Delta Sierra Charlie 362, the hip hop edition.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Hmm.

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000
I like my Charlie's served up.

00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
GoDaddy?

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Don't come.

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Sixty million dollars worth of airplane strapped to my ass.

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Then the next generation radio content in my ears.

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I like to think I'm flying into the future.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000

More hip hop on the way.

23
00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:35,360
I'm of a different variety which, you'll just have to stay tuned for, it is Wednesday,

24
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,400
everybody.

25
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,400
It's a special day.

26
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,660
Today, we're going to be testing our golden ticket enterprise contest

27
00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:48,140
challenge systemology architecture or something like that. So that means that

28
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:53,140
you might not even be hearing the show. Stuff might have already broken. Who knows this so many

29
00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:56,580
different things that could go wrong with this home in a second. I'm still adjusting all

30
00:05:56,580 --> 00:06:01,700
the knobs here, getting everything all straightened up. I'm going to try and keep it

31
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:05,460
relatively short today because all kinds of stuff going on here at the cottage. Remember

32
00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:09,860
we're leaving on Friday for vacation going to Portugal and just getting there is

33
00:06:09,860 --> 00:06:14,340
being turning out to be quite a trip by itself. You know, we were able to get

34
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:17,820
lodging. We were able to get some flights, but the flights don't actually originate

35
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:23,420
from Gatwick. So I'm trying to arrange a aircraft that will support the three of us

36
00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:27,620
and our two large banks. I don't know if that's going to work. We might turn out

37
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:33,940
just driving to the nearest airport. So as I said, lots of stuff to plan and

38
00:06:33,940 --> 00:06:39,380
and to get prepared for and that's all home. And it's just much to do. It's

39
00:06:39,460 --> 00:06:43,220
going to be very hard for me to switch off. Let me tell you 10 days. It's going to be

40
00:06:43,220 --> 00:06:47,300
beautiful though in the in the Algarve in Portugal. I haven't checked the weather

41
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:50,020
report, but hopefully it's a little better than here in the UK. Although it's not

42
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:54,100
cold. It's like 12 13 degrees. So it's nice. It's kind of grayish outside. No blue

43
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:59,700
skies. No no son. No win for that matter either. But we've got a full Charlie lined

44
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:03,940
up for you with some interesting things. And although I don't have a

45
00:07:03,940 --> 00:07:07,780
metro sexual moment keyed up for you because I'm not going to be able to do it today,

46
00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:12,420
I did not want to withhold this wonderful piece of feedback for you or from you. Hi,

47
00:07:12,420 --> 00:07:18,820
this is Carrie Anne from the class on laptop.com. And this is airdry. Airdry has a problem.

48
00:07:18,820 --> 00:07:23,940
I have a problem with Adam Curry. You seem to think about him a lot, airdry. I think about

49
00:07:23,940 --> 00:07:29,620
him a lot. And Adam, it hasn't gotten any better this week when you started talking about

50
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:37,460
your never regions. You need to stop talking about those. It's driving me crazy like I can't

51
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:42,980
sleep. Yeah. It's interfering with the work. It's interfering with everything, really.

52
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:51,220
Thank you, Adam. Lip gloss. Lip gloss and laptop.com. There you go. It's a pretty good show.

53
00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:56,820
I've been trying to get them signed to the Pod Show podcast network. I don't know if

54
00:07:56,820 --> 00:08:00,900
we's connected yet or where we are in the process because Richard Bruer Hay takes care of all that.

55
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:03,780
That's the lime. The limey fellow you might speak to on the phone.

56
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:11,380
And yesterday, it started probably around 11 o'clock. I started getting messages and comments on

57
00:08:11,380 --> 00:08:16,500
Curry.com and all kinds of trackbacks and pingbacks and flatbacks and Apple Jax.

58
00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:21,940
About this show called Keith and the Girl. Keith and the Girl are a podcast that

59
00:08:23,540 --> 00:08:27,220
definitely have had my eye on for a while. They've been podcasting for quite a while now. I think

60
00:08:27,220 --> 00:08:32,820
they're close to, well, no, I know exactly. They have 247 or I guess today 2408 episodes.

61
00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:37,540
Never really been able to enter into a dialogue with them. Although we just kind of started an email

62
00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:43,860
conversation. I only have one email address forum and only got one reply and just in the past

63
00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:48,500
a week or so, actually. Now, before we could continue that dialogue at all,

64
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:56,180
someone apparently sent them a Pod Show contract. Now, this can only be from a handful of people.

