Time for something new
Posted in News on: Monday, June 14, 2010 by Paul Boag
Sometimes you need to leave behind the best things to embrace something new. That is what I want to do with Boagworld and I would encourage you to do the same.
It’s easy to get stuck in a rut especially when things are going well. As humans we fear change and embrace the security of familiarity. However, if we never try anything new then we will never discover anything better.
Change is important for your website, business and life.
That is why from the beginning of July we will be stopping the Boagworld Podcast.
The first show went out on the 23rd August 2005 and has brought with it nothing but success for myself personally and for Headscape.
It has enabled me to speak all around the world, grow my business to 18 people and write a book. All of that would not have been possible without the show.
However, more recently the show has felt restrictive. I have so many ideas I would like to try out and yet the demands of a weekly show has made it almost impossible to try anything new.
I would love to do more live events both online and off. I want to experiment with webinars, screencasts and video. I also want to tackle topics that did not naturally fit with the existing forma. In short it was time to try something new.
Is this goodbye forever?
Some of you will be disappointed with this decision, but this is certainly not goodbye. Somethings will not change…
- I will still be blogging regularly.
- The forum will continue to grow.
- I will never stop twittering.
- I will still be on facebook for those of you who haven’t quit.
- We will still be keeping you abreast of the latest web design news.
- Finally, I will still be releasing my daily audio web design tips.
On top of which I am not saying the podcast will never return. In fact it is my intention to experiment with different formats and content for the remainder of this year, before settling on something new for 2011. This will almost certainly be some form of podcast so stay tuned and do not unsubscribe from the Boagworld RSS feed just yet :)
What do you think?
So with all of this free time on my hands, what do you think I should be doing with it? What new projects do you think I should work on? What would you like to see me covering and in what format?
Also perhaps it is time to ask yourself what you should be doing, and what you need to let go of in order to do that. Why stick with what you have when you could have something better!

I guess this is what it was like when The Beatles broke up…
Absolutely. It was exactly like this :P
Then who’s the Yoko in this one? Is it Marcus?
Will certainly miss the podcast while walking the dog :(
Bad times :(
That said, I look forward to what you do in the future, best of luck with it.
What a massive shame Paul, but it will be great for you to be able to devote more of your time to exciting new stuff…
At least there’s one good thing to come out of it, we won’t have to endure Lillingtons jokes anymore :-)
Congrats and all the best!

Paul,
Well done for taking the brave decision. No doubt many will be unhappy about it, but they’re getting it wrong – they should be happy about all the free content and advice they’ve had so far :)
It’s good to try something new and no matter how good a job you do with the podcast, there comes a time when you feel you’re covering old ground.
Also, no more bad jokes from Marcus. Now, who’s gonna miss that? ;)
I will miss your podcasts. They are inspiring and funny.
Look forward to your new experiments.
Thank you so much.
I think it is a sound idea you shouldn’t get boxed in by success just because it works otherwise you miss out on so many other opportunities.
I look forward to watching what you do next with interest.
Sad to hear the podcast will be ending, but I’m sure you’ll be back with something better! It’s good to keep moving forward – even when things are working they can always be improved by some fresh thinking.
Now I might have a chance to catch up on the podcast archive at last…
After randomly stumbling across the podcast in late 2008 I’ve been a regular listener.
I loved the breakfast show at the recent @media Web Directions conference (thanks for the special prize!), and a few of my colleagues were won over by the easy going, entertaining, and informative way in which the podcast was run.
All good things must come to an end (and it’s better to go out on top then trying to grasp on to past glories) but I think it will be difficult to match the easy listening nature of the podcast through only blog posts, facebook and the forums.
Cheers for all the great work, and I’m looking forward to an action packed last show (as well as the odd follow up podcast that I’m sure will follow)
It will not be only through blogging, forum and facebook. I am very much going to stick with audio/video. However, I want to try some live stuff, Q&A, webinars and the like. I will even be doing some more podcasts but not on a set schedule with the same format everytime.
It’s all good Paul.
Thanks SO MUCH man! I discovered you back in early 2006 and used your podcast as the basis of my Internet education. Your podcast has always exposed me to useful, cutting edge material. To this day I say something awesome in a group or to an audience and people are like, “!! Really? I didn’t know that. Where’d you hear about that?” Seriously. You are part of my “stay on the cutting edge” strategy!
Then in late 2007 I discovered Drupal and everything took off from their.
I look VERY forward to what comes next!

