In the latest episode of the 361 degrees podcast, I receive a virtual yellow card for using the word ‘sodding‘ during the episode (referring to MMS). Ben was not impressed at my language and I could feel Rafe giving me a stare from 3,000 miles away. I couldn’t help it. Anyway, let’s get on with [...]
361 degrees podcast – Episode 9: Nokia, what next?
Right this week things got a little bit interesting. Ben describes the debate between Rafe and I as, “a little bit heated” in the text below.

361 Degrees podcast – Episode 5: BlackBerry Bickering
Listen! In a noisy (and slightly longer than normal) Episode 5 recorded ‘on the go’ in a hotel back-room, we argue about Blackberry… a lot. Well… Ben and I argue. Rafe plays peacemaker.

Jonathan MacDonald’s MIR Show takeover
