New Home, New Look for the New Year

Feb 10, 2011 by

2011 is well and truly underway, and for those of us who celebrate it, hope you had a great Lunar New Year last week. 

We’ve now moved to our new webhost, and to commemorate the change, I’ve changed the look and feel for the site.  Over the coming weeks we’ll hopefully start filling this place up with, you know, actual content. :)

Let us know how you like it.

Moving Soon.. oh, and Happy Holidays!

Dec 24, 2010 by

It has been a long time.  Sorry for the long, cold, drought of sound and laughter from Bookbabble-land.  We are still around, and have most recently recorded an episode just last Sunday.  Due to work commitments, the post-production work on the podcast has been delayed.

I wanted to make an announcement – we’re going to be moving web hosts pretty soon.  I’m consolidating to a single hosting provider, and take will make managing the site easier for me (background stuff, don’t worry about it).  What you need to know, however, is there should be no impact to you at all – everything else will still work as it always had been (well, too bad the post-production for episodes are still on my lap, and not on the web host’s).

When will this move take place?  Before the year is out.

In any event, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Holidays!

Ep 74: World Cup Chat – Part 2

Aug 29, 2010 by

Bookbabble Episode 74: World Cup Chat – Part 2
Recorded 21 June  2010
Babblers: Marcel, Bjorn, Donny

Synopsis:

Spain-2010-World-Cup-Champions

This is one of the strangest, most languid chit-chat in Bookbabble’s short history.  This episode drops you right in the middle of a football match watched by the boys in three different countries – simultaneously.  And still somehow manage to talk about horror movies, private parts and racism.  Oh, and football related books and movies too.  (Yeah, it would have been better if this episode came out, oh, about 2 months sooner, but hey, at least you get to see how well we did our predictions).

Be warned, this is a rambling, totally unedited show.

Show Length: 1:37:24
