very nice Tim! can't wait until you get the real recognition from the top brass

i just listened to it , and it's great!

here's a suggestion , since oakley is opening an O STORE just about every month , can you make that a monthly feature ?

O-STORE paris just opened

More than likely we'll do something like that Fred, so long as we have someone each time willing to cover the details. This month it's Canada, courtesy of Eric.

Awesome, finally DL it. (stuck with dial up at the mo)

its like listening to a radio show devoted to oakley.

Tim you sound like you were made for radio.

cant wait for the next one!

Well, I have lots of things (hopefully!) lined up for the next podcasts, I won't go into detail on those to keep it a nice surprise. However, I really need offers of help to either write or read the following:

liTrivia question (PM me your suggestions - make them tough!)

liQ&A with Dann (PM me whatever you might want to ask)

liReview (something recent would probably be good if you own it)

And, if you have any further ideas, do please let me know.

Thanks - let's make number 2 even better than the first.

I was just thinking, maybe we should really nickname this a 'Thumpcast' or something a bit more Oakleyfied.

Will send some questions to Tim for Dann about the site, hope you guys come with some good ones also :)

Like when are you gonna shave eh ?

I'd like to get some things recorded this week if I can. So if you've offered to do a piece for me, or want to offer to write or read something else, then if you could make it a priority that would be brilliant.

Things I have done:

Retro region (thanks to Lee)


Things I would like to include this month:

Oakley in Japan (I believe Rick was working on this)

How the review started (Dann - obviously)

Sunglass Hut/OPD stuff (Phil)

New Canadian O Store (Eric)

Trivia question (still need some suggestions people)

Q&A with Dann (can't believe I haven't had any questions for the big guy yet but Nik is taking care of some of this)

News (so far all I have is O store Paris thanks to Fred)

Review (again I would need assistance of an owner of an Oil Drum, Spike or another model you think deserves a review)

Thanks for your help in advance guys.

Tim, if you need some help with Oil Drum and/or Spike, just let me know, I have both.

Thanks very much for your offer Jamey, I've PMd you the details.

Guys, thanks for all of your feedback from podcast #2. I'm already on the hunt for ideas for #3, so please post them here if you have any.

Also, if any of you have a mic and are willing to do reads for me, then post here or PM me.

Tim, I would be totally in for a Japan Oakley or a Juliet piece, but I have the inlaws staying with me for a week and then we're going away for a week. I would be more than happy to make a contribution for #4 though.

Would Jim's recent visit be worth a mention in the next podcast? Contest?

Yeah Rick, I am sure we will cover that in some way, shape or form. I'll have a think on that one. Don't really want to advertise the contest though because we could get people coming here from iTunes just to potentially bag a freebie.

Hi guys,

This is early I know, but I am going to be busy in the next few weeks so want to get things sorted. Can anyone please do the following:

- News (early I know, but I just need a volunteer sorted. I don't mind what you cover).

- Review (perhaps one of the new ladies models, if not, Oil Drum).

Retro region is being taken care of as usual by Lee and Phil. And Eric is taking care of the O Store Launch Party.

I don't need any other features this month, as I already have one larger one in the pipeline, which I will be asking for your contributions for in due course.

I'm setting a very provisional date of release during w/c 17th April - this is very much subject to change this month. Contributions should be with me a few days before then.

Thanks for your continued support.

Good point on the contest Tim, this is why I leave the big decisions to others! I'm excited about doing a piece for the May podcast. I'll speak to you about it through PM's soon.

Been really busy recently and still looking that way. To make matters worse, I've had pretty much no content offered up for this month's cast.

Still need a news piece and review, which I can add to retro region when that's done. Eric, how's your Montreal party article coming on?

Desperately need some more assistance/ideas, otherwise may have to delay until next month.

I'll try to record a review and/or do another piece. Just have to wait until the wife is out or she'll think I'm crazy.

I will be writing it this week, looking to buy a microphone to record it, and will ask Alex about details at the vip party and incorporing that.

Will think of something else for the Podcast too.

Cheers guys, all very much appreciated. Trying to think of possible other features myself too.

Are we going to be prepping another podcast soon?

I'm cool to go whenever I get some material through. Things seem to have dried up recently.

At least we're still moving forward with it then. I was working on am SGH feature report last night while at work based on coming new styles and a few exclusives we'll be getting for those who still shop at SGH or don;t have any OPDs. I can have it together quick once we're ready to move on another.

That's great Phil, many thanks. Guys, let's hear your ideas/suggestions for stuff too, don't worry, suggesting something doesn't commit you to actually having to write/read it.

Sorry for the late report guys, buying the microphone tommorow, my report will be done by thursday.

Will try to think of something else too.

Great stuff, thanks for your support as always Eric.
