Hello,

A timely podcast is ready and waiting for you to download. Now of course you can listen back right here are we are still archiving the shows on the podcast page. If there was a link or item you missed on the podcast, you can find more information below.

To begin, First up, Chris Vallance and I went to the Tweetminster event in London. Should MPs be Twittering in the chambers? Can social networking make politics more cohesive?

The Save Bletchley Park campaign continues. A comedy review was arranged to raise funds and awareness. Dr Sue Black tells us why it is important and what needs to be done.

You may have heard that the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall has been marked. 20 years ago many of us watched in awe as the wall was slowly dismantled. That was traditional media in 1989, to mark the anniversary, new media tools have been leading in lighter faster coverage. Alex Wood tells us about the The Berlin Project.

That's all for this week, but in the mean time, if you see something wonderful in the world of blogs, podcasts and more, let me know by dropping an email to podsandblogs at bbc dot co dot uk

The podcast is ready to run. It's full of interesting online antics as usual. If there is a link or a name you missed in the podcast, you can always check back here where we have all the links.

First up I had a chat with Nick Wadham-Smith is the deputy director of Counterpoint, the think tank of the British Council. They've been working on fresh methods of communication since 1934. Some of the latest work includes podcasting and blogging and you can also get involved.

More collaborative work follows. Tan Siok Siok is a film maker from Singapore. She has been travelling around picking up leads and making connections for her "Twittamentary" - that's a documentary about and using Twitter. She explained the benefits and strengths to this form of documentary making.

Mario takes over the studio.

Last but not least, Charles Martinet very kindly dropped into the studio. Though you might not immediately recognise the name, you are bound to know the voice. Charles voices all the characters for Nintendo's Mario games. He talks about his life entwined with that of some of gaming's most successful characters.

That's all for this week, as usual I'll be rounding up more for the next edition. So, if you have seen a blog or heard a podcast that you think we should know about, drop me a line at podsandblogs -at- bbc.co.uk I'd love to hear from you. Or you can follow us on Twitter.

The BBC has a new blog sign-in called BBC iD. If you add a comment from now on you'll be prompted to upgrade your account(s). You only have to do it once and it should be quick.

One note of caution though: if you've got multiple BBC accounts, you'll only be able to upgrade one of them to BBC iD using your preferred username and email address.

If you have any questions or need a hand, you can get help over at the BBC Internet blog
