In the new media playground it's not about being exclusive or about competition with other providers, there's room for all of us as more and more people turn away from traditional media to get their content from independent providers.

Suffolk 'n' Cool is happy to collaborate with other shows by linking up directly and through a few loose networks of producers.

The Association of Music Podcasting (AMP)

Most of the finest independent music podcasts are AMP members - check them out here on the site (click away on any of the direct links in the sidebar) or visit AMP at musicpodcasting.org


Podshow from the people who made the whole podcasting revolution happen, probably most comprehensive podcatcher and a whole load more. You can build your own virtual radio station, selecting from a variety of shows to suit your personal listening needs then have them play out whenever you like.

Blubrry (pronounced blue berry not blubbery!) is a service for podcasters and listeners which you might be interested in.
You can check out Suffolk 'n' Cool's presence on each by clicking these links:

We've even got our own network - the Suffolk 'n' Cool Music Network on MySpace where all the people that make the music happen can interact. Venues, labels, artists, promoters, other networks, all have a place there - wherever in the world they are based. See the SnC on Myspace page for details and links.

rtgreenContact the show ltgreen
Don't forget, you can contact the show (well, me really) on any topic at all by email or audio file to: suffolkandcool@gmail.com
There is also a facility for you to have a direct connection with the show and, if I'm honest, probably to feature on it too! On the shownotes page, the MyChingo button will bring up a really easy to use web-based audio recorder through which you can make audio comments. It's free to use and dead easy:

1. Connect a microphone (or use your built in mic if you have one) and record an audio comment for the show. Click on the MyChingo link on the Shownotes page and you'll be presented with a recorder.

2. Record your audio comment for the show (you can record uo to two minutes and preview/re-record until you're happy with it).

3. Use the text message box to tell me who you are and where you are from and send. It's that simple. Go on, give it a try! Even just to let me know where you are listening from.

You could try something like:

"Hi this is [your name] listening to Suffolk and Cool in sunny / cold / windy / beautiful downtown / rural [wherever you are]."


Actually, it's the Suffolk 'n' Cool people that make the show what it is. Wherever in the world you are and whether by subscribing to the show, letting us play your music, taking part in a feature or just visiting the site it's YOU that makes the show happen.

Which just goes to show - you really are Suffolk 'n' Cool.
