01:26.840 --> 01:29.560 Yeah, this is like, welcome to reality, right? 01:29.560 --> 01:33.840 And aren't podcasts pretty much about reality in many cases. 01:33.840 --> 01:37.240 Let me see, get everything else set up here. 01:37.240 --> 01:38.720 Okay. 01:38.720 --> 01:39.720 There we go. 01:39.720 --> 01:42.600 Right, let me just take the headphones off. 01:42.600 --> 01:48.720 So, it started this morning at 6.30, the alarm went because I had to get Christina off to school 01:48.720 --> 01:54.000 and that, you know, that entails making a lunch. 01:54.000 --> 01:58.440 Well, actually, we still have the two dogs and the two cats. 01:58.440 --> 02:02.360 So they all need to be taken care of in the morning and have to be let out and walked 02:02.360 --> 02:06.640 and fed or, you know, they all drink lots of water. 02:06.640 --> 02:10.800 You know, shoot the water bowl as empty again, hold on a second. 02:10.800 --> 02:15.600 And then there's a dishwasher, which I haven't emptied out yet. 02:15.600 --> 02:21.840 There's lunch that has to be made, then I drove Christina to school, I actually considered 02:21.840 --> 02:33.200 starting the podcast this morning before we went to school, but maybe I should, I thought 02:33.200 --> 02:37.120 that maybe I should ask Christina before I just did that. 02:37.120 --> 02:40.600 Like me, she's not really a morning person. 02:40.600 --> 02:41.960 We're not very good in the morning. 02:42.120 --> 02:51.760 So you can just imagine us two grouches kind of scouring over breakfast at each other. 02:51.760 --> 02:59.560 I didn't get to bed on time, or at least, you know, I wanted to be in bed around midnight, 02:59.560 --> 03:07.680 but the way it works out with the time differences, five hours difference between East 03:07.720 --> 03:13.880 coast of the US and the cottage here, Gilford, which means that if you want to have, you 03:13.880 --> 03:19.880 kind of like a regular morning conference call with anyone, which, you know, it's like, you 03:19.880 --> 03:24.560 know, 10 or 11 o'clock, it's already three, four p.m. here, Christina comes out of school 03:24.560 --> 03:27.840 at three, thirty. 03:27.840 --> 03:33.720 And so what I've been doing is I've basically had the car service picker up and bring 03:33.720 --> 03:34.720 her home. 03:34.720 --> 03:39.120 It's only like a 10 minute ride, but, you know, it's just right at that inconvenient 03:39.120 --> 03:41.120 time. 03:41.120 --> 03:46.160 And I do like taking her to school, because we always have a good laugh in the car in the 03:46.160 --> 03:51.760 morning listening to the radio or sometimes we'll listen to podcasts and we'll talk, talk 03:51.760 --> 03:54.840 while it's going on at school. 03:54.840 --> 03:56.440 This morning was an interesting conversation. 03:56.440 --> 04:02.720 We listened to the radio and there was some report about some middle school in the UK. 04:02.720 --> 04:09.040 I think a little bit, it was in London or another suburb of London, and talking about 04:09.040 --> 04:15.680 how many kids were bringing knives to school and other weapons, some joke like, oh, you 04:15.680 --> 04:18.800 know, weapons of mass destruction said, oh, you know, what's with the guys at my school 04:18.800 --> 04:19.800 of knives? 04:19.800 --> 04:20.800 What? 04:20.800 --> 04:25.160 So, you know, like pocket knives, like, you know, like, you know, this long, it's 04:25.160 --> 04:28.520 you could actually tell me how long the knives were and what, you know, they have silver 04:28.520 --> 04:30.960 bladed, but as well, what are they using for? 04:30.960 --> 04:33.760 Well, in case they get into a fight, they said, you got to be kidding me. 04:33.760 --> 04:37.840 So, well, that's never really actually happened, but it's kind of like a, it's like you 04:37.840 --> 04:41.000 got your iPod, you got your knife, you know, it's like Jesus Christ. 