Does anyone listen to them? There are several, magic week in review, itricks, ect. News and interviews... Anyone have any reviews on these? Thoughts?

(sorry if this is the wrong area..)

I've just started "This week in magic" during my commute. It's pretty good, but the hosts have a nasty habit of interrupting their guests. I'm hoping that will improve with time.

John

I listen to itricks sometimes
depending on the interview

is ok.. not the best radio nor podcast there is
but is ok

"magic week" (MNW) has a couple interviews with Mr.Brooks.

John, how many have you listened to? How modern (xcm, ect) is it?

John, is it called "this week in magic"? I can't find it

Kevin, it is linked at the magic newswire page http://www.linkingpage.com/

The host posts here as magicnewswire.

I downloaded the past 4 episodes as a sampler. I'll definitely keep tuning in for a while.

John

Thanks for the feedback John

I actually do 2 podcasts. They are both in the same feed at iTunes listed as The Magic Newswire.

One is the "Spirit of Magic." This s the more serious "NPR" style of interview. If you go to Magic Newswire.com and look in the left column, you'll find a list of our past guests and can click on their name to listen to the interview that you are interested in. We just posted our 181st interview which was with Paul Vigil.

In addition, we recently started a new podcast called "This Week in Magic." The concept is that of a group of magicians getting together after a convention in the pub and talking magic with a special guest. It is a MUCH more casual chat as you would expect n such an environment and the one that John was mentioning.

Hope that is helpful.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email me at MagicNewswire@gmail.com or to PM me here.

We just finished recording the latest This Week in Magic with Jamy Ian Swiss and it should go up late tomorrow.

Hey Dodd. Thanks for the second link. I'll check out Spirit of Magic this week.

And thanks for the commuting pleasure the past four This Week in Magic have given me.

John

My pleasure John,
At this time, all of the shows are in the same feed. If you click on the iTune's link in my signature, you'll find the subscription link in the iTunes Store. Don't let the word "subscription" fool anyone. It is a free podcast and there is no cost to subscribe via iTunes.

Alternatively, you can simply listen to the show on the website using the bult in player, or you can download that MP3 file using the link beneath that. The MP3 can then by transfered to your phone, mp3 player, burned to CD or handled in whatever way that you deal with potable media.

Hope this is helpful to anyone new to this, but feel free to let me know if I can help in any way.

Thanks for listening everyone. I am blown away by our audience size. When I started the Spirit of Magic interviews in 2005, I was thrilled to get 100 listeners. Now it is in the thousands and continuing to grow! Please tell your friends!

I was a massive fan of both go magic go and the magic lantern. magic newswire has some pretty good stuff on it. got into it during the Celebracadabra coverage. (i liked the show, don't hate me)

I've been listening to the Ellusionist podcast this week, and they're pretty enjoyable. There's not many of them, and they're a lot more 'homegrown' than I'd expect from a company like E. What I do like about them is that they are very laidback and they let the guests actually talk during the interviews, unlike some of the others.

I'll definitely be checking out Magic Newswire now.

Thanks Renaldo. Let me know if you have any questions.

I listen to many of your podcasts, Dodd, and greatly enjoy them all. Any chance of your hinting at who your next interview guest is going to be?

We'll have Shawn Farquhar on the next This Week in Magic which we'll record sunday. Upcoming interview guests on The Spirit of Magic are Bill Malone, Andrew Goldenhersh & Nicholas Johnson from the Real Hustle Australia.

Jamy Ian Swiss is our guest on this week in magic. Scott Wells was recording form a remote location during the annual Houston Area magicians holiday party last night so we had a few surprise guests. Enjoy! http://bit.ly/4oF4dW

The podcast for the Fellowship of Christian Magicians is posted once a month on iTunes and at http://www.themagicpodcast.com

Forgot to mention Paul Gertner

Based on the interview with Jamy Ian Swiss, I learned I really won't have time to listen to these podcasts anymore. Intead, I need to practice and perfect the center deal and other move monkey sleights, just in case I need them one day in the future. And besides, who among us wants to be viewed as a "hack" in the all-knowing eyes of Mr. Swiss? Not me, that's for sure!

Shawn Farquhar joins the Magic Newswire as a field reporter and interviews the amazing Bob Fitch! http://bit.ly/6LR8fX

As promised... here's our chat with Shawn on the most recent episode of This Week in Magic. I'll be interested to hear your follow-up comments after listening. Enjoy! http://bit.ly/bCx3Py
