Okay, so this is not MTV... Thank goodness for that.

As a special Easter bonus here's a little video introducing you to the fun of podcasting. It's the Making of Bradcast 5. Sorry, available in WMV format only.

See you next week.

Well it's finally available. Bradcast Number 3 is here.

It's taken me two weeks and multiple recording sessions to get it down to these 56.5 minutes. I haven't been particularly impressed with some of podcasting's luminati recently -- no doubt you will hear that in the tone. I talk about Apple, my new Ipod and re-visit some thoughts that were also discussed in another podcast by Effern and Doc Searls. If nothing else I think you will really like listening to Christa Couture. Let me know what you think.

Here are the show notes:

0:00   "Potty Mouth" and the Intro
1:23   Podcasting Disclaimer". Just in case your impressions and reality are 2 different things.
1:48   Theme credits
3:48    Podcast Koolaid - Why are so many prominent podcasters jumping the shark? Comments from me and reference to a Doc Searls entry: "And that fight starts in our own minds, and in our own speech."
7:16    Listener Email. Podcast listenership and bad stereo. Thank you to "Pben" and Doug Kaye
12:54  The Mac Mini. I'm not impressed yet -- and yes we do have an Apple G4 PowerBook in our toolkit.
19:24  About the Ipod "Special Edition U2". The good and the bad about the Ipod and Itunes. Musings on the disconnect between Microsoft, Apple, music and my desktop.
32:56  Bono wants to play with the Ipod design team. Can he fix the interface? How about the dismal ID3 tagging on "The Complete U2

The technology behind podcasting is so ordinary that my 83 year old father -- who has never used a computer and worked in radio for 40 years -- can understand it. That's why podcasting represents a revolution in media content delivery. Podcasting is not just the "it" technology of the moment. It's not PointCast or streaming or Flash or a meme. Podcasting is not just a technology. It is a technology married to an installed base. If this was 1930 and somebody had shipped 10 million radios as record players over the previous 5 years and then discovered they could also be used for listening to broadcast voice and music... Well that's podcasting. Only now we're looking at an installed base of any thing that can play an MP3 or an Ogg Vorbis. That's millions of potential listeners.
