The value of podcasting
The value of podcasting
02/01/2005 08:54 PMWhen the buzz about podcasting first started, I wondered what the
value of it was. And, even now, some people are still asking that
question. I believe I have an answer.
There are obvious ways to criticize podcasting. It’s hard to
quote a portion of a podcast. You can’t link to a certain spot
in an audio file. Reading text is much faster than listening to it.
It’s kind of like the difference between email and a fax—a
fax is a picture of text, while email
is text. A podcast is the
sound of words.
But all of that is beside the point—the value of podcasting is
that
people enjoy it. They like the spoken sound of words.
And that’s it. It’s not more mysterious than the appeal of
radio. The added bonus with podcasting is that you’re listening
to people who don’t have the restrictions of radio. They might
even talk about things that interest you.
It’s not a replacement for traditional weblog content. There
will always be plenty to read. No worries.

01/06/2005 02:41 AMI was reading Tim Bray's take on Podcasting a few minutes ago and
realized that he's done a good job of saying what I've been trying to
figure out how to say for a while now. How's that for a long sentence?
Anyway, had I not been so behind on my reading, I'd have already read
Russell's PodCommuter post, in which he talks about how he's hooked on
Podcasting. And I would have been able to talk with him about...

02/05/2005 09:13 PMLast night was the last night alone. After this weekend,
she'll now
sleep beside me - for a long time, I hope. After a flight back from
Germany I clambered to my apartment, stood outside in the snowfall and
tried to fish my keys from my pocket. A strange thought hit me:
"Whee! Outi must be home!" and an unvoluntary, unstoppable,
wide grin spread onto my face. Of course, she wasn't - that was the
last night - but I realized the simple
idea of her being there
made me deliriously happy.
I guess I'm still in love.

How Podcasting Works
How Podcasting Works
06/05/2005 10:56 PMPeter Rukavina:
“I’ve been doing a lot of talking about
podcasting
recently: explaining to people what it is, and how they can do it, and
how they can listen, and how it works. I thought it might be useful to
provide a very simple step by step illustration of how to
‘subscribe to a podcast.’”

06/06/2005 12:01 AMI have it on good authority that Nokia is taking a real hard look
at podcasting. Being they are the world leader in mobile phones this
is a smart move. As far as I can tell, non of them are running
Microsoft software in them. I think this is another development that
should cause Microsoft to catch up to the train because it is already
out of the yard!
Lets see Apple with Podcasting Support in iTunes, Nokia with
possible native podcast support built in and storage to boot. Very
interesting indeed.

Some news on the BBC and podcasting...
04/14/2005 01:59 PMThe other big news today from BBC Radio & Music Interactive (where
I work) is that we're about to open up twenty more programmes - mostly
from Radio 4 and Five Live as podcast feeds
for people to download. As my semi-ultimate boss said:
"The BBC was the first British broadcaster to podcast
when we made In Our Time available last year and this trial will
enable us to further explore the editorial, technical and distribution
issues involved."
Some of the programmes that you will be able to subscribe to
include (in full or part): The Today Programme, The Reith Lectures, In Our Time,
In
Business, From Our Own Correspondent, Sport
sweek, and Fig
hting Talk plus highlights and documentaries from Radio 1, 1Xtra and the World Service.
For more information see the BBC Press release and the article in Media Guardian. I'm really excited by this stuff,
for a whole range of reasons personally. And with sites like Odeo on the horizon, I can't help but
think this whole area's about to explode.

02/01/2005 09:35 PMIt's hard to imagine giant radio conglomerates like Clear Channel
fretting over such harmless-sounding podcasts as "The Dawn and Drew

businesses. And podcasting seems to hold the same disruptive potential
as TiVo, giving everyone the power to listen to the radio shows they

04/11/2005 05:45 AMPodcasting Catches Onhttp://
www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/154/report_display.aspAccording to the latest Pew Internet memo, more than 22 million
American adults own iPods or MP3 players and 29% of them have
downloaded podcasts from the Web so that they could listen to audio
files at a time of their choosing. That amounts to more than 6 million
adults who have tried this new feature that allows internet broadcasts
to be downloaded onto their portable listening device. This will
continue to grow as an alternative form of information dissemination
for the persons on the go and listening while they are traveling
et.al. I have been broadcasting my Current Awareness Happenings on the
Internet as a mp3 file for the past three years and the current April

Peter J. Howe, a staff writer — they didn't farm this out to one
of their (excellent) tech writers. Peter writes: If Internet-based
weblogs turned everyone into a potential newspaper columnist, and
digital cameras let them become photojournalists, podcasting is
promising to let everyone with a microphone and a computer become a
radio commentator. After the fold, he gets to what the effect

Great moments in podcasting

Yesterday while driving in Arizona, I tripped across a very
short clip of an Adam Curry podcast that I wished every person who was
interested in podcasting could hear, yet I am sure that only a very
small number have actually heard it.
Adam was doing a podcast while driving in Holland. He's talking
about how podcasting today is like college radio, everbody, when a guy
pulls up next to him and flashes his iPod. They roll down their
windows, have a brief conversation, in Dutch. I won't spoil the fun in
case you haven't heard it, it seems that day the good lord was
godcasting, and Adam and Raymond were just channeling.

