I have just posted a new podcast, a video podcast this time on Spondicious Photography. This one is about dealing with open paths in Illustrator so that the images I send in don't get rejected by the micro stock photograpy sites for this technical problem. The previous podcast was an interview with a Australian guy living in Argentina off his micro stock photography business. He says how great it is to have a non location specific income, so that he can live where he wants to.

Although I just sell my photos and illustrations right now I have bought a video camera and intend to get going in that direction too. One site also will sell Flash and audio files for you.

I have to tell you that the income is proportional to your skill with creating photos that sell and the size of your portfolio, but if you are patient then there is income available. Good luck

Nice one Foxbat - I was laughing my socks off with the video you posted about Yorkshire airlines and as I did live in Leeds for four years I can atest to the basis for the jokes. Some Yorkies think you need a passprt to leave Yorkshire.

Yorkshire was a great place to live and I really must visit Leeds again some day. Probably changed out of all recognition but ....

I used to be able to get Marmite here and now the shops only have Bovril which is a no no for vegetarians.

Malt loaf by Soreen - I brought four of them back on my last trip to England.

Jam Doughnuts once in a while.

Probably a few other things given time to think about it more.

I just posted up the latest podcast on BravaChat in which the feature is an interview with Chris Pinchen who was responsible for organising Podcasmp Barcelona. In the interview he talks about how he ended up in Spain and he comments on living and working in Barcelona and Lleida in Catalonia and an interlude in Madrid.

I can't give you links yet as I haven't made enough posts yet but search for BravaChat on iTunes to subscribe or go to Bravachat  to see the original post

I met Chris this year in Mas Nou near Barcelona at the Podcamp Barcelona event. The Podcamp was all about new media, like blogging, audio and video podcasting, Screen casts, mashups  and a sprinkling of politicians doing what politicians do (mostly talking rubbish). I presented a podcasting for beginners session and a couple of people turned up and listened even.

Chris tells us about what it is like living in Spain in a couple of different places and has lots to say about some tech type things here in Spain. He also talks about language learning from 2 perspectives, both the teaching English angle and also regards learning Catalan and Spanish.

You can click on the picture to the left to get the podcast. It is an enhanced podcast with clickable links. More links below for Chris also. You can contact Chris at Cataspanglish on Wordpress and also at Podcamp Barcelona, he even has a web site about Spanish cooking called Spanish Sauce.

Check out Chris’s views on TV in Spain and the politics of internet and Telefonica. Have you wondered why we only get low speed broadband here in Spain?

At podcamp Barcelona were people like Don McAllister of Screencasts online. Pim pam pum and their mash ups using Flickr and other sources.

There was Mark Pendleton from Coffee Break Spanish, You might like to subscribe to that to help you learn Spanish easily with a podcast.

You don’t have to have an iPod to listen to a Podcast. A Podcast is downloadable media that you can also view in your web browser, basically an internet radio show. Or an internet TV show if it is a video podcast like BravaChat Podcast 04 with the Catalan Human castles
