SDD Team,
Really loved the videos you’ve been making! I noticed you haven’t been getting very many views and comments tho :[
So i would love to help you promote Second Draw Down! If you could, send me a banner of Second Draw
Down of some kind and I could tell people about your show! Or if you want, I could make a banner for you.
Let me know!Ciao!
Audrey.
Thanks Audrey! Check out our banners and feel free to use them! (Or make your own from the wallpapers.
Hey Second Draw Down =]
Just wanted to let you know that I am totally loving the podcast, just watched the last couple of episodes and I subscribed on Itunes HOORAY. I was very sad when Novia had the big cry about the inbox being empty so this was my attempt at brightening up her day =]
Also… if you ever need any wee material or what-have-you, myself and two of my friends are going to Costa Rica on the International Student Volunteers thing that was promoted at our school and we could do a tiny lil interview with you dudes and dudettes =]
Awesome work guys, keep it up.

This week Novia takes you to Barcamp Auckland 2, an event organised and run by our very own producer and editor, Ludwig Wendzich. Barcamp Auckland centres around the sessions to do with web technologies but we’re not showing you those (we find those kinda boring and way over our head and we have a feeling so would you!)
We’ll be showing the all the cool stuff we found!
- another podcaster, Simon Young from iJump.co.nz who hosts Jump In!
- Throng.co.nz, like myspace for TV.
- Rockband! Awesome!
- Twitter.com - could be the SMS-killer (or not, you decide!)
- Karl who has one of the most popular applications on the new iPhone 3G!
- the ZUNE from Microsoft. Welcome to the social, well if you are in the US or Europe.
We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed the day!

My Faves
This week’s “My Fave” is a band called Reggie and the Full Effect. We feature some of their song “Get Well Soon”. Make sure to check them out, (they have a new album out) and remember to stay legal, use iTunes or AmazonMP3 for DRM-free yet legal music.
Timewaster
Check out Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) or the original from a couple of years ago.
Remember to let us know (in either video response, email or comment form) which of the cities, or if you travel a lot, which sights, you have been to, or seen. In a month’s time we’ll play your responses on the show - dance in an iconic place in your hometown and we’ll definitely include you!
Welcome Reagan
Our team is finally complete. We have our host, Novia Ng and now our two co-hosts (aka correspondents) Caisey Lee and Reagan White. When I wished to start this podcast I would have never dreamed I’d have THREE talented, interesting and unique individuals to host the show and I am very excited for the future of this show!
