”
Been there, done that. I recorded a soundseeing tour of MOMA two weeks ago. It’s a bear though because it’s over two hours of audio. With this news I must speed up production! I’ve also dropped the folks sponsoring this a [...]

There’s a new podcast out there in the podosphere that I want you to know about. You may or may not know that I served in the U.S. Army from 1993 to 1998. As a result of my service I have a special appreciation for the sacrifice made by our citizens who volunteer to serve [...]

His Mission: Simplify Podcasting (BusinessWeek): “
Odeo co-founder Evan Williams wants his startup to be a one-stop shop, from easily finding podcasts to creating them and selling ads for them
”

Or is it a fodcast? You see, I’ve been on the Business Week website where they have triumphantly announced their new podcast. I immediately start thinking, “Great, where’s the RSS feed?” So I navigate over to their podcast page and look for the xml icon. It’s nowhere to be found. There is a streaming player [...]
