Issue Four of the world's first cricket podcast series, The Net Sessions, is out now. A big thank you to everyone who has been waiting patiently for the next edition to come out. And thank you for all the feedback that I have received.
Issue Four is actually the first of two that I intend to release this week. It begins with a salute to England's victory over Australia in the Ashes. This is followed by a roundup of major results over the past four weeks, and concludes with a report on the involvement of the Indian and Pakistani cricket teams in a major United Nations program. The running time is 11 minutes 50 seconds.
Audio excerpts in this edition of the following:
- "Waltzing Matilda" - lyrics Banjo Paterson, music Christina Macpherson adapted from traditional. Performed by Roger McGuinn whose recording is available in full and for free from Project Gutenberg;
- "Jerusalem" - words William Blake, music Hubert Parry;
- Adolf Ogi press conference audio, courtesy UN Radio.
The MP3 version can be downloaded here (64kBps, mono, 11:50, 5547K). This podcast is also available, and recommended, in Ogg Vorbis format (Q2, mono, 11:50, 5501K).

I'm looking for sponsorship for future episodes of The Net Sessions, anticipating an increase in frequency of these programs, as well as an increase in usage of disk space and bandwidth.
This is a great opportunity for your business to raise its profile across the cricketing world by becoming involved with a piece of cricket broadcasting history, the world's first continuing cricket podcast series, The Net Sessions.
Opportunities exist for sponsorship announcements within each podcast and, for longer programs, a 10-15 second advertisement. If you're interested, please leave a message on my feedback page, selecting "Advertising/Sponsorship Opportunities" on the Subject menu. Or leave me a voicemail at any of the above addresses. Or give me a call during Australian daytime hours on 0412 321617 (international, +614-123-21617).
