Some of you keep up with my Twitter account, I know, and on Friday evening I twittered that I was in the mood to go out for a nice dinner and a drink. Monday, here I am blogging that, indeed, I did get out for a nice meal and a glass of wine with Ryan, and boy, did I need it! I was planning to see a French comedy playing across the street afterwards, but we were feeling chill, so we watched Tony Takitani on DVD instead. What a great film. Of course, with the story based on Haruki Murakami and a sound track by Ryuichi Sakamoto, I knew it had to be good. Here, let me share a song from the movie with ya’ll…
Julien Smith and I were reunited this week for another off-the-cuff conversation via Skype. We chat about anything and everything including the effects of podcast celebrity, avoiding parenthood, Julien’s Listen To Your Kids podcast, Homeless Nation, my Chillin’ with Anji Bee vidcast, podcast conferences and fanboy-dom, women podcasters, the podcast hype game, the importance of change, and more. I’m numbering this episode 49, just FYI…
Warning:Julien has a potty-mouth. Warning 2:This episode is an hour long.
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!

"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry of 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 of 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."
-- 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 of Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Anji Bee, a musician and former radio DJ, gives "stage" to artists who might not otherwise be discovered. Bee's podcast exposes me to independent artists I've never heard of, and subscribing to it eliminates the need to forage for new music."
- La Shawn Barber's Corner
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith of 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 of 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."
-- 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
