In the flesh…

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

Well, if you’re a PR person, or simply someone walking around New York on Friday with an extra $600 or $700 and want to pop in, I’ll be speaking on a few Podcasting-related panels at the Bulldog Reporter PR Technology Conference. Feel free to say hi. I’m not a PR guy, but I [...]

I hate when technology doesn’t work

Monday, August 15th, 2005

Well, technology failed me tonight in many ways. John (Braun) and I went to record our latest podcast, and John’s cable modem was out due to a lightning storm. We use Skype to do the audio portion of our podcast (which, of course, is a key element!), and without a cable modem, we [...]

MP3 Killed the Radio Star

Wednesday, July 27th, 2005

Well if this just doesn’t say it all. The band, “Cruisebox”, named after their word for the iPod, has a tune called, “On a Podcast”. Yeah, the lyrics are “explicit,” but so long as that doesn’t bother to you, it’s about the best summation of what podcasting is (and isn’t), all rolled up [...]

Many folks have compared Podcasting to TiVo, saying it’s “TiVo [...]

Catching up from the Mac world

Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

Well, life’s been interesting lately. The podcast has been going amazingly well, to the point where it’s now something I feel like I *should* be doing to service the listeners. Thankfully, John and I are still enjoying the heck out of it, so we have no plans of stopping anytime soon! There [...]

Pocasting Explosion

Sunday, July 10th, 2005

Wow… this is amazing. A month ago, John Braun and I released our first podcast. Now, 4 shows in (and we just recorded the 5th), we’re listed in the top 20 podcasts on iTunes, and have thousands and thousands of subscribers (yes, that’s well into the 5 digit range). E-mail is pouring [...]

Joining yet another fray…

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

I realize I should have posted about this two days ago, but well, I’ve been too darned busy. In any event, I’ve begun podcasting. John Braun and I published the first edition of the Mac Geek Gab podcast over on TMO on Tuesday, and simply can’t wait to do the next one. [...]

iTunes Podcast approval required? Let’s hope we’re interpreting this wrong

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

Apple has demo’d a version of iTunes that allows access to podcasts, but reports indicate that podcasts need to be approved by Apple first. Let’s hope we’re reading that wrong.
