Episode 5 - Our Apologies to Mr. Putin
Do you like the black embeddable player? I chose it to represent our solidarity with the people of Tibet and TWiU's boycott of the Beijing Games.
This week we're talking about our new Sydney studio, my foray into the 2020 Youth Summit, and Jesse's gatecrashing of the grown up's summit. Our sincere apologies to Vladimir Putin (or Vlad as we call him), but our recorded interview with him was forced to cut short due to some stuff ups by our new sound engineer who didn't know how to work the switches in our new studio. We've fired him, so hopefully we won't have to experience that kind of embarrassment again, and Mr Putin has agreed to come back on the show the next time he is in Canberra.
Stay tuned next week as we record live from tomorrow's Torch relay in Canberra where the TWiU team will down on the ground, asking what local Canberrans think of the Beijing Games.

Status Update
Dear loyal fans and visitors.
The podcast has been put on temporary hiatus as I attended the 2020 Youth Summit last weekend and Jesse has been held up with a backlog of issues at the Commonwealth Ombudsman's Office due to some serious fups from Immigration.
Not to pre-empt our next show, but we have received a number of emails from listeners concerned the show had been cancelled, whereas I can assure this is in no way the case, Rumours have been circulating lately in the media and various blogs on TWiU's new direction and all I'm saying at this point is that yes, there will be a new direction from the show, and no - none of the existing members are leaving.
We're moving into a new studio too, by the way. Not that this really matters to you, our lowly listener, but one our bigger sponsors, Sony BMG, has leased out one of its professional recording studios in Sydney for the next year. Personally, I'm very excited, though this is going to mean more trips back and forth whereas I don't see anything wrong with our portable mic and laptop set up. Here's some shots of the new crib.
Tune in next week for details on a competition for one lucky listener to win a guided tour with the TWiU crew of the new studio and podcast guest.

Episode 4 - End of an Era?
Hello TWiU fans, we're back in canberra where some of us have found employment. The podcast has been in turmoil as such but we'll definitely be back on our feet by next week. This week's podcast discusses a summary of our travels and speaking tours, my conversion from Agnosticism to Christianity and our new running training regime.
On an egotistical note, this blog has hit the Technorati top 400 for best blog of the year! Thanks to all those who voted and backlinked us! Sadly, we can't do the same for some of our sister blogs.
