91Èȱ¬

Hello there,

If you are sitting comfortably, the podcast is ready to begin for this week. If we mentioned a site that you would like to know more about, this is the place to find those links.

For openers we have a chat with Kate Arkless Grey, the tireless voice of the 91Èȱ¬ World Service project Save Our Sounds. While away in Canada, she very kindly took a moment to tell us more about the audio ecology project and how it has won an award. Congratulations to that team!

Naturally on Pods and Blogs we like to chat with the cream of the crop so, from one award winner to another we chat to Alfie Dennen about his project. Aflie and project co-developer Paula Le Dieu have won the London region commission for the Cultural Olympiad project, Artists Taking the Lead.

More art in this podcast for the week, The Insterstitial Arts Foundation is about to publish its second volume of stories as well as releasing work online in the lead up to the date the book comes out. Christopher Balzac is one of the book's editors, he explains what are all about.

Chris Vallance is back with us again to file a lovely report about personalised news. We've come a long way since Fleet Street was the newspaper hub in the UK, could the be right about a modifiable, personalised news print service?

That's all for this week, but in the mean time, if you see something wonderful in the world of blogs, podcasts and more, let me know by dropping an email to podsandblogs at bbc dot co dot uk
