Want to make a noise on our podcast?
You've heard the iPM podcast of course. Everyone's listening. Who would miss Charlotte Green's impersonation of Alan "Fluff" Freeman last week?
As a regular podcaster, you'll know that it begins with me saying: "Hello. You're about to listen to a download from the BBC." Then there's a bit of silence. Then I say: "Welcome to iPM..."
We'd like you to fill the silence. We filled it last week with a firework...but we're sure you can do better.
Send your idea or the sound itself (if you're technically minded) to: ipm@bbc.co.uk

Well I listened to the podcast last night. Or maybe I "listened again" (is there a difference? - I'm a bit hazy about all this magic stuff to be honest.) Anyway, I waited ages after clicking a few buttons, then heard Saturday's programme. Loved Charlotte's Top of the Pops.
But my favourite bit was the final few seconds with the "Do you think we should have scripted this?" stream of consciousness from Chris, Jennifer and Eddie. Honestly, J Ross and R Brand couldn't have done better!
We'll have to see what we can do about some sounds for the programme. I'll get my people on to it straightaway...

How about sending a sound associated with what people are doing at 5:45am?
Snoring? Increasingly desperate thumping and groping for the snooze button on the radio-alarm?
In my case it would probably be "Oof!" as the cat jumps on to the bed (or more accurately, my stomach).

Hi Annasee - we keep on missing each other don't we? -- I know you aren't on Facebook but don't forget the cam ;-?
Now just to explain the difference between 'listen again' and the 'download'
aka - podcast.
The listen again facility is hard to save - and literally chopped from Radio 4's output.
The podcast is downloadable - so you can save it to a portable medium such as an ipod, mobile phone etc....
I haven't a clue why there is a gap between Eddie announcing that it's a podcast - and why there needs to be a gap to fill - apart from that Eddie is involved and what better reason therefore to involve a few saddo's like myself to play with soundfiles and record snoring or other effects?
These noises won't be transmitted on air - but will be available to the millions that subscribe to ipm.
we have to remember that it's the BBC - and it's (ahem) what we do.
I like ipm though - especially the presentation style Eddie adopts - and Jennifers lovely soft Scottish accent.

Hi Jonnie! I do try the cam occasionally but there's never anyone there... not even Dolly or Harry.
Thanks for the explanation (she says quickly, like she understood it all perfectly). I hope you have sent in some interesting noises! Just had GM over this afternoon - she and mpb were playing duets on their violins - made me think of your family! They've done a special noise item for ipm which SO is sending in as I write. We thought it was funny but obviously we could be wrong...
Wanted to ask you about gilding too - wasn't Simon gilding some chairs recently? SO has decided it might be his mission in life to learn the art.
I could go on for ages, but I suppose this is MEANT to be a public forum. Good job no-one reads it except us, isn't it?

But as you've now discovered Anna - not always the case. ;-)