Paul :)
what a shame – but saying that – it i s absolutely amazing what you and Marcus have achieved with this podcast, going for so many years, delivering such great content, entertaining, insightful and fun. So much work and effort – teaching so many people so many things, just wonderful :)
(glad it paid off for you and headscape as well – a most deserved outcome)
It is sad that it had to end (even just for now) – but hopefully you will be back with something else ;)
Good luck and only the very best wishes with your new plans
& a HUGE THANK YOU :* for the podcast!
that’s bad news for me :(
it was the only podcast I regularly followed and looked forward to listening to the next episode. I’m really going to miss it but I’m sure you’re going to come up with something better.
cheers.
As a regular listerner to your podcast for the last two years I am disapointed to hear of its demise! However, as you say change is good and who knows what will come of it. Maybe a change to our routines is what us listerners need too!
Good luck in your next chapter….
Why not take it to the next level, TV? Radio show on BBC2?
You arrange it. ill do it :)
What a shame! I stumbled on your show around #185. Your content always goes into great depth and enjoyed every minute of it.
Just one question: if the weekly schedule is bogging you down, why not switch to monthly schedule like the Aussie Geek Podcast (shameless plug). That way you can still share your great knowledge and insights and not be hampered by tight schedules as much.
Anyways, thanks for the great contribution to knowledge sharing on the web!
It might well return as a monthly show. However for the next 6 months I want to experiment with lots of different approaches and formats. I don’t want to tie myself down to anything until I know what is going to work.
Right-O Paul.
I completely understand that you want to try something new.
Good luck on your new adventures.
We’ll following and supporting you all the way!
I for one will miss the Boagworld podcast, but if the time has come to move on to other, more exciting projects, then so be it.
I for one think that podcasting maybe has had its day. Video is the new Audio. =)
Thanks for all you’ve done so far!
Good for you. I’m sure you will continue sharing great content and knowledge in whatever format it may be. Looking forward to some webinars or screencasts!
best of luck
Paul
Stiff upper lip time :(
It’s been a fantastic few years and you and Marcus have built up a great podcast which I look forward to downloading each week. But as they say, all good things must come to an end and I’m sure the future will be brighter and better for you both. Looking forward to finding out what’s coming next!
Does this mean there will be a last episode special? I think a 24-hour podcast is called for ;)
I’m really sad about this! I listen to Boagworld regularly to keep me up to date with webby news. The format is ideal for me as I like to listen in the car on my commute.
Any chance Boagworlds can continue with different hosts?
What about Marcus :-o
I’ve listened to the podcast from really early on and its made my hour long commute into work an informative productive time, and there is very little out there that will fill this new void.
Are you doing a goodbye show/best of/whats happened whilst we have been on air/or something show?
Noooooo! :(
I am gutted to hear this as yours is the best industry podcast by a country mile. That said, thank you for the ~214 episodes you have given us. I fully appreciate the effort that must go in to researching and churning out regular high quality content, and am very grateful for the sterling work that you’ve done.
Still gutted though.
I think you’re freeing up as much time as possible to play Cataclysm later this year… :P (Wish I could do the same.)
Sad to hear it, Paul – but thank you so much for the podcast this far. It’s by far the best podcast in the industry – and I’m looking forward to see what you guys come up with.
And not to worry – I will stay on the RSS :)
Massive shame!
And I only just discovered the podcast a few months ago :(
Looking forward to more live webinar’s like last time though :)
Really loved the podcasts. Its a shame I only found out so late that all those beautiful conversations where just a click away from my ears. Luckily, I still have lots of old shows to watch, cheer!
Im looking forward to new content, jokes, rant and lots of inspirational stuff!
So long & thanks for all the fish :0)
Wow, thanks a lot Paul. You really are great.
I hope you don’t stop doing the audio boos as well, love those small tips and funny bits from you every now and again.
I will still be doing the audioboos. Absolutely. I will update the post to reflect this.
Hm… Is it a good idea? I mean. If the team behind BW stops and then starts up again in 2011 they have to start all over again.
If they in stead steps down the publications to every two weeks (fortnight?), you will be able to continue with the same listeners..
or:
Let someone else run the show while Lilington+boag+who else works and tests the new stuff they want. Then implement it…
Or is this really the end?
Hope to see you in 2011 though. Listened since way back… Not since 1 (but I have listened to the whole thing… Awesome . erhm, very nice as you say in England/UK)

We considered all of those options but we want to use the next six months to experiment with radically different formats and schedules. We didn’t want to be tied down at all.