65
00:08:56,180 --> 00:09:00,820
So, it's not that hard to trace back. But apparently someone who decided not to sign with Pod

66
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:06,500
sent a contract that was meant for them to Keith and the Girl. And Keith and the Girl

67
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:11,780
did something really amazing. They read entire portions of the contract, including all the

68
00:09:11,780 --> 00:09:16,980
legalese on their show and commented on it. And although I was surprised that anyone would do this,

69
00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:24,820
I was completely blown away by the entertainment value of this. It's, I wish all my contract

70
00:09:24,820 --> 00:09:28,980
readings were like that where you could have just laughed at it and have fun and joke around.

71
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:33,940
And you can imagine that there's all kinds of calls now in the Pottersphere and the

72
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:41,780
Bloggersphere and Pod Show. What is your response to this? Well, you can imagine this was

73
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:46,580
this kind of, you can imagine that this was like, whoa, what's going on here?

74
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:54,500
For two at a sleeve, Michael Butler, the Rock and Roll Geek had his recording gear at Pod Show HQ

75
00:09:55,380 --> 00:10:04,820
when the shit hit the fan. And now for another exciting episode of the Pod Show evil contracts.

76
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:10,660
Boy, I could use a beer, but it's almost midnight and I still have to get 10 more unsuspecting

77
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:17,860
podcasts that's the sign of way their souls before I can go home. Oh, no. Richard,

78
00:10:17,860 --> 00:10:24,420
Adam and Ron once you in the chamber. In the chamber? And you better hurry up, I don't think

79
00:10:24,420 --> 00:10:32,260
they're in a good mood. Who is it? It's me, boss. Enter. Stay right there. Listen, Bill,

80
00:10:32,260 --> 00:10:38,100
get that Pod Show content on the top 10 list or you'll never release a Vista. What is it, Rosie?

81
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:44,100
I have Richard for you. Richard, Ron and I have been reviewing your work and we're wondering if you

82
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:50,340
are really dedicated to Pod Show. Why, boss? Well, your signings are beneath quota this month.

83
00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:55,060
I'm doing everything I can. We sign hundreds of shows. It's not enough.

84
00:10:55,060 --> 00:10:58,980
Adam's right. We need big shows. We need big stars. How about,

85
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:03,620
how about, what's his name and that chick? Why am I just signed them?

86
00:11:03,620 --> 00:11:08,100
Boss, I think you mean Keith and the girl. We haven't signed them because they hate us. Have you heard

87
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:14,660
their latest show? They spend the entire time crashing us. How could they hate us? We are Pod Show.

88
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:18,580
Let me hear that show. Here, boss, put on these phones.

89
00:11:18,580 --> 00:11:20,740
Bist weekend.

90
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:32,020
I don't know, man. I think they like us. They think we suck. They say we are evil and they say we're

91
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:37,700
the devil. I don't know. I think this shows funny. Maybe they don't understand us. Anyway,

92
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:42,100
I like the girl. Adam, maybe we can break them up. How about Adam and the girl?

93
00:11:42,180 --> 00:11:46,660
Think you'll go for it? Yeah, like the sound of that. Adam and the girl.

94
00:11:48,660 --> 00:11:52,340
Sounds good. I don't think that's a good idea. They hate us.

95
00:11:52,340 --> 00:11:55,940
H mate. They just don't understand us. Have we ever spoken with them?

96
00:11:55,940 --> 00:12:01,060
No, really. We've tried. Did they know any of us? No, really. They just slam the contract and slam

97
00:12:01,060 --> 00:12:06,260
us all the time. So, with no real reason, no real communication. They just make their own opinions

98
00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:11,380
and pull them out of their asses. Well, yes. And they build their audience by putting down Pod Show

99
00:12:11,380 --> 00:12:16,660
and other podcasts. Yes. We promote them on our site. We promote them in our shows. Yep.

100
00:12:16,660 --> 00:12:21,620
And for this, they stab us in the back. Yes, again. These are my kind of people. Are they

101
00:12:21,620 --> 00:12:26,100
former entertainment industry executives? No, they're comedians. All same difference. What do you think,

102
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:29,620
Adam? Let me get this straight. They don't know us. They haven't worked with us. We promote them.

