I got an email a couple of days ago from Fabian Frei, a student at The University of St Gallen in Switzerland, who is writing his master’s thesis on innovation in the podcasting scene and wanted to chat to me about TPN, so of course I recorded tonight’s interview.

An interesting post on Andrew Sullivan’s blog recently from one of his readers who says:
I am an atheist (who was once a Christian) and wanted to comment on your latest missive to Sam Harris. I would describe my own embrace of science and secular humanism as being motivated by a form of faith that is deeper than Christian faith. I believe that if Jesus lived today, he would be a secular humanist and would reject Christianity, just as he “rejected” Judaism and inspired Christianity. Christianity was once the vehicle for the boldest and most honest thinking about reality, the brotherhood of man, and the human condition. I think in light of the advances in science and our exposure to other religious traditions, it is time again to humanize further our understanding of “God” (or the source of all truth, goodness, and beauty) and come to a more universal understanding of religion.
I’m not sure I agree with the author’s claim that Christianity was ever “the vehicle for the boldest and most honest thinking about reality” – bolder than vedanta? However, he makes a good point that, from what we know about the man called Jesus (which as we saw from my podcast with John Dickson, is very little), he doesn’t seem to have been overly concerned about tradition or authority.
Would he have been like Father Bob Maguire, who I had another of my regular skirmishes with last week?

Today I talk to Brian Ibbott from the “Coverville” podcast. Brian has been podcasting since September 2004 and has a massive success on his hands with Coverville. He has been featured in publications such as BusinessWeek and Rolling Stone Magazine and was one of the podcasts featured on the front page of iTunes’ podcast directory in the weeks after they launched it. Brian is also pretty unique in the podcasting world because he pays a licensing fee to the various music industry bodies for permission to play RIAA tracks on his show.
On the show we talk about:
- How Brian got started in podcasting
- What equipment he uses to produce his show
- Where he hosts his files
- How he licenses music tracks to play on this show
- How many listeners he has
- How he promotes the show and finds an audience
- How much money he is currently making from advertising
- What he sees for the future of podcasting

Brian Shearer is the co-host of TPN’s latest podcast “Comic Review Weekly” and he’s a real life “comic book guy”. You can check out his work (with his partner Marty Blevins) at Gravyboy.com. Gravyboy is the story of a superhero who, instead of being given the power to control gravity, is, due to something of a clerical error, given the power to control gravy. Funny, huh?
Anyway, I dragged Brian kicking and screaming onto G’Day World to chat about comics. We tackle issues such as:
Why comics are an important form of 21st century literature
Where to start if you aren’t currently into comics
Why comics are taking off more online
How to get a job in comics

My Van Halen technorati feed picked up this post by A VC talking about Bob Lefsetz’s podcast. Lefsetz is a “music industry insider” who sounds like he stepped out of a Scorsese film. Yeah I know he’s Jewish but a good mob film always has one Jewish guy who the wiseguys kind of tolerate because he makes them lots of green. A N Y W A Y … Bob does this brilliant podcast for Rhino Records and this episode is all about VAN HALEN. It is simply BRILLIANT. Thank you Bob, you made my morning. This is what podcasting is all about.
