Podcasting

- the best part is "you can hear the humanity"
- Adam puts up his code! Amazing what a motivated user can do!

- public radio legend, tony - very personal, will podcasting be really different in terms of the kind of relationship, should public radio be lookiing at this?
- dave winer - new york times will have a blog with reverse chrono, public radio will distribute radio stories from amateur space
- dw - blogosphere carries message of podcasting

  - podcasting = infinite channels, bandwidth is meaningless, unlimited producers,
  - so people could listen to google's call

- user: start thinking about how you are going to plug yourself into people's lives
- joseph palmer: audio is different for things other than text, pacing and timing
- adam: we've been conditioned and forgotten what audio's all about, lots to relearn
- andy abramson - who's listening, need the right 10 or 10000
  - we will see corrrection and accuraccy that the media doesn't have
