Forget what we said before! Our podcast is scheduled to return, at long last, on Thursday, 23 June 2011!
Hold us to it! Prepare to hopefully not be disappointed!

Maybe it was us, because we’ve got one coming up next week! No, for real this time, in all likelihood!

As promised just two days ago, we at Babylon Telecom have found a way to honour the potentially profitable story of our friend and former employee Wally Frank.
We’ve created an exclusive account on Twitter just for him, and we’ll post excerpts of his appealing “everyman” brand of poetry throughout the foreseeable future. Follow him around, everybody!

Have you taken advantage of our amazing social network promotion yet? No? Well, what’s holding you back, Jack/Jill? This Twitter isn’t going to tweet itself, you know! Get on board by Sunday, 20 March 2011, and we’ll cut you into a fancy exclusive reward!
Don’t forget about our page on Facebook, either. Sure, we haven’t really done anything with it yet, but maybe we’d have more incentive if more people “liked” it! That’s how this works, right?
The story of Wally Frank is a sad story indeed. He wasn’t one of the more “dynamic” or “memorable” members of the Babylon Telecom team-family, but he did his job with quiet grace and dignity – which, come to think of it, was also the way he mysteriously disappeared.
It must have been a few months ago now that someone in middle management noticed that Wally hadn’t been showing up for work lately, which was very much unlike him as far as anyone was aware. We at Babylon Telecom launched a full-scale search, and finding nothing, we did the right thing and fired him.
Recently, while cleaning out Wally’s desk, one of our highly unpaid interns discovered a little, nondescript book of handwritten poetry laying in the bottom drawer. Here were the various snippets and moments of Wally’s remarkably unremarkable life, collected in one secret place.
Moving stuff, for real! We’re going to cram this thing through legal and see if we can’t monetize it. Wally would have wanted it that way, for all we know!
We at Babylon Telecom freely acknowledge that our views on the Grammys should potentially be taken with a grain of salt. Although we like to believe our opinions are objective, and not at all influenced by the fact that we were shut out for the umpteenth year in a row, we are fully aware that there are those out there who might see it differently.
That said: Why are we talking about the fact that some people haven’t heard of the Arcade Funeral, when we should be talking about the fact that some people haven’t heard of Justin Bieber? Those of us in the “industry” know that nothing less than total ubiquity will do! Anything short of a mass neural imprint is an absolute failure!
Look, the kid pulled himself up from the mean streets of Shakespearetown with only a massive multicorporate PR campaign in his corner! Are we talking to ourselves over here?
We don’t know how these sorts of rumours get started, and frankly, we don’t care to know. But let it be stated, for the record, that we at Babylon Telecom are not a cult! If you’re looking for a cult, please look elsewhere!
In fact, we challenge any cult to deliver more customer satisfaction than we do. Let alone beat our rates!
Looks like our social media manager came back from yesterday’s potentially liquid lunch and made a bold bunch of promises! Rather than reprimand him, we’ve decided to follow through!
All of you have to do is visit us on Twitter, where you can read this and this and this and this and this and this, and you’ll know what to do. Make it happen by Sunday, 20 March 2011, and hang on for a wild ride indeed!