"Why Podcasting will Save Radio"
10/07/2004 04:15 PMJobs: Podcasting via ITunes
Jobs: Podcasting via ITunes
06/05/2005 10:55 PMHere at the "D" conference, Steve Jobs announced the impending
addition of a podcast aggregation feature to the Itunes music store --
to go live in "the next 60 days." The idea is, you won't need to use a
separate application to make sure the podcast content you want will
sync with your Ipod -- you can do it all through your Itunes
interface.
"Podcasting is like Wayne's World for radio," Jobs said, and the
new ITunes functionality is "sort of like Tivo for your radio for your
Ipod."
Jobs promised that the ITunes podcasting platform would be open to
all comers; there'd be a simple automated system to get your content
included, he said. But it wasn't clear from his demo -- which featured
material from professional outlets like public radio stations -- just
how grassroots-y the Apple model is going to be.
There was a moment of amusement when Jobs clicked on an Adam Curry
podcast that began with Curry complaining, "I've had to restart the
show 3 times, my Mac has been acting up like a motherfucker." Jobs
just smiled. You have to figure that he knew just what he was playing;
it was funny nonetheless.
Some other notable bits from Jobs' Q&A with Mossberg and
Swisher:
He defended Apple's suit against Web sites that had published
confidential info about forthcoming Apple products, saying that the
law was clear here, and the First Amendment ends where breaking the
law (in revealing confidential trade secrets) begins.
Pressed to talk about whether Apple would pursue a video Ipod
product, he talked about the hardware limits in delivering good video
via small devices: "Headphones are a miraculous thing. There's no such
thing as headphones for video."
The much rumored Ipod phone? "It's a hard problem." Swisher
countered, "You're a smart guy." Mossberg asked why it wasn't
reasonable to assume that all portable-device functions -- music,
email, voice -- would converge on the cellphone. Jobs' cagy reply: "I
thoroughly understand the question, and I'll have to leave the answer
to our actions inthe future."
Finally, it seems there's a betting pool inside Apple about how
soon Yahoo will raise the prices on their (rock-bottom-priced) new
music-rental service ($5 a month when you buy a year). Jobs' bet? Five
months.
Podcasting Do-It-Yourself-Guide Review
Podcasting Do-It-Yourself-Guide Review
06/17/2005 03:50 PMOne of the first full reviews of my book is out and I do want to
point out several points that he was concerned about. I went to great
lengths to define acronyms as the entered the conversation and
sometimes diverging from the train of thought to make sure people
understood what specific acronyms meant before resuming the
conversation.
And certain topics he thought I covered to deeply but I felt it was
important for people to see examples of the structure of RSS as
enclosures are the glue that has allowed Podcasting to be unique in
the content delivery.
Overall though good review. [reviews.geekstreak.com]

Atom has better podcasting support than

06/05/2005 11:32 PM
Podcasting originated as a feature of RSS, but as the world moves to
the new standard Atom format, podcasters will too. Atom can support
podcasting through the
<link> element. As is the case
with RSS 2.0 based podcasts, you can only have one podcast per entry.
But, with Atom you can have a different representation for each
language and for each content-type. For example, if you want to make a
podcast available in both English and German and in both MP3 and WMV
formats, you can do it by adding links like those below to the entries
in your feed:
<link
href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-usenglish.mpg”
hreflang=”en-US” length=”21472922” type=”audio/mpg”
/>
<link
href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-usenglish.wmv”
hreflang=”en-US” length=”23889921” type=”audio/wmv”
/>
<link href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-german.mp3”
hreflang=”de-DE” length=”20032879” type=”audio/mpg”
/>
<link href=”http://example.com/podcasts/show001-german.wmv”

Pew Admits They Falsely Pumped Up
Podcasting Just For Fun
04/05/2005 06:50 AMLike many people, when the headlines started flying around this
morning saying that six million American adults listened to podcasts,
it seemed like a questionable number. The folks at the Pew Internet
and American Life Project tend to come out with pretty interesting
studies that don't often seem overhyped -- but this appears to be an
exception that really calls into question what the Pew people were
thinking. It didn't take long for many to
ques
tion the findings, noting that it's quite an extrapolation to go
from 60 people answering yes to six million in the US. Amazingly,
even the
folks at Pew admit they don't believe the 6 million number.
They only put out the press release about it -- why should they have
to believe it, or even support it with the facts in their survey? In
fact, the research director behind the study clarifies (after the
fact, of course) that the study actually asked people: "if they had
ever downloaded a podcast or radio Internet program." So, out of 200
people, they got 60 to admit that they had maybe at some point
downloaded an internet radio program (which is not necessarily the
same thing as podcasting) -- and from that they put out a report with
the
headline that "6 million American adults have listened to
podcasts." Why bother doing actual research any more when all the
attention is in made up numbers?