103
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:34,500
They trash us. Then they think other people are dumb enough to work with us if we own everything

104
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:38,340
and give them nothing. I guess so. Let's get them. If they're making a living by

105
00:12:38,340 --> 00:12:43,140
trashing us, the least they can do is come and talk to us. Right, Adam. Rosie. Send a limo.

106
00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:48,420
They're in New York. Okay. Send the jet. We don't own a jet. Okay. Call our legal department.

107
00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:53,140
We don't have a legal department. No, legal department. Which asshole wrote this contract?

108
00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:57,700
You did bust a little. Oh. Well, what's the problem? They think we sign people up for life.

109
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:01,780
Own everything and don't make anyone any money. And your point is, they think we're like a

110
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:06,100
record label. Well, in that case, they're idiots. I want them. Yeah. Let's get a Richard.

111
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:09,940
What should I do? Bring them to San Francisco. Let's talk to him directly. They'll never come.

112
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:15,700
In that case, maybe they are the devil. Maybe they want to keep podcasting for themselves.

113
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:21,220
Yeah, podcasting for themselves. Maybe they're jealous of Dean and Drew. Don't entrue us.

114
00:13:21,220 --> 00:13:26,420
Dean, Don, whatever. Just get them. Bring us, Keith and the girl. Okay, boss. I'm on it.

115
00:13:27,380 --> 00:13:31,860
Ryan, Mr. Johnson, line one. Tell them to hold. Get Keith and the chicken on the line.

116
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:34,580
Yeah. And Rosie? Yeah, boss. Rimshot, please.

117
00:13:37,060 --> 00:13:42,100
Keith, Camda, your insightful review of our business and console support are truly innovative.

118
00:13:42,980 --> 00:13:48,180
Adam myself and our entire family would like to invite you to come out to San Francisco. We'd

119
00:13:48,180 --> 00:13:53,460
like to make you an offer. You can't refuse. Richard will be in touch. Great.

120
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:56,820
Hey, we're a bunch of actors, huh?

121
00:13:56,900 --> 00:14:04,660
Thanks to Michael, Rosie, Richard, Ron, the Pacho players.

122
00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:10,340
And Marc Yoshimara, an MCoff for the late night work, trying to get that all together the last minute.

123
00:14:10,340 --> 00:14:15,140
All right. There you go. The offer does stand, though. And it's for our nickel, no problem.

124
00:14:16,420 --> 00:14:20,500
You're still tuned to the Daily Source code. Greetings, Mr. Curry. To you and to all the

125
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:25,700
residents of the Delta Sierra Charlie Nation. I'm very pleased to inform you that you're site,

126
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:32,100
Curry.com, has been selected to be linked from the big giant button on March 29, 2006.

127
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:37,300
So you're probably asking, what does this mean? Well, it means that anyone who goes to big

128
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:43,460
giantbutton.com on March 29th and presses the biggest button on the internet will be sent immediately

129
00:14:43,460 --> 00:14:49,860
to your site. Why your site? Every day we link the big giant button to something we like.

130
00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:56,660
And Adam, we like you. I hope you and some of your listeners will check out big giantbutton.com.

131
00:14:56,660 --> 00:15:00,260
Starting March 27th, we'll be linking to a new site every single day.

132
00:15:00,980 --> 00:15:06,580
Visit the big giantbutton. Press it and see what happens. Take care, Adam, and keep up

133
00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:11,780
the great work with your podcast and with Pacho. Yeah, so I'm just realizing I'm a total

134
00:15:11,780 --> 00:15:16,260
torque. I should have played that one yesterday. Now I'm not getting the benefits of you going to

135
00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:24,980
the big giantbutton. I was going to say tap that button for me, baby. Damn. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay,

136
00:15:24,980 --> 00:15:31,220
here pop on the way and a couple other interesting promos for you. And something that I promised

137
00:15:31,220 --> 00:15:36,580
you today, a brand new experiment. Hey, Adam, it's Ilya Koja of here. I want to if you're

138
00:15:36,580 --> 00:15:41,380
Russian listeners. I know I'm not a chick, so you won't enjoy my accent that much, but anyway,

139
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:47,220
I just listened to Charlie 361. It took me three times to listen to that. He said,

140
00:15:47,220 --> 00:15:54,180
I know I'm not a chick, so you make a lot of listen to me. And two things popped into my mind.

