Back to School

Kieran goes back to school this week and in between setting assignments for his new cohort we manage to discuss Keir’s recent trip to Brighton for the rather good Reasons to be Creative event, a tool for getting your clients content in order, speed tips, Ken and Ryu and end with a discussion on the dream startup team.

Back behind the Yeti&#8217;s

Back from our travels we retrun behind the Yeti’s to discuss everything from the hunt for the perfect email app to the sartorial elegance of modern tech CEO’s. This episode also features a rather spledid retreat venue only four hours from Spokane.

Hacker not Cracker

We are back once again (albeit a few days weeks late). Illness, travel and house moves put things on hold but we’ll be back in full force in the run up to the holiday season. This week we welcome in our new logo courtesy of Sean Johnson and pick out four links and topical stories we found of interest over the last few weeks.

Moving Away from the Code Face

Like a phoenix from the flames, we have risen. Our year long retreat for slightly overweight tech men from the South West of England is officially over. We’ve eaten the kale, cleansed ourselves, got the glow and are now itching to get back behind the mics. It’s out with the Yeti’s and in with a spanking new steed for Kieran and a less than great “Madonna” mic for Keir.

In this week’s episode, we discuss where on earth we’ve been for the last 13 months, chat about how we’ve moved away from the code face and share experiences of a life away from daily development.

Finally, we announce the winner of the longest competition in Back to Front Show history!

It’s good to be back.

Back Stories with Marc Thiele

Welcome to Back Stories — a new series of one on one interviews hosted by Keir Whitaker (one-half of the team behind The Back to Front Show).

Each episode, unlike the usual show, will come in at 30 minutes and will attempt to delve into the interesting lives of people working in the web, design, tech, publishing, and creative industries.

In this first episode, Keir chats with Marc Thiele — long-time friend and the man behind the Beyond Tellerrand series of web conferences. There’s plenty of ground covered including the early 8 bit days, Flash, events, and more.
