So I had something really BIG planned for this show but, well, like most of the big plans I have, this one didn’t pan out in time. Instead, I’ve done a little retrospective of some of what I think the high points have been for the show over the last 200 episodes. In order of appearance you’ll hear short clips from my interviews with:
Noam Chomsky
Ray Kurzweil
David Weinberger
Doc Searls
Dr Aubrey de Grey
Robert Scoble
Thanks for still listening folks. You’ve made an old man very hard. I mean happy.

Tim King from +grooveARMY has written a brilliant widget for TPN which will run on your desktop to make sure you never miss another TPN podcast!
The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. With the TPN widget, it will sit unobtrusively on your desktop and display the latest 14 podcasts from across TPN. Pretty cool huh!?

So… since Ewan Spence started doing TPN Rock a couple of years ago, I’ve wanted to have a crack at it. And as soon as he told me he was looking for guests hosts, I DEMANDED a go at it. And it was FUN! Too much fun almost. I got to live out my radio DJ fantasy. Who knows, G’Day World might end up a music show.

This article on the new Samsung “iPhone killer” F700 has this interesting paragraph:
… the F700 offers 7.2 Mbps download capabilities through High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) connections. Once the 7.2 Mbps HSDPA network is completely deployed around the country, F700 users will be able to download a 4-MB MP3 song in roughly four seconds, according to Samsung.
So by my reckoning, a 20Mb podcast would download in about 20 seconds. Radio is DEAD.

Welcome to anyone visiting here for the first time after hearing about podcasting on Jon Faine’s show this morning. Take a few minutes to check out some of the shows, listen to the other shows on The Podcast Network, and leave a comment, send me an email, whatever. Welcome to the future of media.
The show was fun. I’ve been down to the ABC/JJJ a few times now and I thought Jon was probably the most balanced of all of the interviews I’ve done on radio. Traditional radio jockeys and mainstream journos usually love to turn their noses up at “citizen media”, with an air of snotty superiority which is the pride coming before the fall. Jon wasn’t too bad though. After the show he commented that the ABC seems convinced that podcasting is the future and they aren’t throwing any more money at “this” (he waved a finger around the studio). I told him that he’s the last of an era. That seemed to get his back up a bit and he protested that more people than “EVER” will listen to the radio in the future and I didn’t have the heart to tell him that he’s dreaming.
James is a great guy. He was telling me afterwards over coffee about his recent launch of EduBlogs Premium, a commercial service he’s just launched for educational institutions that want to run their own blogging service. I’ll get him onto GW soon to chat about it in more detail. So much for James being the “anti” new media guy. 🙂
