It takes more than a bit of snow...or does it?

It's ages since I updated the blog but with good reason - Podcats have been busy!

Just before Christmas we landed a contract with the NHS to produce a series of video podcasts for their Clinical Leaders Network project in London and a series of Master Classes. So it's full steam ahead.

Well - I say full steam ahead because the weather has caused a slight hiccup in the Masterclass series. The first event was on Monday February 2nd in central London and that day has now gone down in the history of British weather as the first time that London buses have been unable to take to the streets since....well since before the war and that includes the Blitz.

We had travelled to the venue the night before having seen the weather forecast and not wishing to be stuck in a snowdrift on the M40 at five in the morning on the day of the shoot....

Suffice it to say that the event was ready to roll - the set, the PA and the lights from the COI, the cameras from Podcats, the speaker from the US - but most of the delegates (250 were expected) were unable to get there and it had to be called off.

So we packed our kit and headed out of town again through a winter wonderland. They hope to reschedule the class for later in the year.

The first Clinical Leaders Network event however was snow free and the first episode is now published - episode two is due to be shot next week. Could someone inform the weather please!?
