American Idol Meets The Weekly Top 40
By Rob Safuto on Apr 29, 2005 in Social Media |
Had a nice lunch conversation today with Mike Dunn who turned me on to the Geek dinner posted previous to this one. By the way, the Blog This function in Onfolio 2.0 is top notch. In any case, we talked a lot about podcasting gear, software and techniques.
I informed Mike of the Wall Street Journal Story that mentioned Todd and Rachel from Beware of the Babylon. I thought the article was too simplistic, not mentioning RSS and presenting podcasters as a “clubby” group which to me means unfriendly. We both agreed that’s the exact opposite of our experience.
There was a little talk about Infinity Broadcasting’s KYOU venture. Mike pointed me to an NPR interview with Infinity CEO Joel Hollander who informs us (listen) that they aren’t charging for uploads, (gee thanks) and that maybe they’ll find a replacement for Howard Stern. So I guess it’s American Idol for the Radio.
