Podcasting
I cannot stop thinking about podcasting. It has become the all encompassing thought inside my head. I have been talking a lot about it with my buddy Dan. He is as obsessed about it as I am. He has even gone as far as publishing a few podcasts. You can check them out at The Live Show.
So, like I was saying, I am so hooked on these podcasts, that I have turned my website into an all out blog. Using moveabletype, I hope to start podcasting myself in the near future. But beyond that, I want to write and talk about it. If you are new to podcasting and want to try just one show, I suggest you try out Adam Curry's (yes, that Adam Curry) podcast. He produces a very slick 40 minute show that is very entertaining (most days). His podcast is available at The Daily Source Code.
Adam Curry is considered "the podfather". I am pretty sure he was not the first, though I may be wrong, if I am let me know. I think Dawn And Drew where the first. In any case, Adam Curry is the man who has put the word podcasting into the mainstream. I think a lot of people want to try and equate podcasting to radio, but I don't think that is a good analogy. Radio is done to a schedule - wanna listen to Stern - then tune in between 6 am and 10 am Mon - Fri. Podcasting - no schedule, you can listen to it whenever you want. How about content. Well, we all know about the FCC and it's hold on radio. In Podcasting, no FCC. It is completely uncensored. No government regulators breathing down your back.
By the way I am currently listening to I Won't Hold You Back from the album "The Essential Toto" by Toto
