Whoa! Mitch Ratcliffe, loaded to the gunnels with sarcasm, ripped the stuffing out of Adam Curry and to a lesser extent, Dave Winer, on the latest Web Talk Radio show/podcast (Feb. 12, 2005). In the show itself, Dana Greenlee is heard to remark "I hear he (ie: Curry) charges for meetings..."
Blogging after the fact, Mitch says:
"Apparently, I was too hard on Adam Curry during my appearance on WebTalk Radio last weekend. I was having some fun at the expense of the legend of the invention of podcasting, which involves a lot of credit being attributed to Curry and Dave Winer when, in fact, it was the result of a lot of incremental changes in production, hosting and syndication tools. Listeners objected..."
I have mixed feelings about Curry myself these days. He can be entertaining to listen to, but then there are programs where he is so clearly fogged by his latest score that I feel sorry for him and just click through to the next podcast. But is that not the beauty of the medium?
