We have moved!
We have moved to Wordpress! Yes, after a couple of years on blogspot I have migrated to a Wordpress installation on one of my own domains. This is primarily because Blogspot limited the number of items in a feed to 25 – Wordpress doesn’t. So now iTunes users can go all the way back to June 2007 and download episode 1 without having to trawl through old blog entries. Plus I think the layouts are much better – my wife described Blogger as Geocities for podcasting!
Competition: Don't be a mug, win one!
Hello all. The Cat and Cthulhu Podcast is taking a break for two weeks whilst I am in the USA for my wedding and honeymoon.
In the meantime to keep you all amused and occupied I am running a competion to win a fabulous Cat and Cthulhu Podcast mug! To enter all you have to do is submit a review of your favourite episode of the podcast. (Guest readers cannot review the episode they starred in though.). The reviews may be positive or negative, it doesn’t matter as long as it reflects your honest opinion of the show.
I will compile a list of the first 100 entries received and the winner will be chosen by roll of D100 (what else? 
)
Selected entries will also be featured on the show and posted in the show notes.
How to Enter:
=========
1. Email your review, either in text or audio (mp3, ogg or wav format), to archimedesuk at gmail dot com. If sending audio please also include a transcript. Please provide your name and your country, country or state of origin. If you win I will contact you via email for the full address to send your prize to.
2. You can alternatively leave the review on iTunes – but please email me your details afterwards.
3. You can also leave your review on the podcastpickle widget on the site, but you’ll have to register with podcastpickle to leave a review there. Again, please email me your contact details.
Website: http://cncpodcast.blogspot.com
Conditions:
========
* One entry per person per episode.
* The closing date is Thursday 25th of October or when 100 entries have been received, whichever is sooner.
* Due to cost of postage the mug is only available to those with either a UK or USA address.
* The die roll is final – unless it rolls a number not allocated to an entry in which case it will be re-rolled until an entry is rolled-upon.
* Please keep rude words, etc. to a minimum. Defamatory or otherwise unpleasant entries will be discarded. This show is meant to be suitable for all.
Well that’s all for now, happy listening!

Cat & Cthulhu – A Promo
Do you know what happens when Cthulhu dies?
Do you think a soft toy can use a submersible?
Where does Master get his hair ties from?
What is the meaning of life?
All these questions will be answered soon.
Issue 7 out ths evening
The main story of Episode 7 of Cat & Cthulhu is currently residing within Audacity, awaiting the addition of introduction and credit sequences. Unfortunately due to my joining the workforce today you’ll have to wait until 18:00BST for the issue. Apparently the main reason for the delay was that Magnus, this week’s guest reader, got drunk watching the latest Harry Potter film. Which is perfectly understandable I think.
Where are the psuedopods?
Hi. Due to flooding in Sheffield (rolling blackouts and then no internet for 24hours) I haven’t been able to do C&C. I’ll try to post the latest episode this evening (Saturday).
Delay – Episode 4
Due to family commitments Episode 4 of Cat & Cthulhu won’t be released until Saturday. Apologies for any inconveniance caused.
Cat & Cthulhu – Now on iTunes!
Hello everyone. Just a quick entry to bring you the news that Cat & Cthulhu is now featured on the iTunes Store at http://phobos.apple.com
As you probably guessed this blog and it’s feed exist not only for your listening pleasure but also for myself to gain more technical experiance with podcasting, and what a steep learning curve indeed! I gained most of my knowledge from the rather simply named: http://www.how-to-podcast-tutorial.com/ Now it’s an ok tutorial but is getting a bit dated. Some of the sections becoming more guidelines than actual tutorials. For example, the chicklet code-adding video is redundant since Feedburner now has a utility to add one directly to your appropriate blog. Exploring everything is the key here.
So, since this is a “experimental” blog I wouldn’t expect it to be fully featured or customised. That will come with the official production blog and feed. Don’t worry though – I will be sure to continute posting episodes here until such time when the proper site is completed and you’ve all edited your ‘bookmarks’.
So happy listening – our next episode will be released this coming Wednesday: “Episode 3 [III? - Editor] – In the Words of Obi-Wan”
