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?

Sleeping 9 to 5 (or there abouts)

There aren’t many groups, societies or clubs that I belong to, and none that I claim to have started, but I feel obliged to make you aware of people who find it hard to be creative in company time.

Their solution is getting up early and working from 5 to 7am.

My father wrote his book in the early hours, I’m sitting here in a similar fashion and my friend Carla White has recently used this two hour slot of peace and quiet to create an application.

It’s called "Gratitude!": a personal gratitude journal for the iPhone.

Unfortunately I don’t possess one of these sexy devices so can’t vouch for her creation but Carla is a great coder and, as we are informal members of the 5am club, I feel obliged to point you to her direction.