04:41.000 --> 04:48.600 And then I kind of thought back to, when I was a kid going to school, and I went to a, 04:48.600 --> 04:56.360 a, a Christian school, the Christian, the Christianly say him about the Felbert, and we had 04:56.360 --> 04:58.520 all kind of, we were always carrying shit. 04:58.520 --> 05:06.840 We had knives and, you know, stilettos, you know, which, you know, the switchblade, which 05:06.840 --> 05:10.880 kind of like swings out and locks, and the other stilettos, which comes with shoots out 05:10.880 --> 05:12.920 of the blade, kind of like a taxi driver thing. 05:12.920 --> 05:18.400 We had all that shit as well, and it was just posturing, I guess, oh shoot, I don't know, 05:18.400 --> 05:26.680 and I haven't, the gate is open, which I have to close, because otherwise the dogs would 05:26.680 --> 05:28.720 run out to the front of the house. 05:28.720 --> 05:33.880 So, it's about three degrees centigrade, it was snowing this morning. 05:33.880 --> 05:41.440 It's not quite as cold as the rest of some parts of Europe in, in Holland, I think it's 05:41.440 --> 05:49.000 like five below, and last night it was definitely freezing here, and I'm, I'm going 05:49.000 --> 05:55.200 to more and more dismayed with the house that we're renting, it's so cold, you know, 05:55.200 --> 06:06.480 it's like, we pay, we pay a lot of money to rent this place, but you actually have to, 06:06.480 --> 06:11.920 probably add another two to 300 pounds a month on to the bill just for the extra heating, 06:11.920 --> 06:18.000 because, you know, these non double-pain windows, you walk past any window, you can literally 06:18.000 --> 06:28.280 feel the cold just flowing over, it's not very handy, okay, so let me just start by 06:28.280 --> 06:38.360 clearing out the dishwasher, another crappy feature of the rental home, the dishwasher sucks, 06:38.360 --> 06:44.640 and it's too bad because we had a great dishwasher in Belgium at the castle, which we 06:44.640 --> 06:51.200 could have taken with us, but the one here looked to be okay, but there's a couple of things 06:51.200 --> 06:59.680 that just really aren't right, the knives slide through the knife, or the silverware container, 06:59.680 --> 07:09.440 and then, so they're like jammed down into the down below the rack, so it's impossible to take 07:09.440 --> 07:15.440 the bottom tray out and then it derails all the time, just these little things, and I don't 07:15.440 --> 07:20.960 know if I'm really a believer in washing machines anyway, you're basically handling everything 07:20.960 --> 07:29.120 twice, and you become really lazy, particularly if you have one of these dishwashers that 07:29.120 --> 07:34.240 empties itself automatically, have you ever seen that? Yeah, the way it works is Patricia 07:34.240 --> 07:43.200 does it, that's why you don't realize what a pain in the acid is until you do it, okay, let me 07:43.200 --> 07:50.240 see, so a couple of things I'm going to talk about today on daily source code, some of them 07:50.240 --> 07:58.640 obviously podcast related, let me see, I have the line up here, we have, I'm going to talk 07:58.640 --> 08:05.120 about some commercial podcast efforts that are popping up, talk about the iPod directorie, 08:05.120 --> 08:11.360 I'm going to talk about Father Roderick, he has some exciting news, and of course there's a 08:11.360 --> 08:17.280 hit test, which is always fun, so let me just put the earbuds in for a second, because I received 08:17.280 --> 08:22.400 Sid's mashup of the day, while you're here in the background, by the way, that's Radio 2, 08:24.160 --> 08:30.560 that's Terry Wogan, does the morning show on Radio 2, and I think he starts at 7 or 730, 08:30.560 --> 08:37.520 and he goes until 11 o'clock, it's a pretty long shift, but it's a fun show, very, 08:38.800 --> 08:44.240 it's kind of like a podcast in a way, I have to say, he's just talking crap and he has his, 08:44.240 --> 08:48.080 it sounds like he has his buddies there, it's not like a hot rock in flame through and morning show, 08:48.080 --> 08:52.000 but he's just, you know, responding to viewer comments and has talks to people on the phone 08:52.000 --> 08:57.200 and plays really, really good songs, at least songs that I like, you know, but of course I'm 08:57.200 --> 09:05.440 an old fart and 40, so let's see, Sid sent me a track by John Wignal, aka DJ Wig, quality, 09:05.440 --> 09:11.280 not too good Sid says, oh, that's too bad, but a brilliant mashup, beds are burning by midnight oil, 09:11.360 --> 09:18.000 and this is how we do it, my Montel, Jordan, totally made for each other. Later this week, 09:18.000 --> 09:23.760 oh, this is, oh, Sid is now teasing stuff, the 80s porn version of back to life, sold to whole, okay, 09:23.760 --> 09:30.240 so we'll look forward to that, Sid, the mashup, pimp daddy, but right now this is how we burn the beds. 09:33.750 --> 12:26.250 [ Music ] 12:30.800 --> 12:34.720 and money does it like nobody does it like nobody does it like 12:34.720 --> 12:39.760 quality wasn't too bad, this is how we burn the beds, you heard it here on the daily source code, 12:39.760 --> 12:43.600 it's the first of the month, remember we said, bunny bunny rabbit rabbit which is supposed to 12:44.160 --> 12:49.120 be the first thing out of your mouth on the first day of a new month and it's supposed to bring you 12:49.920 --> 12:56.000 health and wealth and fame and riches and all kinds of groovy stuff, so I said it for you all, 12:56.000 --> 13:01.760 since I've got all that and I'm really happy and feel extremely privileged, almost done with 13:01.760 --> 13:07.920 three, I can't believe it, the two of us made that big a load for the dishwasher, that's just 13:08.640 --> 13:14.480 ridiculous, I'm learning, I'm learning, okay, time to load it out, speaking of mashups, 13:15.120 --> 13:23.680 lots of responses about the news that the Battalica site was shut down, and of course, 13:24.880 --> 13:31.760 none of them from lawyers as far as I can tell, but a lot of different opinions about what can and 13:31.760 --> 13:38.000 can't be done, I'm going to, oh, let me just walk over to the, to the power book, so one of them 13:38.000 --> 13:45.280 is from Eric, he says, he says, if you record a song as a parody of the original, you are protected 13:45.280 --> 13:49.520 from copyright infringement, because on to say, we're the link of each show that's to be true 13:49.520 --> 13:53.440 when he recorded parody songs that when he asked the original artist for permission first and they 13:53.440 --> 13:57.600 said, no, he did it anyway because you're allowed to do that as a parody under fair use. 13:57.760 --> 14:01.680 I would think that Battalica presenting Beetle songs in a parody format started like Metallica 14:01.680 --> 14:05.600 would fall under this as well, but Battalica should check with their lawyers, yes, of course, 14:05.600 --> 14:10.560 Eric, from the soundhouse studios, I agree, they should check with their lawyers, and unfortunately, 14:10.560 --> 14:15.440 you got to have lawyers for almost everything these days, and then other people have sent an email 14:15.440 --> 14:20.640 saying that, you know, you can do that with almost any song except for basically the Beetles, 14:20.640 --> 14:25.040 the Rolling Stones, and one or two others, I'm not quite sure, I think that 14:26.000 --> 14:31.360 there's probably a lot of strong arming going on with this stuff, and it's really a shame, 14:31.360 --> 14:36.320 I mean, if I were Metallica or if I were who owns the Beetles, it's still Michael Jackson, 14:36.320 --> 14:40.960 who owns the Beetles catalog, I'd be ecstatic, you know, I'd be like, how do we release this stuff? 14:40.960 --> 14:46.080 How do we, basically, repackaging of already great material, we should be able to make money on it? 14:47.120 --> 14:52.960 And the oops, shit, no, and the Battalica musicians as well, 14:52.960 --> 15:00.400 that's weird times we live in, that's not sure, okay, almost done loading up the 15:00.400 --> 15:09.600 mornings breakfast, this is our breakfast mashup here, okay, what else do we have? 15:11.440 --> 15:18.960 Table, oh, Christina, I didn't take her lactose pill, she's a little bit lactose intolerant, 15:18.960 --> 15:23.120 although that's gotten much, much better since we moved here, I don't know if there's 15:23.120 --> 15:26.320 