Xan Phillips: December 2008
http://xanphillips.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Broadcaster, journalist and photographer. Monday, December 15, 2008. Showcase UK's first podcast. American poet Stephen Kalinich is the subject of Showcase UK's first podcast. Stephen spent 2008 working with two British musicians: maverick classical guitarist Richard Durrant and dance producer Cal Gibbson. However 2008 also saw Stephen release an album he recorded 40 years ago with beach Boy Brian Wilson. The album was a never released classic of its time. Maybe its time has come?

Broadcaster, journalist and photographer. Thursday, October 30, 2008. Now Is The Time For the Media to Meet Maitreya. Over the coming weeks economic experts will continue presenting ideas on how to resolve the global financial crisis, but not many seem to be thinking about the future. Proof that the city dealers haven’t learnt from this disaster came with the news that billions of pounds have been lost by hedge funds short-selling shares in German car maker VW. Maitreya not only sees our problems as easi...

Broadcaster, journalist and photographer. Tuesday, August 22, 2006. The Free Energy debate. An Irish company called Steorn. Has announced, via a full page advert in the Economist, that they have discovered a way of producing energy for free:. Steorn is making three claims for its technology. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.

Broadcaster, journalist and photographer. Monday, May 28, 2007. New bands and a Storm on Original 106fm. Every Sunday evening at 18:00 (GMT) I host the Original Showcase. During the show we play the best music from our region of the UK – Hampshire. The rain was pouring down and we were receiving messages from people stuck in caravans, especially numbers 144 and 145 - for them the station made a grim day much better. Here are the bands and features for the show on Sunday 27th May 2007. Links to this post.

Xan Phillips: August 2007

Broadcaster, journalist and photographer. Friday, August 17, 2007. The Groove of Jackson Analogue. Have a groove; the type that grabs your body and demands attention. This groove comes from the Isle of Wight and contains infectious guitars acting as a whip to drive the beat or a counter balance to the emotionally charged vocals. All of this energy is seeped in Hammond organ. Combined it makes Jackson Analogue one of the most authentic rock groups around. As for future record deals Jim has this advice for...

Broadcaster, journalist and photographer. Friday, September 22, 2006. From podcasting to broadcasting. It brings me great joy to announce that I have joined Original 106fm. One of the best radio stations in the UK.

Original 106fm is owned by Canadian media giant CanWest. Under the guidance of Programme Controller John Evington. Give him a subje...

Broadcaster, journalist and photographer. Tuesday, February 17, 2009. I Spy A Super Villain. Oh Hollywood come hither! I bring you a script suitable for Bond or Bourne because there has to be a super villain out there toying with our security services, proving the extent of his or her evil abilities, because recently. Two satellites have collided in space ( first time ever. And also a pair of nuclear submarines have 'touched' mid-Atlantic ( equally rare. We could call the film: "Dr Collido's Moon Threat".
