Sentient Meat?

by cameron | Jul 9, 2006 | Uncategorized

Dave the Lifekludger sent me this short story by SF writer Terry Bisson "They’re Made Out Of Meat" after hearing me say on The Father Bob Show last week that I wanted to get rid of my meat body. This is a brilliant and hystericalÂ PKD-esque story about two aliens discussing humans, amazed that they have found sentient meat, which Bisson wrote for OMNI magazine in 1991. I’ve also found a short film someone has made based on the story up on YouTube and this 2004 interview with Bisson. The short story makes me want to get more of his work.

… you go interstate and forget your laptop power pack? If I’m offline for a while in the next 24 hours, you know why.

Bada Bing Bada Boom Amanda

by cameron | Jul 6, 2006 | Podcast, Uncategorized

Hard to come up with a funny title for this post. Of course the biggest news in podcasting today is that the pretty blonde goddess of the video podcast is parting ways with Rocketboom. Why? No-one really knows. But I guess it drives home to me a couple of points.

New media brands can come and go quickly.
What happens to the advertisers who had bought long-term contracts with Rocketboom?
Who is representing the new talent? Is there an agency yet set up to represent their interests? We need standard contracts, etc. Think Creative Commons for the talent.

Whoever picks up Amanda will have the same burst of attention that PodTech got when they hired Scoble (check out the pretty graph). Snapping her up and offering her something big was clever. I think. But although she is a huge property today, will she be huge tomorrow? I don’t know yet how much stock to put in the idea of talent in this world. In the days of yore, big names were partially big because their employers controlled the airwaves and could limit how many talents got a guernsey. It was limited supply. Carson was Carson, partly because he was a huge talent, but partly because he didn’t have much competition. Today competition is limitless. Talent? Well I’ve known lots of people in my time who were talented but didn’t have distribution. Today they can all have distribution if they want it. It’ll be fascinating to see how this all pans out over the next decade.Â

UPDATE: Andrew Baron’s (her partner) statement on why she left.

Meet Like You Mean It

by cameron | Jul 4, 2006 | Podcast, Uncategorized

Wayne Turmel is one of only a handful of TPN hosts that I have actually met in the flesh. When I was in NYC last year, Wayne and Scott Sherman managed to get themselves to NYC to have a drink (or two) with me, which was awfully nice of them.

Anyway, Wayne has written another book and it’s available today an e-book from his site. I’ve read it already and it’s terrific. It’s designed for those of you who spend your life in meetings. Fortunately for me, I am no longer one of those people but I feel your pain. I spent enough years in the corporate world to know what it’s like. This book will help you take control of the time spent in meetings which in turn will let you spend more time listening to podcasts on The Podcast Network. What more can you ask for?

As Wayne says:

Itâ€™s called â€œMeet Like You Mean Itâ€- a CrankyÂ Middle Managerâ€™s Guide to Productive and Painless Meetingsâ€.

The greatest praise and the biggest criticism Iâ€™ve heard are the same thing- it reads like the show sounds. One person called it â€œStanley Bing meets the Training Manualâ€. Hopefully youâ€™ll laugh, youâ€™ll definitely recognize yourself and others, and youâ€™ll find valuable tips for making your meetings less agonizing for you and your team.

Itâ€™s available now for download at the CMMÂ store on my website, http://www.achismarketing.com/Meetlikeyoumeanit.html.Â The cost is $7.97US, which if you figure the cost of a bad meeting, shows ROI pretty darn quickly.

Mr Long Tail on TPN

by cameron | Jul 4, 2006 | Podcast, Uncategorized

Ian Dixon had Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and author of the Long Tail Blog, on the most recent episode of The Media Center Show podcast. Definitely worth listening to if you’re interested in the business model of the long tail. Get it here. Lots of great examples and anecdotes. Great interview Ian!