Personally I don’t think we will be starting again. Because we are intending to put out content as frequently as before its not like we are going to get forgotten.
However, I could be wrong. That is where the risk comes in.
I’ve been a listener since episode 2 or 3 and I must say I never lost an episode. So it’s with great sadness that I see you go, but I’m sure that you’ll come back just like terminator to exterminate all bad coders and designers soon :D
Keep up the good work!
First, thanks for sticking with us for so long. This was a tough decision especially when there have been people like you who have been so loyal. However, ultimately I believe this will benefit you. We needed to do something fresh and this period of time gives us the opportunity to experiment and discover what would work best.
But don’t worry… we’ll be back :)
So sad for us, so exciting for you.
We podcasteers will support you forever, Paul – you and your weirdly accented friends.
Best wishes for all your adventures, looking forward to looking on.
I think its bloody brilliant that you’re taking the leap to do something new.
So many people just stick with what they know and never move on. It take guts and its a real inspiration for all of us who sit on the fence of what we know and dare not step foot into the scary new places!
I look forward to seeing what you’re getting up to next. Bravo!
It’s sad to see the show end (for now), but hey. It was your show, you had no obligation to keep it going just for us, and you churned out a fantastic amount of great quality content.
If you feel it’s time to do something different with it, I think you’re well within your rights to give it a try. I’m curious to see what direction you’ll take now…
Oh well will be missed for sure!!
My first podcast with you guys was I think #13 when you went through the accessibility guidelines. But I still stayed with you!!
You took me out of the fad of flash menus… inspired me to do css things. Made me think about DOM… Now have a +AU$3m website! But kept thinking how to advantage disabled users thanks to your mentioning…
As Tom Merrit said the other day on the last cnet; “Nothing is forever”.
Thanks for the times and banter.
lol
Zane
I’ma huge fan of the podcast, so this is a little disappointing! BUT, I know you probably come back with something even better! I just wanted to say good luck and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
Paul – thanks for a wonderful podcast I’ve enjoyed listening to since 2007. For all of 2008 I worked out of my home office – listening to you and Marcus chattering away each week made me feel like I still had co-workers and really helped with the isolation you can sometimes feel when working alone. Can’t wait to see what you’ll be up to next!
(typed from iPhone while on the go, please excuse typos)
Paul,
My name is Aaron Alfred, and I have listened to your show since episode 1. Let me say that you and your team have helped me get through depressing times in my life where I felt there was no hope left. Thank you for allowing me to feel included on a weekly basis. Going forward, I hope you find your happiness. I look forward to hearing you, as blogs still cannot convey tone as tone.
Speaking tone, about episode 175 onwards I really began to as if the production of the podcast was more of a chore rather than a blessing. I’m sure you knew this too. Adding new speaking talents to the for at did work for some time, but did not excuse the fact that show was naturally growing stale.
“Video killed the radio star”. Why reinvent the wheel? I believe maintaining a YouTube channel will allow you to reach greater targets and allow us all to appreciate you and yours.
Whatever you decide I will do my best to join in.
You are a good man. Take care,
Aaron Alfred

you should move on to screencasts and then add some value with video whilst still enabling me to listen to the narration whilst working!
As a dad of 2 in a full time job and doing freelance on the side I can totally empathise lol I always wondered how you all did it ! Thanks for all the hard work and help and all the best for what the future holds :0)
I’m sorry to hear the podcast is going. It has been a tremendous inspiration. Although on the plus side it gives me a chance to finally catch up on all the episodes.
Good on you Paul,
Not to say I won’t miss the show (maybe not the transcribing :) ), but look forward to whatever you do.
As always sure the community will be behind you.
Have fun experimenting.
Shaun
I’ve been listening since ep.3 or 4, so I’ll keep listening/watching for my fix. lol Thank you, Marcus, & all of Headscape for the education & joy you’ve given us. Looking forward to more of the same!
It must have been a tough decision, but I hope it’s the right one. I really appreciate all the great work you’ve put into the podcast, Paul, and I am truly excited to hear what will come up next. Good luck and talk to you soon ;-)
We’ve all been rubbing our hands and planning new stuff eagerly at BWHQ so I sincerely hope you don’t think you’ve got rid of any of us yet.
I, for one, have too many rants to put out to the wider world. Some of them are even relevant.
Relly
Sorry to see you go, especially because it was a great way of making my every day home-work-home drive both entertaining and educational.
