Well, that's me... it's always nice to be a egocentric once in a while,
s
o here is a little info on me:

About me
My name is Andy (or Anders to be specific, but it's hard to pronounce in english) and I am a 33 year old guy from Sweden. I got into podcasting around october 2005, after having been blown away by other podcasters I listened to. I thought that I just HAD to try this out myself.
I work as an Art Director (a guy in charge of graphic design, for those who don't know) on two trade magazines called FastFood and Recycling.
I live together with Marie, who has designed this website by the way, and my two kids (with my former wife) in a little house in Helsingborg, Sweden. Helsingborg is a city - or town - with a pop. of briefly 110 000, located in the far south of Sweden, just a short swim from Denmark.

My Story
I have been a hobby musician for some time (like 32 years or so) but came to a dead end a few years ago, when my musical creativity just didn't take me anywhere any more. And at just the same time I happened to come across a so called podcast (which was just so fresh in Sweden at the time) which got me thinking. I had always dreamt about the radio media and this was basically just the same, but on the internet. So I got in touch with some of the people I had listned to myself (like Swoopy at skepticality.com and Rob at podcast411.com) and they were extremely patient with all my e-mails regarding how I should start this up.
And here I am, alive and kicking in the Independant Podcast Community!

My equipment
I know there are a lot of tech-geeks out there so I've made an entire page on my setup.

Well, that's just about all I'm gonna tell you. *smile*
