Hack All The Spaces

Kate and Dominic share a mike again in the Nottingham Hackspace, talk about Leeds' potential new space, the Hackables podcast, the A-Z of Hackspaces, and pick a winner for the HackAllTheSpaces Twitter contest!

The audio's a bit weird on this thanks to Kate not realising she was recording via her laptop rather than her headset, but it's all good as we discuss the cost of running a hackspace, upcoming events, and a new challenger has entered the ring!

Plus, we're starting a fund for Kate to take the seaside air, because that sexy tuberculosis is no longer sexy.

This week, we're talking about our new website (you can see it because you're on it), what you can get up to in Manchester with HacMan, the latest and greatest from FizzPop in Birmingham, giant balls at Nottingham Hackspace (made of snow, thank you), the Derby Mini-Maker Faire, and what it takes to kick someone out of your hackspace.

Plus introducing Charles Yarnold's of Electric Laboratory with Techie Talk, and big news for the Hack All The Spaces podcast (and maybe Bristol Hackspace)!

Kate & Dominic talk about hackspaces, including:

Hackerspaces as providers of accreditation, with an excerpt from The Amp Hour Episode 75, by the kind permission of Chris Gammell, more Noisebridge madness, another installment of How Far to Hitchin, and the reasons why London Hackspace should take up the offer of a milk float.

Kate & Dominic bring you the first Hack All The Spaces podcast of 2012, including talking about Electromagnetic Fields, the major summer hacker event in the UK, lock picking at the Nottingham Hackspace, getting a fabric table at the London Hackspace, fund-raising at Leeds Hackspace, GumboLabs New Orleans, the Noisebridge $30Gate, and Dominic's new regular feature, How Far To Hitchin.

We're also holding a random prize draw when we get 100 Twitter followers, and think of a name for Dominic's narrowboat!

The Gadget Geeks, Tom Scott and Charles Yarnold, dropped in during the Nottingham Hackspace Festivus party to tell Hack All The Spaces all about their new television show.

Gadget Geeks is starting on Sky1 in January - see the trailer!

Sadly, Colin Furze, the third Gadget Geek, and Kate, the second Hack All The Spaces presenter, couldn't be with us.

Where we have issues with voice speed (hence some slight vocal issues), HATSP gets global, focusing on global Hackspaces, and Rule 3 always applies.

Rule 3: Put up or shut up - GET IT DONE. 

This is technically episode 3A as we managed to lose a 45 minute Podcast.

In this episode: Update on the Cardiff Hackspace, and a London Hackspace interview with Jonty and Russ.