Something I will not be able to do with video content :(
Anyhow, all the best wishes…
I am going to try and post as much of what I do as audio content so my existing listeners dont miss out.
Nooooo! I only just found you guys. All that wasted time looking for a podcast that stood out from the usual mix of rants, ill informed opinion pieces, self promotion, in-jokes, and nonsensical geekery. Oh. Hang on…
Seriously though, best of luck with the new endeavors. The show always reminded me of TFI Friday a bit, only on the web – so make sure you don’t come back as OFI Sunday!
While I will miss the podcast a lot – it’s very convenient when im on the road, and always gets me keen to dive into my dev work as soon as im near a computer again – it’s a really brave decision.
So all selfishness on my part aside, congratulations on making such a tough decision and I’m sure everyone will be looking forward to what comes next from Boagworld. I know I will be!
As far as suggestions go, it would be great to have an option to download audio for any video related ‘casts’ in the future, to listen to on the go but also keep the file size down for us nations that are behind the times of internet infrastructure (Australia).
Thanks to the whole Boagworld team for all of the shows that I have enjoyed over the years.
Any chance Marcus can continue posting weekly jokes, while you figure out your own stuff?
Would certainly lessen the pressure when (if) you come back in 2011 :)
I’ve loved the show since 2006. One of the highlights for me was the 200th live show/mini-conference. Another was the live consultancy you did – you can see what I’m hoping for.
I can’t thank you enough for what you have given over the years.
Dang! Does that mean no more of Marcus’ jokes?! :P
While Im going to miss the podcast I agree sometimes you just need to make a change. I look forward to your tweets and the audioboo’s To be honest I like those a little better, short little 5 minute tips. But can I request that Marcus start a weekly Joke audioboo. Best of luck you Paul and Marcus, This isnt goodbye, we will just hear a little less of you
Although I’m very curious what your new freedom will bring I must say I’m disappointed. Whatever you did with social media so far was fun but I think it was being held together because of the podcast. This was the glue, so to say. At least for me.
Also interesting you saying the podcast feels restrictive. Since you own the podcast. You can do whatever you want with the format, or has it reached a point where you can’t. If so why?
I must say I disagree with Steve above. For me the audioboos are in no way a replacement for the podcast for the lack the depth.
I know this comment sounds negative for something so very positive you’ve given the design community. For free! I’m really curious about new stuff but I will surely miss the podcast.
The podcast is restrictive as it currently stands because it has to go out every week and has to be audio. It does not allow me to experiment with video, live screencasts or other alternative ways of presenting information. It is also restrictive because it eats up so much time.
Originally we talked about moving the show to monthly. We could still do that. We could do lots of things but I want 6 months to experiment before settling on something new. Sure, I might loose some followers over that period but at the end of the day it is to produce a better product at the end of it.
Thank for explaining. I also listened to your audioboo about this post today. I can understand you need to explore new grounds. I think it’s always interesting to reflect your ideas against mine so whatever you do I’ll check it out.
My daily gym session will miss the podcast but I’ll still be able to recommend your blog to my students :-) Brave decision, good luck and I’ll look fwd to whatever your RSS feeds bring me…
yeah, go for it Paul. I’ll look forward to seeing/hearing those new ideas.
Well Paul, it has been a fun journey I’m sure. Best to you in your new ventures.
Thanks, for the many years of Boagworld.
You make it sound like you will never hear from me again!
Ha! I seriously doubt it. I don’t think anyone could keep you quiet. You might end up loosing your ego or something tragic.
But seriously. Really glad you are investigating new ideas. I know you already tried doing this with Boagworld a while back. Just wanted to thank for you the great work you have done so far, I’m sure the new stuff will be even better.
It’s hard to say what you want when the tone has been the same for so long. People might send you hate mail or something.
find your new voice man. I’m listening :D
Gutted!
OH NO!!!!
I’m devastated! I’ve been a listener since day one. I listened for over a year before I even started trying my hand at web design… how sad is that!!
Thanks for all the brilliant content over the years – and I’ll really miss you both till you’re back with something else.
Oh…I can’t breathe….;)
Seriously — good luck, but this was ( “was” is the worst word for today;(() the best podcast ever. Ever! I loved the content and the funny silly talk that you guys did.
I hope to SEE you instead: webinars and videos sound fantastic!
It is hard to say goodbye to the podcast though.
Thank you for all the knowledge!