141
00:15:54,180 --> 00:15:58,660
First of all, the golden ticket. Actually, it is possible to find it without listening to every

142
00:15:58,660 --> 00:16:03,620
episode. Basically, it took a pair of the file sizes. Or if you're listening to some of

143
00:16:03,620 --> 00:16:07,940
tech savvy, they can compare the Czech sounds. And unfortunately, and I'm defying Czech

144
00:16:07,940 --> 00:16:13,300
some of a DSE with a golden ticket, we'll never be the same as DSE without it. Second is

145
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:18,340
more like a question about the pot to more besides you mentioned earlier. But the way I have nothing

146
00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:22,980
to do with it, I'm just someone who likes to question things out here. I don't know how it works,

147
00:16:22,980 --> 00:16:28,820
but what if instead of inserting the ad directly into the DSE file, they inserted to the playlist,

148
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:35,940
you see what I mean? Just like we now, or your iTunes party shuffle, they will not modify any

149
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:42,420
of the three, they just play an MP3 ad and then a podcast. Well, it will be legal. For example,

150
00:16:42,420 --> 00:16:47,380
if users hit a play on an empty playlist, it will still play an ad because it's already there,

151
00:16:47,380 --> 00:16:52,740
but fault in the application. Just some food for thoughts. Anyway, great shows and those video

152
00:16:52,740 --> 00:16:57,060
and yeah, yeah, those video and yeah. And I really, I played the whole comment. First, I love

153
00:16:57,060 --> 00:17:02,500
it when just listeners check in, you know, that's so cool. We got lots of podcasts with checking

154
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:06,980
a bit listeners. I really love hearing from listeners who aren't podcasting yet or necessarily.

155
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:13,700
Regarding the pod to mob, so they definitely got the, they got, they got my message at least.

156
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:18,500
I sent them an email to, they did not respond to that. So not only are they're not running ads

157
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:21,700
in front of my show, I've been removed from the entire directory and the show doesn't exist.

158
00:17:23,540 --> 00:17:28,660
And I think the debate is, it's pretty good. There's an ongoing conversation. You can

159
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:33,380
catch some of that at curry.com and it's a tech and rotty probably is picked up on it by now.

160
00:17:33,940 --> 00:17:37,780
And I think that those guys just made an honest mistake. That's what I truly believe.

161
00:17:38,340 --> 00:17:42,820
Now, back to the golden ticket. So here is the concept. We have this technology we've developed

162
00:17:42,820 --> 00:17:48,260
called D-Gap, dynamically generated asset placement. And what this enabled, actually you've probably

163
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:52,740
you've already witnessed it. If you're listening to the show, when I started recording,

164
00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:56,820
all I do is I say, you know, Delta shared Charlie 362 and, you know, and that's enough.

165
00:17:57,780 --> 00:18:02,340
But when you hear the show, you hear things like a 10-second tag, promoting our GoDaddy,

166
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:08,660
one message many voices campaign, which points to this show or whatever show you're listening to.

167
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:11,940
And it alerts you to the fact that there's something coming up in a code that you want to

168
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:17,620
take advantage of to get some great discounts. And the cool thing about it is we have podcasters

169
00:18:17,620 --> 00:18:21,700
creating their own messaging for their own audiences. Okay, that's another conversation.

170
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:25,700
But with this technology, we can do a whole bunch of interesting things. So the concept for the golden

171
00:18:25,780 --> 00:18:36,420
ticket, I mean, the golden ticket is very simple. For one of the downloads of this Charlie,

172
00:18:36,420 --> 00:18:41,700
of this show only, not of the archives, only for this show. And one time only, if all goes

173
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:46,580
according to plan, I know Andrew Grummit is sitting there with a moist ass, hoping that all goes well

174
00:18:46,580 --> 00:18:50,980
because you're not been working on this. He's in all the programming and all the scheduling and

175
00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:55,540
all the stuff and got it all set up and we did a test yesterday and it worked. But this should be

176
00:18:55,540 --> 00:19:02,820
one download of this particular daily source code podcast, which will contain a special audio

177
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:10,180
message with a way for the recipient of that to contact me with the special phrase, the phrase

178
00:19:10,180 --> 00:19:17,860
that pays everybody. And if they do contact me with the correct phrase, they will win the key

179
00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:25,140
span audio video dock for the iPod plus the audio video RF remote courtesy of keyspan and

180
00:19:25,140 --> 00:19:31,300
our very own Sam Levin who scammed that for this test. Now, this is not a contest, this is a test,

181
00:19:31,300 --> 00:19:36,500
it's beta, it's completely beta. So anything could happen, it could break 8 million people could win.

