Changing it up this week with a show from Waterstones bookstore, maidenhead, and an interview with the prop maker from the first three Indiana Jones movies, and the famous golden idol from Raiders of the Lost Ark (though she didn't say much).

The Large Hadron Collider - is it about to send us all into another dimension ? Two weeks tasking the joys of small town American life, the trouble with guns, the trouble with parking charges, and the trouble with not getting around to talk about Delia Smith.

Car repairs - it's not just women who are intimidated by car repair garages. Trips to London to research TableRappers - a video? Does anyone think for themselves any more? It's so much easier to ask someone else than think. Miniature, indoor, remote controlled, battling helicopters. Need I say more? Tracks from George Thorogood and Lacuna Coil from the Podsafe Music Network and eMusic - get a free trial! Promos from Podshow Radio & Rodders FM Also available from MinorTechnicality.net

It's Minor Technicality 36 - Happy New Spring! This episode looks at the changes in PodShow over the past week, Alternative Kitchen Gerden and growing vegetables, TableRappers signed to PodShow Press, rediscovering live music a bit quieter, and the free trial at eMusic.com/minortechnicality Promos from Hall of Mirrors and Made in the UK Tracks from B and Plain White Ts from the Podsafe Music Network. Running time: 36 minutes.

It's Minor Technicality 35 and three years since I started this podcasting lark. Today's episode, I talk about the joys of attending speed awareness classes - thanks, Mr. Speed Camera - and have a moan about podcasters who auto-play their shows on their websites, and since it is around the third birthday of this show, a little despondent retrospective on how community within podcasting failed to live up to its potential and 2008 is time to move on and look at the new, and very different, age of independent media. Tracks from Harrison Kennedy and Manic Street Preachers from the Podsafe Music Network. Running time: 37 minutes.

Welcome to another MinorTechnicality - the first of 2008, and the first of many in 2008 (honest!). I am disorganised and cannot remember whether I've spoken about a particular subject - and by the end of the show I still don't manage it! Update on TableRappers and the very latest audio promo, there's an interruption accompanied by movie popcorn, and I plan ahead with a special target for 2008. Promos from GreenDragon's BiteSizeBonus and TableRappers Persistent Spirit. Music from Natives of the New Dawn and Mean Gene Melton and the Die Hards, from the Podsafe Music Network.
Epsode length: 31 minutes

It's already December 16th and time to give a little Christmas spirit with a handful of Christmas promos from a few other UK shows.

This episode comes to you courtesy of the British transport system, the British aptitude for selfishness, and the British attitude for getting away with stuff.

There's also stuff about beeping toasters, and a very unique, sneak preview of the latest piece of music for TableRappers.com.

Music from Neil Smith and Carey Bell

Another Minor Technicality lights up your ears on a dull, damp, windy December Sunday Morning.
Some feedback on the lastshow - it seems my waffly ranting ruffled some feathers here and there and generated a great response. TableRappers.com - the first prelude episode is finally released after so many hours of hard graft getting it just right.Sleep and waking up to light and birdsong with the Philips HF3461 Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock Tracks from Cactus - Muscle & Soul - and Traces of Nuts - I'm Not Santa Clause I've Come.