Marta
Ok, I took a looong breath and –> YES! I can’t wait to see what’s coming! ;))
Count me on the “Devastated” side of things. Love the podcast, but I’m TOTALLY with you on doing something new – change it up. We all know that whatever you do will be great, and I’ll keep following along. Thanks for the great ride. ONWARD!
On the upside: no more Marcus jokes!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!
Gutted, but will let you off seeing as there will be a next chapter.
Live ‘n on the web – can you record that so it can remain flexible for me when walking the dog :-)
Many thanks for your inspirational content. You have encouraged, enabled and equiped me to become self employed.
I never liked it anyway.
I predicted this when Paul started posting the “short” version of the podcast. I figured people were getting tired of the long form version, and it wasn’t for nothing. People have changed. Viewing/listening habits are not what they were in 2005. Good luck with the new projects guys.
Having been a listener from almost the being, this is certainly sad news. Could you do a podcast, an update of sorts on what you’re doing, just something lighthearted like once a month or so ? Or just telling how this new project is going ? That might be an idea. Not the restraints of having to do one each week, but still something for us to listen to :).
Bad times :( I’ve been enjoying the show since 2006 and I can’t thank you enough Paul and Marcus for the information and entertainment you provide. I would hate to see it go. I think Paul, if you’re not sure what you are going to do with this extra time, I would propose to you that your chaning for change’s sake, which is obviously pointless.
But like I say Ive been getting so much out of each show for so long, so as the quote goes; “So long, and thanks for all the fish”
My initial reaction was a rather selfish disappointment at the loss of a weekly dose of webdesign sense. However you guys have been so dominant in this section of the podcasting arena for such a long time that perhaps the change will not only offer you the opportunity to try new things but open up the space for those other emerging podcasts to really hone their format.
Looking forward to what comes next.
Felicity
Going out while you are on top is always going to disappoint people but it is so much better than dragging things out until the inevitable decline (*cough* Red Dwarf…).
Thank you so much for all you have done over the last few years on the podcast and hope all goes well for you, Marcus and Headscape in the future.
Dan
thanks for this fantastic podcast and great blog posts. I am happy that you are keeping you audioboos and twitter so we can follow you on your up and comming projects.
what ever you do, plz include Markus in it, as you two sound great together
a while back i came across a video where you talk about how not to judge people, then you made that video on how disappointed you were with some of the comments made in the chat room at the 200th boagworld podcast:
in both these videos (and not only) you facial expression backed up you point fantastically. So i think (im sure is nothing you have not heard before) you are a really good motivational speaker – so i would say it would be fantastic if you explore the video format furthermore.
Have fun experimenting! Really looking forward to more Headscape / Boagworld innovations.
Hi Paul,
I’ve been listening to the show since the beginning and I just wanted to thank you so much for all the entertainment and information that you have provided to all of us over the years. The show sort of happened at the same point as I entered the industry so we sort of “grew up” together. I look forward to seeing what you do next and I will be tuning in via the blog, Twitter etc for my regular hit of inspiration from you, as always. All the best for the future and hope the next 6 months bring what you are looking for.
Cheers,
Tony
I feel really gutted. I really do find your podcast a great source of knowledge, especially as I don’t have the luxery of having people around me in the industry (coders or designers) and neither do I attend meet-ups, mainly because there aren’t any in my area, being Southampton.
I was so inspired by Boag World that I even started my own podcast Ge3k, still only 1 show in though. The great thing about your podcast is being able to catch up on the latest news and trends whilst I’m working on my start-up The DJ Book.
I supose with very little good quality choice out there I’ll be listening to net@night again. It is a real shame Paul, but best of luck any way.
Matt Auckland
Hi Paul,
it must have been a tough decision, your podcast was too inspiring and popular.
I wish you best of luck with your next projects and i know you will do something special again.
Thank you for all your help.
Wow this is quite shocking news! Such a tough, gutsy call to make when to many it seems like the podcast is right at the top of its game.
However, I feel it’s not entirely unexpected. The podcast has become very fractious for me. I was only listening to the bits that really interested me and even then I would probably just read the post.
You’ve all done an excellent job with the show. I was really pleased to be a part of it in some small way and I hope that whatever form the return of Boagworld takes, it will be as inclusive of its audience as its previous incarnation.
I salute you all with a giant foam hand
Really sorry to hear that the podcast is stopping… but wish you all the best for your future projects.