182
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:40,820
I've only got one key span dock if it all blows up and we'll just have to call it a wash, okay?

183
00:19:41,860 --> 00:19:45,940
But I think it will actually work. Now, what's going to happen? I just have to pay attention to the

184
00:19:45,940 --> 00:19:52,020
time here. Let me see. I've got to jot down this time, hold on a second. So,

185
00:19:53,220 --> 00:20:01,620
19 minutes and 35 seconds into the show. If you heard nothing different than you, you didn't win.

186
00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:09,300
One of you's heard a special message, which is inserted in that split second at 19 minutes and 35 seconds.

187
00:20:10,260 --> 00:20:14,900
Those of you listening to us on a serious star's 102, sorry, this doesn't work for you,

188
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:19,060
but you could still go home, download this podcast from dailysourcecode.com.

189
00:20:19,060 --> 00:20:23,460
Better get subscribed to it. There's all kinds of information about how you can subscribe to podcast

190
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:30,500
and get them automatically. So, you still, yeah, I've once got a chance.

191
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:35,300
And in fact, what could happen and this would be kind of funky is I could even download my own show

192
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:39,780
and I could win the prize, which of course would mean that we have to repurpose it. So anyway,

193
00:20:39,860 --> 00:20:46,820
hopefully everything will go okay. And as our Russian comrade pointed out there, yes, there are many,

194
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:53,540
we've taken a lot of the spoofing and scamming things into account. But yeah, in general,

195
00:20:53,540 --> 00:21:00,260
there's no real good way to hide the winning ticket. Of course, if it's just an open contest,

196
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:04,340
if you're a registered listener, well, that would be a whole different story and that would

197
00:21:04,340 --> 00:21:08,980
probably work very, very well. And in the future, we can do this across multiple podcasts.

198
00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:12,900
And I think we can have a lot of fun with it. So tomorrow, hopefully, we'll have a winner

199
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:21,300
and we'll know if our test was successful or not. Oh, hello Adam, it's Cali from Geek Briefman.

200
00:21:21,860 --> 00:21:28,340
I want to touch your penis. All right, just kidding, it's magic. I just had to say something to get

201
00:21:28,340 --> 00:21:33,620
you to play my goddamn prom, not prom or comment, because you never play my shit anymore Adams

202
00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:41,940
Curry and people complain, oh, fuck, never mind. Listen, I heard you're having this golden ticket

203
00:21:41,940 --> 00:21:49,380
contest, which I think is a phenomenal idea. So phenomenal, in fact, that I'm having a similar

204
00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:55,380
contest on yeast radio. Unfortunately, however, for your audience, it's already finished.

205
00:21:55,380 --> 00:22:02,500
But the good news is, Adams Curry, you won. I'm having a very similar contest. It's called the

206
00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:07,540
Golden Shower contest. And you, one, Adams Curry, and I'm going to take a piss on you. I'm

207
00:22:07,540 --> 00:22:20,420
going to pee on your face. Do you believe anything is possible? We do. Where are flink?

212
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:51,780
Hi, Adam. This is John from Seattle, Washington, USA. You recently expressed a wish for listeners,

213
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:59,060
not just podcasters to send you audio comments. So, here you go. I'm a relatively new listener,

214
00:22:59,140 --> 00:23:02,340
and I've been hooked since the first show I listened to several weeks ago.

215
00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:09,460
Until then, I had heard about podcasts, but like many people, really didn't pay much attention to them.

216
00:23:10,660 --> 00:23:17,140
Then a week ago, or so, I got it in my head that an internet radio show would be a fun hobby

217
00:23:17,140 --> 00:23:24,500
and began researching. Well, I quickly learned that my basic idea for a show was way out of my

218
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:29,540
reach due to licensing fees from me as a coasting fees, et cetera, you know, the story.

219
00:23:30,340 --> 00:23:36,980
So, when a friend reminded me of podcasts, I started researching and of course, your name came up all

220
00:23:36,980 --> 00:23:43,300
over the internet. I remembered your name from my formative years as a teenager watching MTV in the 80s.

221
00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:49,300
Yeah, I know, scary, isn't it? And I just had to get an aggregator and check out your show.

