Wow… almost a podf***er.
Thanks for the Skype voicemail, Nate & Di!
Thanks to Ron at Griddle Cakes for the intro!
THANK YOU for staying subscribed!
Also, if you’re joining us for the first time after Rob Walsh promised you that I would have commentary on the recent PodShow Quit Your Day Job promotional invites, Welcome! Not much news about it, but some advice.
One of the best uses of the bleeps by Tim from RadioClash.
Our feed only has about 4 or 5 shows in it, but there are another 10 or so in the archive. Stop by www.podcheck.com and click on the monthly archive links on the left side of the web page to access them. We started as a weekly show in May of 2005, and ALL of the past 16 shows are still relevant. How do we do it? We invent and lie about the news before it actually happens. It gives our shows extra couple of months of shelf-life.
Jumping straight to podcasting 11.0
What’s the sitch? - Can I just say that Kim Possible on the Disney channel is the best animated series out there that you can watch with your kids? Geez, and it’s the last season, too. I’ll bet they show up on the Apple iTunes store within the next 18 months.
NEWS Roundup From The Newsroom
- The term ‘podcast’ has been declared Word of the Year by the New Oxford American Dictionary.
- It’s hot, right? Must be! Because it seems like every podcast media company is pushing hard to signup podcasters right now.
- Hints that the plan will be revealed after the first of the year…
- Quit Your Day Job invites from PodShow delivered 12-6 and 12-7
- I am telling people that they should get the contract to sign and review it carefully. If they do decide to sign it - see a lawyer first.
- Mark McCrery from PodTrac will be interviewed on Podcast 411 next week, so be sure to tune into that over at www.podcast411.com
- Kiptronic interview – July 18th Podcheck Review
- Survey Results (leaked by an elf at PodTrac) - When it comes to surveys such as this, the more participants the better. I reveal some not-so-shocking statistics about YOU!
- Some other kinds of things shaking out for talented podcasters include deals with MP3 player companies.
- Melodio – http://www.melodeo.com/ hoping to be a cross-platform mobile-phone-based iTunes killer.
- And, individuals striking out on their own. For every PodShow, PodTrac, PodBlaze, Odeo, Melodeo, Podilly-dee-odeo, there will be some companies that just simply “strike out” and don’t make it.
- November 17th, 2005 - PureCast Media just went belly-up – Right about the same time that The Area51 show went dark. We’ll miss you!
- The folks at www.iPodverts.com (ad auctions) seems to have discontinued their operations.
- There is a HUGE market of potential podcasters, especially since:
YAHOO! PODCASTING SERVICE NOW IN INDIA - How and When I want it. – or as I am starting to call it – the HAWIWI market.
Who is getting it?
- David Lawrence gets it. 12-02-2005 – Personal Netcast – A GREAT soliloquy on “Why we listen to shows like Adam Curry’s”
- Subscribe to David Lawrence’s daily 10-minute personal netcast over at www.thedavidlawrenceshow.com
- you can also now get his three-hour radio show via podcast via Bitpass Unplugged for around $7 a month, or $60 a year. It’s well worth it if you can listen to three hours a day.
- Wow, here’s a great example of what we used to call in the radio business, a “knob turner.” - The show’s identity concealed to protect the guilty-but-well-intentioned.
- Scott Johnson gets it. He’s a quote “amateur” who’s show sounds just as good as any professional show. In fact, I enjoy his show more than I enjoy mine.
- Scott Johnson’s ExtraLifeRadio show, every Tuesday they do what they call a “panel show” with a bunch of guys to whom I can relate. It’s a GREAT show, and I encourage you to take a listen – at www.ExtraLifeRadio.com – “No time for Romance Dr. Jones!”
- Lest we forget about the – plain brown wrapper side of new technology….
- Hoho ho ho ho!!! Santa is podcasting! - Ask him for the Premium Bodcast!
- Who’s going to watch VideoBlogs? EVERYONE.
- I just found an RSS videblog client for My MediaCenter PC, and TiVo is getting similar features. (What? TiVo? I thought they were dead? just got a breath of fresh air with the ComCast deal. )
- Exclusive tivo beta photos
- Not mentioned in the show… “Monday, servers across the country started seeing traffic in their logs tagged with the agent name of “PSPRssChannel-agent/1.0.0 libhttp/1.0.0″, which apparently is a flavor of Sony’s Media Manager Software for the Playstation Portable. As far as I know, this is just for audio podcasts, but video is just around the corner.”