I’ve listened to the show since the first episode. It’s taken me from web design newbie to web professional in what seems like 5 short years. I’ve found it to be a great way of keeping up to date in new technologies and thinking.
Thanks for all the hard work and effort the entire team has put into this… you will all be missed… especially the banter between Paul and Marcus…
sadface
I could see it coming, everything was starting to seem settled, time to change it up. Still, now I will actually have to do some work to keep up to date.
I’m sad to hear that the podcast is going off the air for now, especially with Summer beginning and more time on my hands but I’m excited to see what new innovations you come up with for the show.
Thanks for the Fantastic Podcast! Thank you Paul, Marcus, Ryan, Anna, and recently Relly! For producing such a great show and working so hard each week! I’ll miss the show and the Jokes!
- Nick
It’s good to hear you will continue Paul, despite it being such an interesting time for web design. What we will all miss is Marcus and his opinions on matters of design business.. I thought your last podcast was a great example of this – it sharpened the overall premise.
Regards
Hi Paul, in someways I can understand your decision. However, in someways it’s slightly disappointing. I personally feel that the podcast needs to be broadened out with more individuals brought in to present on a weekly basis with you still being there but with less control connected to the weekly podcast. This would give you the space and time to try out different things connected to broadcasting.
I personally feel that there is still a real need for a quality podcast like Boagworld. However, it does need some new blood. This is not a criticism of you or Marcus both you have done a great job. However it just a fact of life that if you keep doing something for long enough it can become confining.
I just personally want to take this opportunely in thanking you and Marcus for the shows. I have on always listen and looked forward to them.I personally have been listening to them for over three years.
It though listening to your podcast that encouraged me to turn a hobby into a real business. I had some frustrating and dark moments running my business over the past couple of years but listening to your podcast has always reminded me why I wanted to be a web designer and developer.
Take care
Jonathan
All good things must come to an end.
Just want to say a big thank you for the podcast, not only to Paul and Marcus, but everyone who has been interviewed etc and made it so fantastic. I will truly miss it.
I look forward to the future boagworld ventures.
How am I going to cope without Marcus’s joke?
On a less important note, how am I going to keep up with web news?
Good luck for the future!
Best of luck Paul (and Marcus) with the new direction, whatever it may be, but I’ll really miss the podcast.
The biggest shame is that it’s one of only 2 web design podcasts that I listen too (the other being the Sitepoint one). I haven’t found another web design podcast of the same quality. Hopefully more will rise up, but I’ll miss Boagworld.
Thank you so much for your shows so far. I hope Marcus has a role in the new format too, he is funny :) You two are a great couple, very entertaining. And I always learned a lot listening to your podcast.
I’m looking forward to the new format of the show! No doubt it’ll be great!
Stan
I discovered Boagworld last spring, while taking maternity leave. I endulged about 5 shows a day and became addicted, had fun and stayed up to date with my job. I have not missed an episode since and I am not sure how I will survive Fridays now ;)
Best of luck to you and Marcus and your new projects!!
I am looking forward to seeing what’s next.
Paul – you’re a national treasure.
Marcus – it’s time to reform Breathe.
Thanks to you both for the education and fun over the years – it’s been a real blast!
Thanks for all of the hard work and great content you guys have put out. Good luck with your new projects!
Oh, woe is me. What will I do without Marcus’ dulcet tones? First SA lose to Uruguay, then Mexico beat France, today, no more Boagworld. Woe indeed.
Oh man – thru the podcast you’ve inspired this fellow Wurzel to go it alone, learn so much and generally feel part of a community that I never knew existed. Good luck with whatever you do in the future, Paul, I’ll miss yr to-ing and fro-ing with Marcus a lot…
Thanks for the memories :)
Rob
just really started listening after FOWD, but have been digging through the archives. Totally think you’re making the right decision and look forward to the new things in the future!
+1 on Marcus’ weekly audioboo jokes lol
Wow! was just taking a Facebook break and found your comment there…well, I started listening last year, and I really appreciate all the hard work your team has done. It’s a fantastic series.
I’m sorry you’ll be going, but I’m also really glad that you’ll be doing something that excites you: chances are it will excite your community as well.
And I also have to say thank you for cluing me in to the modern name for what I have been doing for years: Digital Content Strategist.
all the best
Dislike :( I have been listening to Boagworld every week for the entirety of my time in the industry and without it there will be a massive hole in not just my news intake but my feeling of community around freelancing.
@Prydie
I am seriously very upset about this. Good luck though mate.
