LaTrobe Uni video- Enjoy!

If you are receiving this, you probably know about iTunes for Podcasts. But, have you ever looked into iTunes U?? You can get some great programs there, University level lectures, and all for free. I've listened to a 25 lecture series on both the American Revolution and the Civil War.

This video is the joining of two different videos from LaTrobe University in Australia. All credits are at the end of each video. I found them to be both amusing and informative.

Please leave a comment on here or at www.boiseandbeyondpodcast.blogspot.com if you liked it!!

I thank LaTrobe University for sharing their classes with the general public, and hope I can generate more traffic their way.

Give away contest... The first subscriber who leaves an appropriate comment will receive a prize. (I'll give you the choice of a CD from an artist played on here, or a travel journal)

If you are from somewhere outside of the USA, please leave a comment on your favorite episode!

30 Minutes you Won't Want Back

I heard about President Obama agreeing to send troops into Uganda several months ago. As Retired Military, all I could think was, "Uganda?? Really? How is our National Defense at risk there?"

I wish this video had been available before the troops were approved to be deployed.

Thank you, President Obama. You listened to the People. Please keep the advisers in Uganda until this criminal despot murderer has been captured.

BNB 43 1/2- Royal Marines Museum

This show was recorded at the Royal Marines Museum in Portsmouth, England on 15 Feb 2012.

The volumn is a bit low as I wasn't expecting to record anything and it was all done on my iPhone. The docent who begins the recording was quite the character, and I just thought I'd be recording his bit, but as we went into the museum, it was filled with sounds, music and audio which I thought you might enjoy.

To get the complete episode, including the 33 minutes from the museum, subscribe to my podcast at boiseandbeyond.libsyn.com or in iTunes, my RSS feed is boiseandbeyond.libsyn.com/rss

There won't be any added music, as there is plenty during the show already.

Intro from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, the Captain General of the Royal Marines

From the RMM website:

"Explore the fascinating history of the Royal Marines. Take a walk through history from 1664 and learn about the lives of the extraordinary people who have become Royal Marines. Follow a recruit through training and on to deployment around the world, then creep through the jungle, marvel at the medal collection and take a trip down memory lane in our WW2 home front kitchen. Finish your day in our award winning café The Quartermaster’s Kitchen and our Museum shop and enjoy our seafront location."

"The Royal Marines have a unique place in the country's armed services. They were rated in 1664 as sea soldiers and, even after 340+ years, their fundamental role remains much the same."

Where

Southsea, Portsmouth, along the seafront.

"We offer free school sessions at the Royal Marines Museum. All school sessions at the museum are facilitated by members of our Learning Team. We offer sessions for key stages 1 to 4 as well as further & higher education. The sessions are active, interactive and hands-on. We try to make full use of the museum, its grounds and our excellent teaching collection of artefacts. Our education provision includes a menu of prepared sessions that cover topics including World War II and Remembrance as well as science & citizenship sessions. We try to work in consultation with teachers to tailor the sessions to meet the school's needs. We will even consider building bespoke sessions to meet your needs.

Our school sessions

We offer a wide menu of free sessions for schools. Each session is built from a selection of activities including activities in our grounds, activities in our galleries and handling artefacts from our collection.

Usually we start the session by giving the group a little taste of Royal Marines drill. We get them into formation and give them some simple orders. It makes for a fun start to the session.

Where appropriate we try to finish by having some of the group dress up in our teaching collection uniforms.

It's a fun, interactive photo opportunity as well as being a chance to reinforce some of the messages of the session. If none of these sessions are quite what you're looking for, please contact us and we'll do what we can to accommodate you."

If you are a local to the Portsmouth area, you might concider becoming a "Friend" of the museum which has many benefits, not the least of which is one years free admission to the museum and free all day parking. We paid 2 pounds for 3 hours parking which was just enough for a visit, but for 20 pound individual or 26 pound family annual pass... the parking alone will make up the savings. The car park is as close to the beach as you can get, off street, and easily accessible for all ages and abilities.

Vicki in Idaho-

This month, I am going back to England.Afterwards I will be doing product reviews on a mobile wifi rental, a Quad phone service, the Savoy Hotel in Blackpool, and I'll be giving a report on the Legends dinner at Fratton Park for the induction of former players into Portsmouth FC Hall of Fame.

In Oct, I will be going to a Super Secret Location in October. If you haven't already, go to audioboo.fm and search for my boo account under TIGGR... I'm going to try to travel with one less piece of equipment this trip, my laptop, so I'll be sending out up to 30 min of updates and/or soundscapes through audioboo. When I get home, I'll edit together the best bits from the BOOs, if any, and put them up as a podcast.

Hopefully, I'll have some new music from this trip too!

Back to Back to Back (B2B2B) This is the part of the show where the music comes in.

