The basic idea is to create a national network of local radio, that centres on community oriented activities, including being a portal for businesses as well, and giving very affordable advertising solutions.

Once on the page, look to the right, and please 'back this idea' by cl [...]

New Blog - The Perils Of Drinking Coffee

thevoice@richardheathcote.co.uk — Fri, 14 May 2010 16:25:15 +0100

This is a blog post about my personal coffee drinking habits, and how my coffee making tools have changed over the years! It's more interesting than it possibly sounds....

"I’ve always been a coffee drinker, ever since I was ‘old enough’. Don’t get me wrong, a nice cup of tea is absolutely fantastic, and there are times when only tea will do; after a crisis, when you’ve got a big decision to make, when it’s Tuesday; you know, the important stuff......"

Is it worth paying for a voice over artist?

thevoice@richardheathcote.co.uk — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:43:52 +0100

New Blog Post:

This may be a question that you’ve asked yourself before, or for a lot of you, it probably wouldn’t have even crossed your mind. But there is certainly a proportion of society that own businesses, or are in charge of high profile brands that must at times ask themselves this question. Is it worth paying for a professional voice over artist to promote their brand/company?...

My PayPal Pay Now Button Has Gone Wonky

thevoice@richardheathcote.co.uk — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 18:22:00 +0100

Just a quick update - as I was doing some fiddling with the site yesterday, I've managed to ruin the code that was connected to my paypal page for clients to be able to pay. I'm getting this sorted by my web techie so bear with me until this is fixed. Obviously this only affects people paying me via PayPal, BACS etc is all still fine. Should be back to normal very soon.

o2 Causing Controversy With Apple Fans!

thevoice@richardheathcote.co.uk — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:06:02 +0100

Well, after a series of good announcements from Apple at this year's WWDC event in San Francisco, it seems Apple/o2 have stirred up massive controversy. With purportedly huge upgrade fees for iPhone 3G users to upgrade to the new iPhone '3G S', it doesn't look like there'll be many people queuing this time round!

On first reports, handset cost (on my tariff) works out to about £170. I don't mind that due to the massive 32GB storage plus the new hardware features, but with the requiremen [...]

Things have been rather busy recently, lots of different things in the pipeline with different people, and some very exclusive exciting projects which will be coming your way very soon.

As things had become quite mad, I took the last week off down in Cornwall....and now as I look out the window on a very hot and sunny Monday afternoon, I'm wishing I was back here again! :