222
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:54,260
I was hooked. I'm currently touring with the idea of doing a podcast of my own,

223
00:23:54,260 --> 00:23:58,900
but having a difficult time figuring out the things that I'm passionate enough about,

224
00:23:58,900 --> 00:24:04,420
to do a show on. So, for now, I am exploring the world of podcasts as a listener

225
00:24:04,420 --> 00:24:09,780
and waiting for them used to strike. I figure I should keep this short in case you decide to

226
00:24:09,780 --> 00:24:16,100
air this. I love the Charlie, and I look forward to many more. I have some more questions and comments

227
00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:23,380
to send you about podcasting and other topics mentioned on the Charlie. But I'll save those for another

228
00:24:23,380 --> 00:24:30,580
time. I hope you enjoyed this audio comment. You know, someone should really coin a name for these things,

229
00:24:30,580 --> 00:24:39,620
like, podment or audio meant audio comment. It's just mental, blah. Anyway, I look forward to

230
00:24:39,620 --> 00:24:44,580
sending you more. Talk for now. And bye everybody on the saddle. Bye.

231
00:24:46,580 --> 00:24:50,580
Those of you still with us on the podcast. Thank you very much for hanging out. Just a couple more

232
00:24:50,580 --> 00:24:53,780
things before we get out of here. Probably at the end of each episode, although no one was

233
00:24:53,780 --> 00:25:05,620
really commented on it. You've heard this, uh, this jingle. So, who is the man behind the code?

234
00:25:05,940 --> 00:25:11,540
Who is the illustrious cast blaster Mike? Well, it took a priest to figure it out.

235
00:25:11,540 --> 00:25:17,700
Cast blaster Mike needed some time alone. He needed focus and concentration for his programming.

236
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:22,980
So he rented a cottage in the middle of the woods. When I, uh, has this called things to program,

237
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:30,020
I usually retire to the woods and so I can fully concentrate. Finally, people would leave him alone

238
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:36,260
so he could work on cast blaster. Hey, Mike. I heard you were camping out here in the neighborhood

239
00:25:36,260 --> 00:25:42,740
of where I live. So I thought I would say hello. So we sat down and talked and talked about Adam Curry

240
00:25:42,740 --> 00:25:47,300
and his own special way of podcasting. You know, when when Patricia walks in with a couple of

241
00:25:47,300 --> 00:25:51,940
tea, he immediately, you know, switches on a second microphone. He says, just sit down and we'll talk a

242
00:25:51,940 --> 00:25:57,220
little bit and improvise. He just goes to make a cup of coffee. Yeah, he just wants to see. I'm just

243
00:25:57,220 --> 00:26:08,100
going to walk away. I'll be back. It comes back here, like, but do you, do you find that

244
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:15,700
of the way? No, no, no. It's funny. About the first idea for cast blaster. One part guess I will never

245
00:26:15,700 --> 00:26:25,540
forget is that he was to the BBC in London and on his way back to the cottage. He made his show

246
00:26:25,620 --> 00:26:34,820
in his car. In the car. Yeah. But he did that with, I think, a CD player, an MP3 recorder. I

247
00:26:34,820 --> 00:26:42,820
think the I River and a separate mic and all kind of wires and it wasn't mess. And really difficult.

248
00:26:42,820 --> 00:26:49,300
And very dangerous. Every day you scroll. Yeah. I thought, well, if he takes a laptop with him

249
00:26:49,300 --> 00:26:55,380
and a little program, it should be a lot easier. So I wrote what later would be called cast blaster.

250
00:26:55,540 --> 00:27:00,900
Within an hour I had to reply like, this is what we need. About the future of podcasting and the

251
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:06,980
pot show delivery network. I listened to recently to an interview with Adam and with Ron Bloom on

252
00:27:06,980 --> 00:27:12,180
podcast for one while and they were talking about their overall vision. It was the very first time

253
00:27:12,180 --> 00:27:19,460
that I really started to grasp this whole idea of it's not just about some kind of way to commercially

254
00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:25,380
link podcasting to advertisers. Way bigger than that. It's creating some kind of platform

255
00:27:25,380 --> 00:27:30,980
that helps podcasters create an audience and gather an audience. And I'll start it out as a

256
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:37,940
technical solution to a problem. And it has turned into a social thing. If you want to join us in

257
00:27:37,940 --> 00:27:44,100
mic's cottage and hear more, listen to the latest episodes of the Daily Breakfast at daily Breakfast.com.

258
00:27:45,060 --> 00:27:49,540
The illustrious father, Roderick. Yeah. So if you want to know the Genesis of cast blaster and how

259
00:27:49,540 --> 00:27:54,900
products like that come to life, that was a complete internet enterprise really how that worked.