Todays our musical guest is: NICK TANN

Nick is from the south coast of England, quite near Portsmouth, in fact, and is a singer/songwriter and podcaster. His "Is This Thing On Podcast" is one of the best I've found. His patter and banter with mates inbetween selections from Indie artists make 90 minutes seem like 10. I listen to most podcasts at work, and if I have to stop what I'm doing to fast forward through a song that hurts my ears, I remember. This RARELY happens with Nick's selections.

"I’m a singer/songwriter born and raised in London, now living near Southampton on the south coast of the UK.

My main instrument is a 12 string guitar that I have had since I was 18 years old.

I write songs about things that have happened to me, to people I know and some other stuff that I just make up.

My influences reflect in my songs. Elvis Costello by way of Sting, Jeff Buckley and Stevie Wonder although people have often compaired me to Nick Drake and John Martyn."

On his personal website, nicktann.co.uk, he has three, count em, three albums you can download for....

FREEEEEEEEE!!

I bought a CD from Nick which was a mere 5 English pounds... about 8 dollars, and that included mailing it all the way to Idaho! It has with 14 selections on it, and I'm going to randomly play three of them for you. They are all from Indie artists who graciously allowed Nick to use them in this compilation, so if you like any of them, or want the entire CD, please buy directly from the artist, if you can. I'm going to try and bring home a couple more copies for future give-aways.

Songs:

The Backpacker ............ Tim Farrell

Fusion ..................... Gideon's Demise

Regrets .................... Amaya Huntly

Bonus Track........

Life is a River ............ Nick Tann

BNB Show 41- Moving over to Libsyn

Good morning/afternoon/evening from the Beeeee you tea full Rocky Mountain State of Idaho

Today's show color is: Green (all ages)

B2B2B spotlight is on: Jonathan Walker

This is the first show from my new host, Libsyn. iTunes is showing 40 shows for me, including all the bits and pieces I have uploaded, so we'll start the numbers off at 41 with this show.

First of all, if you have been listening to me all along, or at least since before the move to Libsyn, thank you soooooooo much!!! If you are a new listener/subscriber... WELCOME!! It's nice to have you. In either case, drop me a note and let me know who you are and how you found the show.

Write to the show at anytime... boiseandbeyond@gmail.com or leave a voice mail on the comment line at 1-401-6BOISE6... UK and NZ numbers available, but you'll have to ask for them.

Why did I change to Libsyn?

Mevio meltdown

Where have I been since the last show? Well, the last two shows were Feb and Oct of 2010. That's right, over a year ago since the last show.

Since Feb of 2010, I have been to:

England

San Francisco/Sacramento, CA

Las Vegas, NV

Tucson, AZ

New Zealand

San Antonio, TX

Sun Valley, ID

In subsequent shows, I'll be telling you about parts of those trips. Where I stayed, who I met (and how I met them to begin with), what I saw (tourist and non tourist) and generally how each trip was.

In 2012, I will be going back to England as well as a Super Secret Location in October. If you haven't already, go to audioboo.fm and search for my boo account under TIGGR... I'm going to try to travel with one less piece of equipment this trip, my laptop, so I'll be sending out up to 30 min of updates and/or soundscapes through audioboo.

When I get home, I'll edit together the best bits from the BOOs, if any, and put them up as a podcast. Hopefully, I'll have some new music from this trip too!

I'll be formatting this show a bit differently from the old Boise and Beyond shows that you've come to know and love.

I'll still have stories from my travels, travel tips, news and views, but the music segment will be called Back to Back to Back (or...B2B2B).

This is where I'll play three selections from a single artist or group, without interruption. If, by some chance, there are explicit lyrics in the song, the show color will be RED... If I'm not sure how the music will be received, the color will be YELLOW... and if I'm wowed by the music and it's suitable for all ages, the show color will be GREEN.

Back to Back to Back (B2B2B)

To start off our new relationship with Libsyn, our musical guest is

Jonathan Walker

"I was born in Liverpool about 30 years ago in Mill Road Hospital in Liverpool, since demolished (Not because of me). I grew up in Paraguay (Next to Brazil) which is where I first discovered my love of music in general and the Beatles in particular. At 9 years old a friend of my dad's lent me a copy of "A Hards Day's Night" and it was love at first sight...

I've made my living from playing music for the last few years and it has been a wonderful adventure. As well as Liverpool, I've played in Durham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, York, Chester, Norwich, London, Canterbury, Cambridge, Asheville and Maryland (USA) and many other places. There's a kind of magic playing on the streets that you can't get from playing in doors. It's the people you meet, the songs you can share, and the sense of freedom and

being alive. The one big downside is the weather!"

I met Jonny in April of 2010 when he was playing outside shops in Liverpool One shopping center. We kept walking by him, to and from the quay and the Beatles exhibits, so I stopped and took some video of him busking and bought one of his CD's.
