We lament the loss of one of our zero’s, Kieran brings forth the news and the funny and we engage in a almost academic level of discourse on the issues associated with overfunding on crowdfunding platforms. Also included – a bit of Startup talk, a new Mac code editor, the new Royal baby and our first ever competition.

Listen in and find out who the two, yes two, winners of Keir’s lunchbox are!

Like the proverbial phoenix, we have risen! Kieran is back and we finally wish each other a happy new year. This episode we try and get to the bottom of why we weren’t nominated for a Net Award, this as you might imagine takes a while.

We ask the other burning question of the week, that being is Harry Roberts (the one and only CSS Wizard) really under 25. We also manage to chat about some of the recent happenings in the web industry – no really we do. It’s good to be back.

Just when you thought you could delete us from your podcatcher we are back and with a distinct lack of excuses for our absence. This week we discuss our new weekly formats and chat extensively about “transitioning”.

Over the last few months both of us have found our main focuses shifting and as a result the way we present ourselves online has changed, or had to change, too. We revisit our discussion on “flowery Twitter bios” and look at ways in which our friends, colleagues and heroes represent themselves online – through the blog posts they write, links they curate and share and other output including podcasts and videos. We touch on expectations, schedules and much more in our first episode back behind the Yeti’s.

• Sean Wes
• The Sean Wes Podcast: Episode 92
• Daniel Howells on Twitter
• Gary Vee

We’d love to hear about your experiences of transitioning. Get in touch on Twitter and Facebook.

As we reach the ripe old age of 30 we sit back and chat about a topic we often come back to over an artisinal flat white – why do people think everything on the web “should” be free? We discuss some possible causes, the backlash against app developers charging for previously free tools and ponder if the rise of big VC has played it’s part too.

Oh and yes there’s yet more microphone drama. All will be explained next week. As always we do apologise for the disruption to the service.

If you like our show please feel free to leave us a review on iTunes.

This week Kieran joins us live via a pair of Apple headphones from Coffee #1. Complete with baristas creating flat whites and the chitter chatter of remote workers typing away we throw audio fidelity to the wind and freestyle over a few links from Keir’s web site.

• Codebase
• Deploy
• Dial 9
• Sirportly
• Keir’s 404 page
• MAMP Pro Apache Failed to Start on OS X Yosemite
• Print media queries not working?

• The Web Is
• Christopher Murphy
• Benjamin Hollway
• David Hieatt
• Managing Oneself

Back from our travels we retrun behind the Yeti’s to discuss everything from the hunt for the perfect email app to the sartorial elegance of modern tech CEO’s. This episode also features a rather spledid retreat venue only four hours from Spokane.

• The Web Is
• Beyond Tellerrand Berlin
• Punctuation Tips
• Google Inbox
• Define the CTO
• Business casual has become a little too casual
• Dog Bark Park Inn

We are back once again (albeit a few days weeks late). Illness, travel and house moves put things on hold but we’ll be back in full force in the run up to the holiday season. This week we welcome in our new logo courtesy of Sean Johnson and pick out four links and topical stories we found of interest over the last few weeks.

• Sean Johnson
• Nomad Community
• Yandex Browser
• Bittorrent bundles
• Sony Hack

This week Keir tries to speak “Somerset” and no surprises for guessing the outcome of that one. Once that’s done and dusted we take a look at the rise in Markdown based writing apps, examine a new ebook service from Liberio, try and fail to work out the implications of the new EU VAT place of supply rule for digital services and finally round it out with a chat about at a new comms tool.

• Typed
• Whiskey
• Liberio — “eBooks to go” (Liberio is sadly no longer active — for more options check out this article)
• Cat Noone interview on Smashing Magazine
• Sendowl and the VAT question

It’s that time of the year when we look back on the past 12 months and dish out our (cough, cough) highly prized awards! This year in the 2014 BAFTAS we have eight categories and round off the show with a little bit of crystal ball gazing in which we both make our predictions for 2015.

Without further ado here are the categories and winners:

1. The award for not being a very good year in the industry: 2014
2. Conference/event of the year: Web Teaching Day & Beyond Tellerrand Berlin
3. Podcast of the year: Startup
4. Most hyped app of the year: Slack
5. Man of the year: Sean McCabe
6. Woman of the year: Rachel Andrew
7. Trend of the year: Privacy & Security

Happy holidays to our all listeners. We really do appreciate including us in your weekly audio listening. See you in 2015.

Happy 2015! We are back for the new year with a look at four links that caught our attention over the holiday season. We also spill the beans on some of the topics we’ll be covering this year.

Featured in this weeks episode:

• TechCrunch Cribs
• 12 Startups in 12 Months
• Just Try and do a Good Job
• Moonpig Vulnerability

If you like our little show we’d very much appreciate a review on iTunes if you have time. Thanks!