260
00:27:54,900 --> 00:28:00,580
And it's a beautiful story. I realize the problem will contain a lot about me. But that's

261
00:28:00,580 --> 00:28:05,060
really the Genesis of cast blaster. It's cool to hear what cast blaster class need pop flessy.

262
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:11,860
Cast blaster mic is all about. Okay, a couple things to wrap it up. First of all, sad news. Very,

263
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:18,420
very sad news. One of my favorite UK podcast, although not really a UK podcast. But that I listened to,

264
00:28:18,420 --> 00:28:25,300
to learn about British culture was the I miss blighty podcast. It shut down, which really sucks.

265
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:30,100
The host of the show works for broadcast. I can't say too much about it. Nor does he on this final

266
00:28:30,100 --> 00:28:38,340
episode. But the host of the show works for broadcast organization and they took issue with his podcast.

267
00:28:38,900 --> 00:28:43,620
And so I guess they've affected, he's shutting down before they shut him down. I believe. And I just

268
00:28:43,620 --> 00:28:49,300
wanted to say, I'm really going to miss you, dude, because all those little Angloisms that you would

269
00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:53,060
talk about, they're very helpful for me to understand the culture here. And it's funny how that

270
00:28:53,060 --> 00:28:57,780
works. You know, when someone is away from the country and they talk about the country, they really

271
00:28:57,780 --> 00:29:03,380
hit on a lot of topics that are often overlooked just in conversation in the country itself. So sad

272
00:29:03,380 --> 00:29:09,300
day for that. Regarding the Gmail issue that I've been having some good news there, I received a

273
00:29:10,020 --> 00:29:14,340
I received a Gmail from Danny, he says Google has a solution coming up for the issue. That's basically

274
00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:19,940
of my drive filling up completely or my space filling up on Gmail. The solutions for business

275
00:29:19,940 --> 00:29:24,980
users currently, I'm in a beta test with Google, whereby I modified my domain name's MX records. That's

276
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:30,420
basically, I remember I told you it's so good to have a domain name. Get yours now at godaddy.com

277
00:29:30,420 --> 00:29:34,980
because you can change your MX records to have any email service work with your own domain name.

278
00:29:36,340 --> 00:29:42,980
Use code DSC one and get some kind of groovy discount. So he pointed those towards Google servers once

279
00:29:42,980 --> 00:29:48,820
Google verified the ownership he's now able to use the Google UI to read his own domain mail.

280
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:53,140
Where of course you can have terabytes of space if you want to. Of course this only helps

281
00:29:53,140 --> 00:29:58,820
folks with a domain, but doesn't include support for hosted accounts such as GoDaddy. There you go.

282
00:29:58,900 --> 00:30:02,260
Fantastic. So I'm very happy about that because I think that is indeed

283
00:30:02,980 --> 00:30:08,500
the solution. I'm not quite sure how they how they index it though. I guess they have to have access to your

284
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:16,260
no wait a minute. Well, I don't know. We'll find out. But because if you point your MX records somewhere else,

285
00:30:16,260 --> 00:30:21,300
then the files are going to the email is going to go somewhere else. Anyway, so I suppose the way it

286
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:25,620
works is you get the Google user interface, which I like so much. It better have the search in there.

287
00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:29,700
If it doesn't have the search in it, I mean, this search-based email really, really works for me.

288
00:30:30,500 --> 00:30:33,300
You know, whenever I say, oh, I remember there's some email I was supposed to look at something,

289
00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:36,260
you know, you can enter just a couple of keywords and usually you'll find it on the first hit.

290
00:30:36,260 --> 00:30:42,500
Google Gmail fantastic for that. But I would like to be able to utilize my own disk space. So if that's possible,

291
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:50,500
that'll be fantastic. One more here from Ellie Renner. Comment or mention that maybe you could have Uncle

292
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:59,380
Jesse. Wait, did someone say Uncle Jesse? Yeah, I don't know if he died. He's coming off. He's kind of

293
00:30:59,380 --> 00:31:06,740
sued on. He's a Justin stuff. He's a sad-lap repair man coming after you. Sad-lap repair man,

294
00:31:06,740 --> 00:31:11,620
what's he gonna do? He'll fit your misconceptions and answer questions too.

