If you do nothing else this week, go listen to these two podcasts:
- CBC’s Spark podcast Episode #35 – Mainly for Nora Young‘s interview with podcaster, writer, musician et al Derek K. Miller of Penmachine; there is other interesting content as well, but do not miss this interview. There’s a full version of the interview on Spark’s site.
- QN Podcast Episode “Gin, Television, and Social Suplus” from April 30th, 2008 – Sage Tyrtle reads a stop-you-in-your-tracks essay written by Clay Shirky of Here Comes Everybody.
Oh, and if you still happen to have an hour left over, go listen to the DicksnJanes podcast episode #149 wherein K, I and some friends and acquaintances from podcasting help The Scarborough Dude celebrate his 60th birthday this past weekend. Happy birthday, Dude!
And while you’re at it why not go read Bob Goyetche‘s excellent rant over the morphing/rebranding of Podshow into Mevio (WTF??? Just what kind of drugs were they on when they came up with that name?) – the comments are particularly worth reading.
