Mad Dogs and Vodcasters

Like any self respecting business, our enterprising digits are in some delicious and productive pies. One of clients, www.satnavvoices.co.uk have commissioned us to produce a range of new celebrity sound a like voices. Colin, my erstwhile co Director, or "Aussie Col" as he's labelled on the Littlewoods Pokercast does the most jaw dropping Krusty the Clown. This is one clown you won't mind taking directions from! Believe you me, Col's mastery of this Simpsons stalwart will even compel you to go on highly unnecessary and lengthy drives just to hear those comedy "k's". It won't be long before you can download Krusty, Chris Tarrant, Alan Partridge, David Bekham, Terry Wogan, Lloyd Grossman from those nice people at satnav voices. And while we're on the subject, gratuitous congratulations to Mark P.It was whilst road testing the Tarrant voice on my Tom Tom that I was led in a Wonkana accountant direction. Having duly arrived at my destination and being told by Mr Tarrant that I had "won £32,000", I sauntered through the gates of those "refreshingly different accountants", Chartax. If any company ever lived up to it's strap line, it's Nick and Sue. Where else would a territorial dalmation snarl at you in a vaguely unwelcoming fashion before being hauled off by a chartered accountant? It's different and Sue's frothy coffee was certainly refreshing.I won't trouble you with the financial minutae of the bourgening entity that is Wonkana Productions, suffice to say that podcasting and vodcasting is our middle name. Sure, it's akward and time consuming when booking a restaurant table, but we'll suffer for our art.
Everything crossed for our pitch meeting tomorrow; we've a new video format just finished and it makes YouTube look like a collection of sci fi geeks with camcorders.
Wonkana's the name - pod and vodcasting's the game.