295
00:31:12,020 --> 00:31:16,900
Nothing in the universe and he can't do for you. Sad-lap repair man.

296
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:21,380
Sad-lap repair man. Yeah.

297
00:31:24,260 --> 00:31:29,700
So a comment or mention that maybe you could have Uncle Jesse come up with a best of show

298
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:34,020
for days that you're on a way on vacation. Along lines of user-generated content.

299
00:31:34,820 --> 00:31:39,300
In fact, Ellie says, why not let your listeners do it. Just give us a few guidelines,

300
00:31:39,300 --> 00:31:43,540
length, for example. And then sit back and wait. As your talented audience cobbles together,

301
00:31:43,540 --> 00:31:48,580
their favorite moments from the Delta Sierra Charlie, you would still have full editorial control.

302
00:31:48,580 --> 00:31:53,620
But hey, sounds like a win-win to me. Well, what do I think? Ellie from, what do you

303
00:31:54,100 --> 00:32:03,220
did? I'm sorry. It's WTFWJD.com. Nice. I think that's an excellent idea.

304
00:32:03,220 --> 00:32:12,420
And we should calm the box. Best of Charlie's the box. So what would I need? Let me get the trusty

305
00:32:12,420 --> 00:32:17,780
blackberry here. Let me look at the calendar. Oh, I missed a call already. Okay. Shit, there was a

306
00:32:18,420 --> 00:32:25,140
charter plane call. Okay. Let me see. So I'm gone from the, so I need,

307
00:32:25,940 --> 00:32:33,460
this April right three, one, two, three, so I need five. I'd only need seven shows

308
00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:38,180
because although we return on the 10th, we're going to, it'll be actually the 11th before

309
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:43,780
back in the cottage. Yeah. So I would need seven shows. Can we do seven shows? That will be

310
00:32:43,860 --> 00:32:49,060
completely awesome. Let's, you know, the best way to cut down the work for PDAB is if you can

311
00:32:49,060 --> 00:32:54,900
actually make him 24 minutes and 30 seconds with the best of bits. I think that would be fantastic.

312
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:59,380
I can't give PDAB any more work to edit stuff together. But yeah, if you want to create a show

313
00:32:59,380 --> 00:33:04,020
and please don't email it to me, put it up on a server so we can grab it and then we'll give you

314
00:33:04,020 --> 00:33:09,060
full credit for putting the box together. That would be fantastic. I would love it. It'd be great

315
00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:16,420
for the satellite folks, too. So please, yes, fantastic idea. And finally, yesterday I played a promo

316
00:33:16,420 --> 00:33:23,940
for the Alpha Omega podcast, complete hip hop, received an email today from Otis. It says,

317
00:33:23,940 --> 00:33:28,580
A to the D to the A M U to Man. Thanks for the shout out. A lot of you know, I will hit you back

318
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:31,860
this week and let you know what's going on. The clubs in Seattle in Portland as for the military

319
00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:37,300
backgrounds. I was in Berlin in 89 when the wall came down and a lot of he was in West Germany in 1990.

320
00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:41,940
We were in the same unit in Fort Lewis, Washington. And here's a hip hop song. We downloaded from

321
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:49,940
music.podshow.com. The song is called Blow Your Whistle is the Remix by Azemoff. So, that's a recommendation,

322
00:33:51,250 --> 00:38:33,750
[ Music ]

323
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:38,220
Thank you guys for giving me just an ounce of street cred.

324
00:38:38,220 --> 00:38:41,220
We're going to find that on the pot-save music networks.

325
00:38:41,220 --> 00:38:44,220
Cool to hear the hip hop on music.co.com.

326
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:46,220
I want to know how this would sound on the club, man.

327
00:38:46,220 --> 00:38:47,220
Shoot.

328
00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:48,220
Someone please play the club.

329
00:38:48,220 --> 00:38:50,220
Let me know what people think.

330
00:38:50,220 --> 00:38:52,220
I think it's highly sensible.

331
00:38:52,220 --> 00:38:55,220
And that's it for the Charlie Ford today.

332
00:38:55,220 --> 00:38:58,220
Again tomorrow, we'll find out if the Golden Ticket worked.

333
00:38:58,220 --> 00:39:00,220
And I'll see you back here.

334
00:39:00,220 --> 00:39:02,220
I'll be able to do a Friday show as well.

335
00:39:02,220 --> 00:39:03,220
And then it's on vacation.

336
00:39:03,220 --> 00:39:05,220
