SoccerGossip.comShow#4 on October 19th, 2005. The English Premier League is back, so BeatleManU does his usual roundup of the weekends fixtures. Added to that, Champions League Matchday 3 and a roundup of European World Cup Qualifiers, we have quite a big show!!!
This week I had a 'normal' radioshow for DFM RTV Int. (http://dfm.nu) with my homegrown soundscapes and music. And like I promised with embedded Paris sounds. If you like be live on the radioshow; I'm doing the show every thursday from 22:00 till 24:00 (GMT +1). You only have to visit http://dfm.nu to find a link to the livestream and chat. Maybe'll see you next time on the chatchannel. And no surprise of course, but my nickname on that is 'Zebra404'.
Show Notes - Length: 43:52 1) "One man..." and the Intro Theme. Intro music credit: SlushFund by JTK. Available under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareALike License from copacetix.com 2) Hello from Edmonton. Travel notes from the last few days. (Sound quality is "mobile" in this podcast... be forwarned.) 3) Digital Audrey tells you about contacting the Bradcast. Music: Jazz Skank by JTK. Available under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareALike License from copacetix.com 4) Thoughts about NorthernVoice in Vancouver; Feb. 19, 2005 (I mention qumana.com, drupal.org, bryght.com) 5) A short bit on Nortel and their plan to cut R&D expenses 6) The year of the rooster, TV people have called me... Self-promotion and podcasting 7) Techpodcasts.com and the possibilities for podcast commercialization (Sorry Todd I mean't GeekNewsCentral, not geek central news...) 8) The hell of OPML. Why are some podcasters force fitting show notes into this superminisubset of XML? There are alternatives; why not album art? There are clues to future possibilities in the work being done by Jon Udell. 9) Using the Belkin microphone adapter with the Ipod and I'm coming home...
Nothing like a little Red Bull to get the blood pumping. We will never have a repeat performance like last show that is a guarantee. I made a decision if I have to much on my plate we can always delay a day if we need to .
New Promo best suggestion good or bad for the show will win the $20.00 prize, the key is you must call in on the voice mail line at 619-342-7365, only way to win is make a comment. I will be sole judge of who wins. Winner announced on next weeks Tuesday show.

Halley interviews Dan Gillmor, the nationally known columnist for The San Jose Mercury News and expert blogger, who recently left the paper to pursue a new venture in citizen journalism. Dan is the author of the book We The Media: Grassroots Journalism By The People, For The People which was published in 2004 by O'Reilly. His blog about the book is here. His new venture, Grassroots Media Inc, has everyone talking and visiting his new blog, where he's got a great discussion going on about blogging and journalism. (Audio from IT Conversations)
This show was about various topics, hence no "theme".
It features conversations with Curt Rosengren, Michael Pollock, and my wife.

Bradcast Number 3 is "in production". You can look forward to elaborations on the the blog entry discussed by Effern and Doc Searls. I talk about my new Christmas toy -- the Apple Ipod, its bipolar interface and wonder out loud about technology choices based on petty feuds rather than customer interests. While that show percolates, here's a podcast bonus -- a stand-alone version of Tune Podder Parody -- "Tune Your Podcast Like a Radio". Feel free to use it in your podcasts, but please let people know where you got it. Turn your podcast clients to this Feedburner feed if you want to grab the enclosure.
This show was all about Marketing.
This program is the second of two parts, and features conversations with NP from State of the Line, Brad Gibson, and Doc Searls.

IT Conversations audio from Pop!Tech 2004 (Global Creativity): Richard Florida, Professor of Economic Development at Carnegie Mellon University explains the shift from an industrial society to a worldwide creative society.
After Mark Cuban made a billion or so selling his company to Yahoo! during the height of the Web 1.0 craze, he decided to buy a basketball team. Fortunately, he bought the Mavericks, a team whose name suits his style: brash, out there, and unconventional. Now he's back in the media business with HDNet. Cuban is a stitch onstage, a straight-talking no-punches-pulled Wildman whose irreverent one liners will have you snorting wine out your nose. This conversation with Mark Cuban is moderated by John Heilemann, a special correspondent for Wired and a former staff writer for The New Yorker and The Economist. (IT Conversations audio from the Web 2.0 Conference)

Well it's finally available. Bradcast Number 3 is here. It's taken me two weeks and multiple recording sessions to get it down to these 56.5 minutes. I haven't been particularly impressed with some of podcasting's luminati recently -- no doubt you will hear that in the tone. I talk about Apple, my new Ipod and re-visit some thoughts that were also discussed in another podcast by Effern and Doc Searls. If nothing else I think you will really like listening to Christa Couture. Let me know what you think. Here are the show notes: 0:00 "Potty Mouth" and the Intro 1:23 Podcasting Disclaimer". Just in case your impressions and reality are 2 different things. 1:48 Theme credits 3:48 Podcast Koolaid - Why are so many prominent podcasters jumping the shark? Comments from me and reference to a Doc Searls entry: "And that fight starts in our own minds, and in our own speech." 7:16 Listener Email. Podcast listenership and bad stereo. Thank you to "Pben" and Doug Kaye 12:54 The Mac Mini. I'm not impressed yet -- and yes we do have an Apple G4 PowerBook in our toolkit. 19:24 About the Ipod "Special Edition U2". The good and the bad about the Ipod and Itunes. Musings on the disconnect between Microsoft, Apple, music and my desktop. 32:56 Bono wants to play with the Ipod design team. Can he fix the interface? How about the dismal ID3 tagging on "The Complete U2?" ? 37:59 Digital Audrey tells you how to contact the Bradcast 38:19 Musings on the current music scene 39:38 Song -- Day 4 by Christa Couture. Available at www.garageband.com 43:53 More information about Christa Couture. Visit www.christacouture.com to buy her CD-EP "Starter". 47:17 The Effern Interview Redux: Comments on Doc Searls reflections about my May 2004 blog entry. Refer to thevisionthing.blogspot.com and garage.docsearls.com 55:48 Extro - See you next time at the Bradcast. Keep those cards and letters coming in. Make sure that your podcast client is now pointing here to my Feedburner RSS 2.0 feed to pick up the enclosure automatically. You can also use this feed if you hate typing long, obscure URL's. The old hand-wrapped feed is now officially "depped" (depracated for you non-cool geeks). A couple of follow-up notes. In the last quarter, the percentage of revenue related to Ipod sales at Apple increased to 35% from 25%. This podcast is long enough to split into 2; play the first half on the way to work and the second on the way home -- thus my reference to part A and B at the end of the show.
