A little Friday night linkspam

Okay, I know about the "special relationship", but this Guardian photo sequence is starting to border on Clinton/Miliband RPS. Milinton, anyone? (Seriously, though - when is the British press going to figure out that Americans are just touchy-feelier than Brits? Every time one of our politicians lays a hand on a Brit, it makes the newspaper. Oh, well - I suppose it's more fun than analyzing the precise angle of Obama's bows every time he meets an Eastern head of state.)

The Doctor Who Podcast Alliance appears to be an attempt to aggregate all the Doctor Who related podcasts in one place. Impressive - there are a few I didn't know about, although at the moment, they're missing one of my faves, Cadmium2. (Which is not exclusively Whovian, but then neither are all of the podcasts listed on the linked page.)

I recently discovered the blog, Sociological Images, and have been fascinated by it. Lots of really fascinating stuff over there. I think I originally stumbled across a set of posts analyzing gender portrayals in advertising, but there's lots of interesting media and social analysis over there.

Aww, thanks Wendy. It's always nice to be a favourite!

In all honesty, I don't think we advertise our existence as much as we should. We've generally felt that word of mouth would work better for us than hard promotion. So far it's worked pretty well and we continue to get new listeners every month.

Having said that, it does sometimes frustrate me that we get missed out on lists like this. We're not after notoriety or podfame but it would be nice to be noticed a little more. That's down to us though I guess :)

Ooo, I love the Who aggregate site! *runs off to boost signal* And I'll check out Cedmium2, which I didn't know about.
