ockham award token skeptic thanks hayley

It's 8am on a Sunday morning. I'm deep into working on a number of projects and assignments for school, and dealing with an injury that has flared up *just* in time to get in the way of my working on a number of projects... and I forgot when the Skeptic Ockham Awards were on. I thought it was on tomorrow night. And I shouldn't be on the internet, I have too many projects, argh... But the Token Skeptic podcast just won the podcast category in the Ockham Awards, being held over at QEDCon in … [Read more...]

Lizzie Bennet Diaries On Kickstarter (And What Appears To Be Final Q&A)

Do … [Read more...]

On “Still Podcasting” – Women Hosted Podcasting, 2012 (Transom, Libsyn And More)

March 4, 2013 By Kylie Sturgess 2 Comments

It's a little difficult telling people what I do for fun. Yesterday, at a lunch, I had people doing the usual, polite "So, what are you doing now?" kind of conversation, and instead of my knee-jerk reaction of "Oh, the usual: swinging upside down on a chandelier, covered in blancmange, dripping stars and singing to the elephants," I said that I was studying radio full-time, teaching part-time, creating resources for a number of groups (education locally and international), volunteering here … [Read more...]
