Feet accomplished 
| | Made it to Boston. Working in my hotel room and listening to Guest Mix on WUMB, the all-folk station here. Maybe the only one anywhere. The guest is Eric Andersen, who is providing an extraordinarily informative commentary to selections by Fred Neil, Charlie Parker and others. Boston has the best pubic radio in the country, and it's fun to rediscover that every time I return. |
| | Now I'm over at WERS, listening to program called All A Capella. Specifically, "Bless the Broken Road" by Brandeis Voicemale, the wesite tells me. Outstanding stuff. |
| | I was listening at 88.9FM on a portable radio, but switched over to the laptop, where I'm listening at http://wers.org/wers.pls. A couple days ago Zadi Diaz told a bunch of us at NPR that something like 80% of some video blogs are watched on cell phones. (Correction.) That's the next step for radio. Makes me wonder how much longer we'll need AM and FM transmitters. |
| | In the networked world, local is where you come from and who you do it for. Not how how far your signal goes. Because it won't be a signal any more. It'll all be files and streams. |
| | Now WERS is playing "Supersitition" by Ball in the House. My feet are dancing under the desk. |
Forpodplay
| | Listening to Dave's podcast about the public radio talk he'll be giving in Boston this Thursday. It's billed as a conversation, but the stage will be Dave's. What he needs to say is important. I have other opportunities to do my own talking during the week (and other times, such as last week at NPR in D.C.). |
| | Homework: take a look at public stations' websites and ask where they'd be without RSS and podcasting. Ask where they'll be with it. And think about now many more "stations" there will be because of both. |
Remaking sausage
| | PPTexchange is a market for used PowerPoint presentations. Yes, it's come to that. |
