Welcome to Rocket

We are excited to announce today that Relay FM is going to be the home of a brand new show named Rocket.

Rocket is hosted by Brianna Wu, Christina Warren and Simone De Rochefort and will feature the best discussion in tech, gaming, culture and so much more.

Once you listen to episode one, you'll hear just how awesome these three women are as the conversation spans numerous topics including 3D-printed cars, the Ant Man trailer and being proposed to over social media.

We are so thrilled and honored that Rocket is going to be a part of the network. It's kicking off what's going to be a great year for Relay FM.

141 episodes

This morning, with Virtual #20, we've published 141 episodes under the Relay FM banner.

It's hard to believe that we launched just 20 weeks ago.

Our first two quarters were full of surprises. In that short time, we were heavily featured in the iTunes Store and most third-party apps. We added a handful of new shows, shipped countless stickers and have gotten to know so many new people online. Oh, and Myke quit his job.

Without our listeners, Relay FM wouldn't be the success it is today. We'd like to thank you for downloading the shows, reviewing them in iTunes, sharing them with friends and being all-around awesome.

In the coming weeks and months, we'll be unveiling some new projects, with new people. We believe a diversity in content and hosts is needed in podcasting, and we have some really great things to share soon.

Until then, here's to 2015.

The Relay FM store is open for business

To be honest, we thought about calling our store the Merch Table, after the spot bands sell shirts during concerts, but we're just not that cool.

Starting today, you can order Relay FM stickers and shirts.

We're thrilled to be working with Nock Co on the logistics end of this. The shirts are printed in Atlanta, GA, and all of the merchandise is being shipped from their headquarters.

We hope you enjoy the merchandise. We have plans for more; if there's something you'd like to see in the store, let us know!

Please note that orders placed this week will ship out after Thanksgiving.

Netscape Navigator Follow-up

Listener Maik wrote in about a joke Federico made on Connected Ep 12 about Netscape Navigator:

He told the audience to point their "Netscape Navigator" to the shownotes URL, so here's how this actually looks on Netscape Navigator 4.07, which has no idea what CSS is. I went into my cellar where my collection of old Unix machines sits, fired up the SGI Indigo2 running IRIX 6.5, made a few screenshots and exported the page to Postscript (and then converted that to PDF later). So, here you go :-)

It's amazing how far the Internet has come.

All Bets Are Off

The Bionic podcast on 5by5 started out life as a show about 'technology and media ecosystems', hosted by Matt Alexander and Myke Hurley.

However at Episode 51, things took a bit of a turn. After this point Matt and Myke let everything go and started to create a show they seemed destined to make.

Bionic became a podcast with a devoted audience of people who helped create some rather peculiar things, that all added up to something rather beloved.

However, as Matt's business grew and Myke started to work on new plans of his own, it became harder to make time for the show. So it therefore came to an end.

However, Matt and Myke missed each other too much. So they're back!

Bonanza! will be a (most likely) monthly cavalcade of incredible-ness from your favourite British podcast duo.

The first episode will be recorded live on November 4th after Matt joins Myke on Inquisitive. The show will be available to download afterwards.

Get your special trousers ready. It's time to tear them away.

With podcasts covering technology and creativity, Relay brings together some of the most influential and unique voices on the internet to create powerful content each and every week.
