Here’s a bit of an Erk update if you aren’t following me on Twitter or reading Crackbook, that is! 

 

Today I was going to record episode 170 of Erk Pod with Drue but haven’t been feeling well over the last couple of days. Maybe it is the longish heat stretch, maybe it was the many days I worked in a row (admittedly not as many as Drue!) or maybe I just feel like crap for no reason, who knows! So I didn’t feel it was right to record an episode today.

 

However since episode 169 of Erk Pod, I have released 2 episodes of Erk FM which is my new music podcast. Today I have been doing show prep for episode 3 that will be released at the end of next week and it features a great song list from some talented female performers. I’ve also been reviewing artists for episode 4 and beyond.

 

Also during the last couple of weeks, things have been coming together for my US trip in April/May. The plane tickets have been purchased, my passport has arrived, I have applied successfully to enter under the Visa Waiver Program and I have a place to stay in LA for the 3 days after my arrival. Next I have to work on travel insurance and a hire car.

 

And I’ve been continuing with my Twitter 365 photo series. It’s an interesting series to see how creative some people have been about their photos.

Welcome to episode 1 of Erk FM! In this episode, Erk has found various songs that podcasters use as their theme music. Often, podcasters will use a few seconds of a song relevant to their show as their theme music but you often don’t get to hear the entire song. However on this episode, you will get to hear the songs in full!

Thank you to the various podcasters who supplied the song information to me. Be sure to check out their shows and tell them Erk sent you! The majority of the music for this episode comes from the Podsafe Music Network.

Note that the final song does contain mature themes and situations.

Welcome to episode 36 of Echo Romeo Kilo One One. In this episode, Erk is on location at the Garfield Road level crossing adjoining Riverstone railway station. He later moves to the Level Crossing Road level crossing between Vineyard and Mulgrave railway stations.

Erk talks about some of the history of the Richmond line. Also learn about some of the development of level crossings over time as trains have got faster, longer and heavier. Of course over time, the amount of road traffic has exploded as well.

While Erk moves between level crossings, there is a public service announcement that was a part of a recent anti-trespass and level crossing safety here in NSW (source: NSW Level Crossing Strategy website).
