In 2007, I started covering the Australian version of reality TV show Big Brother via a blog on Myspace called "Erk to the Diary Room". Then I listened to some podcasts (Big Brother Weekly, Behind Big Brother and Reality Cast) and decided that I could do that. So after week 5 of BB, I decided to podcast and Erk Pod and Erk to the Diary Room (ETTDR) was born.
Initial Erk Pod content was mainly ETTDR but after ETTDR and BB finished, Erk Pod has grown as has my podcast ability. I was undecided whether to continue my BB coverage for 2008 but with the new hosts and newish audition procedure, I thought I'd continue ETTDR in 08.
However, I realise that not everyone is a BB/reality TV fan and for some people (especially those listening from outside Australia) so they might want to listen to ETTDR/BB content. But for those who do, I have now started a website and podcast feed for ETTDR. Starting with 2007 content from ETTDR podcast episodes and then with ETTDR blog entries as posted on Myspace, this will continue into 2008 with new podcast episodes and blogs.
You can visit the new ETTDR site here at the easy to remember www.erktothediaryroom.com address and you can listen to episodes there. I am working to put all the 2007 content online ASAP and I may indeed be producing the first ETTDR episode for 2008 shortly which will cover the start of the audition process. I have placed ETTDR on iTunes but it is waiting to be approved. If you can't wait, you can get onto the feed here.
Also, my new Erk Pod co-host Drue will also be joining me for ETTDR. Drue is a big fan also and we watched the 07 BB finale and other episodes together. He will have some opinions from a different point of view of another demographic to draw from.
At the moment, it is my plan to have at least 1 "studio" type Erk Pod episode a week as well as a separate ETTDR episode also at least weekly while BB is in season. Out of season, ETTDR episodes would only be done as required, possibly once a fortnight or once a month. I'll record with Drue whenever possible.
