New mgsPodcast COMING SOON!

Thanks to all the support from readers of this week's Guardian newspaper article, Podcasts Offer the Audience Pupils Crave, featuring all the mgsPodcasters.

We are currently getting back into the swing of school and will bring an mgsPodcast (number SIX) very soon. Stay tuned...

Apple Malaysia interested in the mgsPodcast

For some unknown reason Apple, the people who make the computers on which we produce the podcasts, have published news of the pupils' achievements on their Malaysian News site.

If you have any idea how or why, do let us know!

mgsPodcast on BBC Newsround

The mgsPodcasters featured on Thursday's BBC Newsround programme, and three were chosen to be the 'Press Pack', giving the report to camera. The crew were in the school for THREE hours filming the slot, which lasted around 2 minutes in the final cut. The press pack report can be seen on the Newsround Press Pack site.

Also featured were some of the pupils who have been preparing, in French, to create their own tourist podcasts to help visitors to Musselburgh find their way around.

It was disappointing for some pupils, though, who didn't get on the telly this time. Never mind. There will be TWO podcasts this week, including one from the Gig on the Grass.

MacWorld and Google news

If you had your eye on Google news and MacWorld today you will have seen that mgsPodcast's NSNM Award has grabbed some headlines:

mgsPodcast hits the headlines

Have you seen or heard the mgsPodcast on the news recently?

We featured on last Friday night's Arts Show on BBC Radio Scotland - a NINE minute special featuring Hassan, Amy, Alison and Nicole. It showed people how to podcast as well as featuring some original backing music by Jamie L, or Beatmaster J as he is now known!

We have also featured in the past month in the Times Educational Supplement, the Sunday Express (double-page spread) and are going to perhaps feature in the Guardian and on the TV. Watch this space.

Well done to all the pupil bloggers and podcasters at MGS.