In a change to the announced billing, an impromptu early morning phone call made us think a chat about remote working might be in order. As many of us fight the January blues, and inevitable bout of illness that the new year often brings, it felt a timely opportunity to discuss the good, and the bad, aspects of working from a distance.

Topics we discuss include:

• How does working remotely affect us?
• What we both like and dislike about it
• How much real work you achieve per day
• The importance of “banter”
• Is the reality like the dream?
• A typical day for remote working?
• Do we put extra pressure on ourselves to output more as we are not in the office?
• How to feel part of the company you work for

And finally for those Nabaztag doubters out there you can read the full history of the internet enabled rabbit on Wikipedia!

Five Simple Steps Giveaway

To be in with a chance of winning one of the two sets of Five Simple Step’s Pocket Guide Collection 3 all you have to do it answer one of the following two questions correctly. Kieran’s decision will be final (he’s a harsh judge):

1. Q: What was Matthew Lillard’s handle in the cult-classic 1995 film Hackers?
2. Q: In the same year Sandra Bullock played a Systems Analyst in the film The Net. During the course of the film her identity is changed by cyber criminals but what is the name they gave her?

To enter just send a tweet to @backtofrontshow with your answer. We’ll announce winners on the next episode.

Like a phoenix from the flames, we have risen. Our year long retreat for slightly overweight tech men from the South West of England is officially over. We’ve eaten the kale, cleansed ourselves, got the glow and are now itching to get back behind the mics. It’s out with the Yeti’s and in with a spanking new steed for Kieran and a less than great “Madonna” mic for Keir.

In this week’s episode, we discuss where on earth we’ve been for the last 13 months, chat about how we’ve moved away from the code face and share experiences of a life away from daily development.

Finally, we announce the winner of the longest competition in Back to Front Show history!

It’s good to be back.

Three years ago we started this little adventure called The Back to Front Show. Since then we’ve somehow managed to record 39 shows. Not the best of averages but who’s counting?

In our milestone 40th show, we discuss the cake that never happened, Keir’s favourite new TV show, standing desks and end with a discussion that starts with Sarah Parmenter’s recent blog post and ends with thoughts on specialisation.

You may also be pleased to hear that our “and finally” section returns this week and features a great satire on our industry.

• Waitrose Caterpillar Cake
• Tattoo Fixers
• The $25 Oristand Standing Desk
• The Elephant in the Room
• Vitaly from Smashing Magazine’s response
• The Passable Designer

In this week’s episode, we turn our gaze to the topic of ad-blockers and paid content. We discuss Vitaly from Smashing Magazine’s recent post looking at how they are funding their content strategy and discuss our own views on paying for digital content.

As always we book end the show with some “bants” including heartfelt thanks to some of our favourite supporters and a nod to a Cornish brewing companies new site.

• Keir’s controversial “Grilled Cheese” post
• The Grilled Cheese Hipster Revival
• Vitaly’s article on Ad-Blockers
• Verdant Brewing Co

This episode is dedicated to our favourite Australian Gavin Ballard — all round good guy, world traveller, bon viveur and last but by no means least Shopify Expert. Gavin is a long time listener (we still aren’t sure why) and friend of the show. If we had a pin badge and sticker “care package” he’d be the first recipient!

Topics covered in this mega-length show include the weather in the South West, Skype video, our favourite NYC diners, the use of technology in the bathroom, career paths for developers, and more.

• Gavin Ballard
• Skype Etiquette
• RIP The Market Diner
• Modern stock photography
• The Vazoo Video Keir Forgot
• Being A Developer After 40</ul>

If you would like a show dedicated to you please let us know via the comment link below and we’ll undoubtedly make it happen.

This week we celebrate the internet’s very own Oliver Lindberg as we get #lostwithlindberg. Given our distinct lack of direction for this episode, it seemed only right and proper that our favourite editor of the internet takes this week’s naming rights. If you are ever lost, and if you can find him, maybe you can also get “lost with Lindberg”. Cue the music.

We might not be a crack commando unit but we did our best to highlight a few choice topics from the internet underground. In this week’s show, we speak out in favour of the new Instagram logo, welcome the Lord of the .io domain to the UK’s most hipster city, discuss a big man with a new big book, see the sunset on sunrise, and finally get all excited about our new startup!

• Instagram redesign their logo!
• Bath now more Hipster than Dalston
• Pretty Much Everything by Aaron James Draplin
• Goodnight Sunrise
• Startpup Contest

It feels like only last week that the two “K Units” got behind the Samson CO1UPRO‘s and recorded episode #43. So close in fact, that we even manage to think we are still actually recording episode #43!

In this short 53 minute episode, we catch up on recent life goings on, learn that Kieran has been “tamping hard” in his role as “Digital Guy” at the bespoke artisanal coffee roasting company, discuss language used by people under the age of 30, announce our new club, and round out with a chat about Kickstarter. There may even be a mention of earphones!
