I finally received permission to share the clip of the MacCast being mentioned on The Gadget Show in the UK. The Gadget Show is a show on Channel Five one of the terrestrial broadcast channels in the UK. The show deals with all kinds of gadget ans technology, but in this episode they did a nice segment on Podcasting. Durning the segment one of the shows hosts, Jon, gave the MacCast some very nice praise. Thanks to Jon and the rest of his crew for their support.

Great news Adam! Thanks for the videos; I am downloading the full one now. I would just like to say that as awful as nearly all British accents are; his voice is the worst! We don’t all sounds like that ;)
Congrats Adam, i work on a TV show as well, maybe il think about a segment on podcasts, i will mention the Maccast for sure, il get back to you if i can make it happen.
Well done, to spread the word I have posted it on my blog as well: http://theminiblohg.co.uk/
That was awesome congrats!
Cool stuff. Thanks C5 for allowing the clip to be made available :-)

TIA
That is some sweet exposure! I hope it drives many new listners your way. Gongrats!

the only bad thing about the clip was that the dude was using a windows computer
@seth, yes, though they’ve been featuring the Mac favourably too – apart from the podcast being Mac related, in the following episode a week later they did a PC vs Mac, similar to the PC vs Mac they did about a year ago. Last year they concluded the PC was better value for money, and that the Mac was slower and was expensive to repair – Anyone watching that would of gone with a PC without a second thought. This time around they had a Mac user (one of the guest presenters) who really talked well of the Mac platform. Interestingly the guy on the PC side of the debate was the same guy that recommended the MacCast podcast on the previous show! This time around, anyone watching that would of gone for a Mac without a second thought.
and immediately following that they had several stylish computers; an iMac, a vaio, and a few others, all judged by someone who sells art. He chose the iMac. “Just sheer perfection. Pure, simple, beautiful.”. So anyone watching this episode of the Gadget Show wouldn’t of only decided to go for a Mac; they’d of been drooling all over the telly.
It’s funny, #1 poster, because British people find american accents too :P Infact, I can not listen to podcasts like engadget because it’s so annoying.
Anyways yes, well done for been metioned, found out about this place from that show.
Out of interest – the show got back to me and this is the equipment they used:
