When I started podcasting, I vowed I wouldn't record an episode longer than 35 minutes.  It only took three episodes to break that vow.  And when you listen to Episode 3, you'll probably notice a certain irony in it all.

Also, that annoying ticky noise?  Took me three episodes to figure out what it was.  My chair.  Not changing my chair.  Ticky noise stays, I guess.

Episode 2 - The Beautiful Game

"Remarkable.  Unbelievable.  Impossible.  And true.  It's all true!  We've got the film to prove it."  -- tag line for Terry Gilliam's film, "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".

I'd forgotten, in preparing episode two, that Les Bleus were staying at the Schloss Munchausen in Germany  -- somehow it seems fitting that their astounding arrival at the World Cup final rivals anything that the good Baron himself could ever have got up to.

But that's what's so great about dreams -- you just never know where they'll take you.

(and the record by Gérard Darmon.  If you want, amazon.fr has some 30 second or so clips you can listen to)

P.S. Magic.  Magic magic magic.  Magic magic magic magic magic.

Perhaps I shall have got it out of my system now...

P.P.S  Yes, I know there's a problem with the sound.  Someone ::cough:: hit one of the knobs on the mixer and didn't notice it until right near the end of the recording.  The Tech Guy solved it right away.  But I didn't have the heart to re-record, and he did his best to mitigate the worst of it all.

P.P.P.S.  I can be forgiven.  I just watched "Téléfoot", and heard the word "magie" linked so many times to Zizou's play that I can see I'm not alone in finding no other word to describe what he does. 

The Meltdown: Take 2...

To paraphrase the late, great Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) "Rumors of Cinéfolle's demise have been greatly exaggerated".

In truth, the Cinéfolle Herself has been ill, which when combined with some oppressive summer heat and humidity, and compounded by frustration over Not Being Able To Record The Perfect Podcast In A Single Take, has led to a bit of a meltdown.

However, she's on the mend, both physically and psychically, and is busily preparing Episode 2 which, she hopes fervently, will be posted Real Soon Now.

If you look in the sidebar, you'll also see a new feature: a link to ODEO.com to record a message for the Cinéfolle.  You can record comments, suggestions, opinions, praise or (well reasoned) criticism.

So, dear listeners, rest assured that Episode 2 of Cinéfolle will soon see the light of day.  Stay tuned...
