Podcasting
I’m too tired tonight for a proper post, so I thought I’d just toss out some comments on what’s been catching my notice lately. In a word, Podcasting. To quote Les Orchard, “I’ve found myself falling for the Podcasting hype.”
If you haven’t heard of Podcasting, think newsfeed agregators meets audio blogging. Go read Les’s post, it’s an excellent look at why this is cool, and what’s new about it. Then go check out iPodder.org, the current epicenter of the podcasting universe. The site is run by Adam Curry, former MTV veejay, internet entrepenuer, and a driving force behind the podcasting craze.
If you want to give a listen, there’s already tons of content springing up, but try starting with Adam’s Daily Source Code. It’s big… the show runs 45 min. to an hour each day, and the bitrate is high, but it’s a good example of what’s possible. The production values are excellent, and he does it all from his Mac, eschewing professional audio equipment. The content tends to be very focused on podcasting itself (as with any new web tech, the initial level of navel-gazing is very high in podcasting so far)- but it’s a good way to get a feel for what’s going on.
