Broadcasting this week from the Burj Dubai Hotel - the world's tallest free standing building. It wasn't cheap booking a room this high but definitely worth it. Here is a peak out Jesse's room window I took before we headed out for a night on the town.


Before we did the set up for the podcast our producer Tim Boyke (Boyky) and I took a walk around the city and of course he had to be 'that guy' that does the funny perspective shots. I wasn't too keen on wasting valuable blog space for the sake of his sense of humour, but I made a promised this would go up.
This week we talk about global warming and Jesse's recent offer to become the Commonwealth ombudsman, succeeding John McMillan. Of course, should he take such a role, he will have to relinquish his panelist position in TWiU - an important decision and I for one am happy to not be in his shoes.

As per popular request, here is the first of many in our new Bloopers! & Extras series... At this stage it's only a streaming audio. If you would like to have the entire Bloopers! & Extras series, it will be availible this June on the TWiU DVD and DVD collector's edition box set as an easter egg. Keep your eye on the blog for clues on accessing more clips.

Our debut podcast, featuring regular panelists Winston and Jesse. RY and my housemate happened to be in the studio at the time and decided to add a few words too.

Topics discussed include the new CGI blockbuster 10 000 BC, the US election, the works of Aldous Huxley and sham marriages for fun and profit.

Jesse thought the girl from 10,000BC was played by Lindsay Lohan (she wasn't). Listeners, let us know what you think.

In other news, Jesse may be getting a public service job and thus might not be appearing in next week's podcast. In any case, I'll keep you up to date with his employment progress. RY and my housemate Chris were sitting on the couch on the other side of mic which explains why they might not be too audible at times. They were also making occasional inappropriate hand gestures and decided to have a game of pool in the middle of the podcast which was just rude.

On listening to the podcast again, I realise we needed more direction on set issues instead of just saying whatever comes to mind, so I've decided to just have at least a couple of things to talk about beforehand. We'd like to open this up to our listeners on this - let us know what you want to hear.

Toward the end of the podcast you will hear Jesse whisper 'sponsers' to me. Now, I didn't forget, I was just making sure we had wrapped up the show before plugging our supporters, but in any case I'd like to apologise formally right now to Vanguard, AOL.com and Audible.com.

Oh and finally we mentioned a nifty little website that let's you compare your face to which celebrity you most resemble. I look like Jackie Chan and Jesse looks like Ehud Olmert. As promised, here is the site : www.myheritage.com. Perhaps Camilla might want to give this a spin.
