In this “On the Pod” episode we talk with Michael Pusateri, VP of Engineering at the Disney Channel.
I saw Michael at the 2004 O’Reilly’s eTech conference when he presented a great session on how the Disney Channel started using blogs, Wiki’s and RSS in his department close to two years ago. This is a great interview and it stil amazes me that an organisation as large as Disney was using this sort of technology that long ago in a real world situation.
We also touch on a few other areas that Michael has a personal interest in like MMORPG’s, Geocaching and Dr Pepper cans.
As usual…this is another “On the Pod” you don’t want to miss if you are trying to get blogs, wiki’s and RSS into your organisation.

I have had to skip a couple of shows to get this interview out that we did with Canadian blogger, Darren Barefoot, due to the fact that we touch on Northern Voice conference during the interview, and the conference is on this week 🙂
Darren does a heap of stuff…he works for Capulet Communications during the day, he started up Inside Blogging with Jeremy Wright, he was the other blogger that auctioned himself at eBay and importantly and he is one of the organisers of Northern Voice which is Canada’s first blogging conference that is being held in Vancouver on the 19th of February this year.
During this interview, we touch on Northern Voice and blogging conferences in general, gatherings of geeks, Nooked, RSS and the “process” at Inside Blogging.
Apologies for the quality in this one, but sometime Skype connections just don’t cut it 🙁
Darren’s one of the good guys out in the blogosphere so subscribe to our feed or just download the mp3…especially if you are heading up to the Conference.

Happy Valentine’s Day for 2005 everybody…the team here at G’day World hope you and your special someone have a great day.
A few weeks ago, we made an offer to anyone that wanted to record a special message for their valentine, that if they sent it in to us in time we would include it on a special release podcast…so…how many people went to the effort of putting a message together for their loved one???
You will just have to listen to find out…
by cameron | Feb 12, 2005 | Brisbane, Podcast
In our first “non-tech / non-geek” interview at G’day World be talk to US author, Staton Rabin.
Staton came to Cam’s attention because of a book she wrote called “Betsy and the Emperor”, a young adults book about a friendship between Napoleon and Betsy Balcombe, a fourteen year old who lived on the island of St. Helène where Napoleon was kept on after his capture by the British. For those that don’t know… Cam is a Napoleon buff. The cool thing about Staton’s book is that it has been picked up as a movie that will commence filming shortly and was going to star Anthony Hopkins at one stage and now has Al Pacino slated to play the lead role and Patrice Chereau
locked in as the Director.
Apart from writing, Staton works as a story analyst / screenwriter in New York and has worked on a number of successful film adaptations.
An interesting interview on an interesting topic…
