Memorialising the TIDE Podcast
This post is to memorialise and provide an archive for Today In Digital Education (TIDE), a podcast I recorded with my good friend Dai Barnes between 2015 and 2019. It was the second podcast I co-hosted with him, the first being EdTechRoundUp from 2007 to 2011.
- Mirror of tidepodcast.org (episodes 60-120)
- Archive of tidepodcast.org (episodes 60-120)
- Archive of media files (all episodes except 26 and 37)
- Torrent of media files (all episodes except 26 and 37)
Note: episodes 26 and 37 have somehow been lost to the sands of time. If you have a copy of either audio file, could you let me know?
Dai sadly passed away suddenly in his sleep in early August 2019. In the eulogy I gave for Dai at Oundle School, I quoted Terry Pratchett as saying that “No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away.” I still miss Dai and know his ripples continue on through many of us.
Each year, when the domain name registration comes around for tidepodcast.org, I haven’t been able to face the admin that would be involved in turning off the automatic renewal: tidying up the media files, creating a mirror of the site, and writing a post like this.
Today, now that it’s been over five years, I’ve felt able to do it. Dai, of course, ever the pragmatist, would have teased me in a good-natured way and told me to get on with it.
Well Mr Barnes, it’s done. And, yes, I shed a tear listening to your cover of The Tide Is High which introduced each episode, including the last one.
