Another loopy episode reflecting on the kindness of fans, the tininess of the podosphere, and the evilness of cats on heaters. I also share a photo of one of the viewers; could it be you?
I should have posted this sooner, but better late than never! On November 14th, David McCandless wrote a glowing review of The Chillcast with Anji Bee for RadioTimes ongoing feature, The Good Podcast Guide. It reads, in part:
Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside - it all adds up to an essential weekly download.
Also highlighted in this particular episode of the guide are Ricky Gervais (aka “The Podfather” - ha!), BBC Radio’s Mark Kermode, and the UK Wine Show. Not bad company to keep, I suppose.
Perk up your holiday work week with this eclectic poppy mix of rock, electro, and hip hop with a bittersweet twist. Introducing a few new artists to the show, as well as bringing a few back for another round!
For you holiday party listening pleasure, I’ve put together a special cocktail party DJ mix. Get ready for 90 minutes of pure, jazzy, Chillcast goodness selected especially for your swanky soirees! I held off from commenting in-between tracks, but did a little intro and outro. Should work well for intimate get togethers with friends, family, or that special someone… So turn somebody onto The Chillcast this holiday season!

Ryan and Anji update you in the saga of Ryan’s new Mac Mini and how it affects progress on Lovespirals’ current recording sessions, reminisce about sneaking into NAMM, share Ryan’s “second choice” theory, make a big podcast announcement, and answer listener email, as Anji tries not to cough into the mic.

"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry, Daily Source Code
"Anji's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet voice... I remember the first time I ever heard her, way back in the day, I said she could read me a Chinese menu or the phone book and I would be all happy!"
-- C.C. Chapman, Accident Hash
"Anji's voice wouldn't be out of place in a smoky jazz or blues bar somewhere down in a dimly lit cellar. Sultry with a voice like syrupy silky satin with a marshmallow middle and a honey topping."
-- Podcast Junky UK, Most Recognizable Voices in Podcasting, Sept. 2007
"Cosiness abounds as the silken voiced Anji Bee - lead singer of chillout band Lovespirals - pours a cocktail of mellow dance music. Mmm..."
-- Radio Times, July 2007
"If you're looking for a different brand of 'grown and sexy' in the podcast world, check out Anji Bee. This young lady is bringing it - from production, to her voice, to the music selection - she is doing her thazizzle!"
-- Fave Nightmare, Cyberspace Soul Pick, Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith, In Over Your Head
"I just love the tunes Anji Bee selects and her comments on them. I no longer have to search for music to be creative; I just susbcribe to The Chillcast."
-- Karen, Rumor Girls
"Like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside, it all adds up to an essential weekly download."
-- David McCandless, Good Podcast Guide, Nov 2006
"If you're in the mood for chillout music , this should be your first stop. Her voice alone is the perfect complement for a long drive or any escape from the hectic rush of everday life. You're gonna love it."
-- DJ Come of Age, Nov 2007
