Not quite “All About Tech Writing”
April 8th, 2009 5 Comments
I haven’t got round to doing a podcast for a while. I’ve been using up the remainder of my holidays recently, having lots of long weekends, which should have given me plenty of time to do one, but instead I’ve been doing … well, hang on a minute, what have I been doing?
That’s sort of a general feeling I have most of the time: feels like I’m very busy, but also feels like I’m not getting very much done. Anyway, one thing I did get done (a few weeks back now) was a recording for The Writing Show podcast.
They’ve called it “All About Tech Writing”. I don’t think it quite lives up to that billing, but if you’re interested in having a listen, you can find it here:

You did a beautiful job of providing an overview of tech writing, Alistair. That's why I called the show "All About Tech Writing." :) Any time you'd like to come back and do more shows for us, let me know! I love your smooth presentation.

Thanks Paula. Having been a long-time Writing Show listener, I was delighted to be invited to contribute. I've got to admit, though, that I cringed a little at my opening section (the bit about starting a new job) when I listened back to the podcast the other day. But hopefully your listeners found it interesting.
All the best. Keep those podcasts coming!

Alistair,
Others are far less critical of what we do than we are. You were terrific!

I completely agree with Paula. It was an excellent, well laid out, interesting and informative overview.
As someone whose career has included technical writing, but hasn't actually centred on it, I found it very useful and has given me confidence by hearing an insider's view on the topic and by confirming some of my own experiences.
Thanks to you both. :)

Thanks for that Matt. I'm really glad to hear you found it useful.
