Bob Geldof on ColaLife, Condoms and the Pope

April 2, 2009 by Simon Berry 

Simon Berry talks to Bob Geldof about Colalife.org, condoms and the Pope from Podnosh on Vimeo.

Thanks to Nick Booth’s (podnosh) journalistic instincts I was able to get in front of Bob Geldof and, rather nervously, explain the ColaLife campaign to him. He got it and had some interesting observations. It is clear we share a similar view on the Pope’s recent comments on condoms. See the original post with Nick’s commentary here.

This what happened immediately after my conversation. I got in just in time. After the conversation with Bob Geldof, I was interviewed by Associated Press . . . who know’s where that will end up.

    Amazing… I can only assume that Bob Geldof got out alive after the press steam-rollered over him to get to you, as I’ve yet to hear any news to the contrary.

    Honestly though - incredible stuff.

    Absolutely brilliant! So happy for Simon and Colalife including those who were with you - Shane and Nick.

    Absolutely amazing! It’s very exciting!!

    I do hope Bob Geldof will touch on ColaLife in his official website in the near future.

    ha. Emma you’re ‘daddy’ comments keep making me laugh. Simon, well done with this! I’ve said it everywhere you’ve posted it now I think, but seriously magnificent stuff. In the midst of press release no.2 :) K.

    [...] inspiration behind The Tuttle Club and was a fellow G20 Voice Blogger. I like this take as it shows Nick filming the conversation, the hand shake and tap on the shoulder! You can see Lloyd’s original post here. Thanks [...]
