Podcast 250 – My bottom looks like a chewed orange

No flashy intro on this one. No smartphone news. It’s all a bit serious I’m afraid. Cancer. It’s not a nice thing to talk about and it’s not something I’d ever imagine doing a podcast about, but since the last Coolsmartphone Podcast (in July!) I basically very nearly died. Here, then, is my story and how I went to a completely normal Sunday morning to being told, only a week later, that I had hours to live. Don’t worry though, because there’s a lot more to this – it’s a story of hope and the how the utterly amazing NHS brought me back to planet Earth. There’s a number of lessons along the way. Oh, and if you have a bit of cash floating about – do donate to the Blood Cancer UK for all the hard work they do. Also a MASSIVE thank-you again to the utterly amazing NHS staff who have taken care of me throughout all this. Get in touch with me on Twitter or via our contact form. Next podcast will be more “normal” I promise Get Listening: Your options to listen to the podcast are as follows: Listen to any episode on Spotify. Get us on TuneIn too.

The dog has no relevance but will raise interest in this post. Click-bait in your face, baby. “Sporadic” seems to be the word for these podcasts. If you’ve listened to some of them then you might be aware that they’re usually recorded in the car as it’s the only free time I have. However, these are not normal times. These are very strange times and that “podcast I recorded the other week” was actually nearly 3 months ago. Here, then, is my mini ramble about COVID-19, Huawei, Honor and the app installation methods needed on these phones. More a-coming guys! More a-coming..

This one is a bit special and if you want to see the video version just head here. Paul O’Brien gave me a nudge and suggested we just have a relaxed chat and a discussion about the current coronavirus situation plus our favourite gadgets at the moment. The whole thing is available to watch right here but, if you want the audio-only version, you can listen too. We discuss.. How coronavirus has changed things. Working from home! Our current kit. Celebrating our key workers. Showing off the Honor MagicBook 14. The smartphones we’re just not using. 5G and mast fires Quibi Sunbathing on lockdown?! Much more!

Normally I record these podcasts whilst driving to and from work. However, the world has turned upside down of late and I’m instead sitting at home eating far too many biscuits. It’s all a bit weird isn’t it? The coronavirus has changed things so much, and despite the fact that sitting at home is a lot better than being in a hospital bed, we’re all having an unexpected amount of time on our hands. This is why we started the “Home Active” feature, and in this special Lockdown Podcast, I’m sat in my kitchen looking at the various options available to keep your boredom at bay. I just can’t really help with those home haircuts sadly. Also, if you’re around next Tuesday evening, I’ll be doing an exclusive podcast with Paul O’Brien. Tune in for that one – we’ll have more details closer to the time. Get in touch with me on Twitter or via our contact form.

Yes, we’re back – the podcast has returned! We should have a big bumper news package after Mobile World Congress in Barcelona but, as you know, that went in the bin due to coronavirus outbreak. In this episode we cover that and the impact it’ll have on the people who were going to attend. What about all those who invested so much to get there? Also, I talk a bit more about leaving Sky, coming back and then leaving again. There seems to be a lot of interest in this at the moment as Sky TV have whacked up their prices quite a bit. More to come, and another podcast will be online shortly, but do get in touch with me on Twitter or via our contact form.

It’s been a huge two months since the last podcast. What happened? Well, normally I record these podcasts whilst driving and, just recently I’ve had a distinct lack of car. Instead I’ve done the commute on my bike. It helped with the preparation for that mad bike ride I did last week, but I did get a sore bottom. In episode 250.. Tracking and sharing your location live.

Another new intro, a lot of talk about MOT’s, fishing, caravans and actual smartphone-related chatter too. It’s all here folks, and it’s part of Podcast 249. Recorded in the car, in this episode I also do a manly “pap” on the horn due to the driver in front drifting in his lane because he was too busy texting whilst driving. Also in this episode… I pinched the wife’s car. MOT failure! OnePlus 7 details, and it’s now available. 5G, and why it’ll probably benefit the networks more than you. Valencia. Proper nice!

I recorded this yesterday. Just yesterday. It’s our funtastical podcast – the one that walks that dangerous line between serious tech talk and how I once parked my Lexus underneath a Land Rover (no, really).

The dash cam starts to tell me what to do. Glastonbury! giffgaff goodybag changes. Samsung Galaxy Fold – An update InvisibleShield nano-technology I try and buy some apples! A whole bag!
