Link to the Show / Show NotesThe on-the-spotters and rapid reporters have already told you how great the Podcast and Portable Media Expo was this past weekend (Sept 29 & 30, 2006). Best general re-cap is available from Leesa Barnes -- who I'm making my "most important podcaster I did not meet". (Expect an email soon Leesa...)
I went with a sense of irreverence -- don't worry I still have it -- but also picked up some great vibes around podcast commercialization, specialization and pure podcast passion.
So; is podcasting disco? I was glad to see that a group at the show had picked up on a thought I had some time ago to create "podcasting sucks" t-shirts -- everybody got a laugh out of it and we need to be laughing. It was Trucker Tom Wiles though who has really articulated what we all hope is the best metaphor for podcasting. Tom says that podcasting is more like email than disco.
That's the difference between history and trivia. Listen to his chat with the inimitable Michael Zwerling on Tom's episode 382 and you'll get the whole American philosopher buzz around Tom. (Update: Tom sent me a link to the show)
