Last month when the rug rats were snug in their beds I had the pleasure of chatting via Skype with the Ed Tech Crew lads Darrel Branson & Tony Richards for their podcast.

We had a great chat and covered all sorts of stuff including the growth & nature of my website, personal learning goals, creative process and a few pieces of software :-)

Feel free to download the podcast from The Ed Tech Crew website and leave a few thoughts like this kind listener.
