Update. Update.

storyfix_logo.jpgSTORYFix is now available as a news take-away video podcast (vodcast?). Get it , or, excitingly, from itself, although it's yet to displace Ricky Gervais - or Newsnight, for that matter - at or near the top of the Apple hit parade.

It's the same content, brought to you in a different way. Let me know what you think.

Mark Barlex is responsible for STORYfix

Subscribed to the podcast and watched the first, and I must say for me,last edition.
Not big, not clever and certainly not funny. Just a trivial, banal, stupid piece of garbage that was an absolute waste of my time.

Love the new style!

Can't wait for you to have a pacy item like:

"321 Lebanese/Israeli children.....dead"

with usual deadpan delievery and flashy graphics.

cool!

Great to see the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ providing video podcasts. Its just a shame they can't get their video podcast feeds coded correctly.

Sony PSP users can not uses these feeds on their PSP due to the fact that the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ feeds make them think they are audio files rather than video files.

This is due to the enclosure tag for the video file having the following audio type, type="audio/mpeg", rather than a video type.

it's pretty interesting stuff, I love the presentation - but I sometimes come away feeling like I've eaten too much sugar.

Feedback for Sean Kelly.

The enclosure tag you mention has now been changed to type="video/x-m4v".

This change will take affect from the next podcast.

Really like it - Kate is much better, and more natural at presenting it though.

Also, I know it's on the news multiscreen service over the weekend, but is there any specific time it's on TV so I can see it on a BIG screen?

Thanks for fixing the feeds. Using the PSP to access these podcasts via wifi, no computer involved, is great. Keep up the good work on StoryFix its a great video podcast.

It's funny, slick but terribly clever - that may curdle as digital broadcasting matures and such programmes move out of a knowing, online ghetto. I'm not sure Lord Reith would have sanctioned a weekly It'll Be Alright On The Night/light satire hybrid created by the actual participants.

Storyfix is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever seen on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳.. It is so amateurish, banal and utterly misplaced in a quality news programme... I can't believe that this could be accepted by the news programme management and editorial team... What has happened?...Somebody higher up is clearly in the wrong job... I have to switch off for five minutes during the weekend morning news and I have never had to have to do this before!!.... Please allow me to enjoy my start to the day, with a proffessional quality news programme, and get rid of it!!!!
A desperate viewer..

Is the above Brian O Connell the same man who works for RTÉ in London? I think its a great idea for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News to let off a bit of steam going into the weekend. Although I must say the ones with the female presenters always seem to turn out much funnier.

Whenever Storyfix starts at the week end I immediately switch over to Sky for the next five minutes.
Banal and unentertaining.

I cannot believe Storyfix is over! A great loss, it is actually one of the most entertaining things on television! Great shame!

However, the last episode was brilliant, so well done Emily and James! Always go out on a high!