well, I'm sure there's different types of cows, I don't know if the milk is different or whatever, 15:26.320 --> 15:30.720 but she really, it's not that bad, whereas you know, if you had like mashed potatoes and put 15:30.720 --> 15:36.480 even a little bit of milk in there, it would trip around, it really, it's sad because it, you know, 15:36.480 --> 15:44.880 she gets a stomach ache from it. Okay, see, a derailed again, fucking you. 15:49.280 --> 15:56.240 Good, done, I'm getting there, I also have to vacuum the place it's just a stye, man, it really 15:56.240 --> 15:59.280 is. How does Patricia do it? How does she keep up with all this crap? 16:01.600 --> 16:05.840 So last night, before I went to bed, I actually had a little phone call with 16:07.120 --> 16:13.920 Madge Weinstein, who had emailed me a press release that she was putting out or was about to put out 16:13.920 --> 16:20.000 and wanted to have my okay on it, about the Madge Weinstein iPod Shuffle Contest, 16:21.760 --> 16:26.240 which is just an amazing thing that she's doing, went out and spent, well, must have 16:26.240 --> 16:34.480 meant at least $5 or $600 of her own money to promote the yeast radio show, yeastradio.com. 16:35.760 --> 16:40.640 And I guess the deal is, it's starting today, you have to listen to all of the yeast radio 16:41.520 --> 16:49.920 programs or whatever podcasts are being released for clues and every week, one lucky listener 16:51.120 --> 16:57.920 will receive an iPod shuffle, the 500 gigabyte, a gigabyte, whoops, that would be a shuffle. 16:59.200 --> 17:08.320 A mega shuffle, now the 500 megabyte and it will come preloaded with all of the Madge Weinstein 17:08.400 --> 17:13.200 yeast radio podcasts, which I think is great and actually in the press release, she goes in this whole 17:13.200 --> 17:21.280 tire rate about, you know, so what if Bono and YouTube have their iPod, Madge has their 17:21.280 --> 17:27.360 Madge pod or yeast pod or whatever it is, and she sent me a promo, which we're going to have 17:28.320 --> 17:37.600 a listen to right now. Hello everyone, this is Madge Weinstein of yeastradio.com with an 17:37.680 --> 17:46.080 important announcement, starting March 1st, I am going to be giving away one free iPod shuffle 17:46.080 --> 17:52.320 out every week for the next five weeks, but you have to listen to yeast radio to find out how. 17:53.120 --> 17:59.600 Along with this iPod shuffle is going to be a full collection of all the yeast radio shows to date. 18:00.240 --> 18:05.920 You have to listen to yeast radio to find out how to win this, and this is not a free iPod 18:06.000 --> 18:13.760 scam, I have all five iPods in my possession, and they are for you, my general audience. So listen 18:13.760 --> 18:19.920 to yeastradio.com very carefully for instructions on how to win the iPod shuffles. 18:21.840 --> 18:30.960 The shuffles. Excellent, great promotion, great contest. And this is not like one of those 18:30.960 --> 18:36.800 get a free iPod deals. You know, she actually went out and bought the iPods and is probably 18:36.800 --> 18:42.960 still in the process of preloading them. So this is a real deal, and as you certainly get her a lot 18:42.960 --> 18:49.200 of listeners or extra listeners, and hopefully you will subscribe as well. By the way, the yeast 18:49.200 --> 18:55.520 radio program is certainly not safe for work. So we look at the paper for a second here, what's going 18:55.600 --> 19:05.280 on in the UK? The paper I like is the Financial Times, or as we say here, FT. I don't know what 19:05.280 --> 19:09.440 it is about the Financial Times, but it really just seems to always have the stories that I'm interested 19:09.440 --> 19:16.400 in. It's a mix of business and finance and world news, but right at the top here, Jackson's TV 19:16.400 --> 19:23.680 thriller, celebrity trial gives a boost to courtroom television page 12. There's a whole thing in here 19:23.840 --> 19:34.160 about reality television. Here, people are going to court TV and other broadcasts are hoping 19:34.160 --> 19:39.920 for a big boost to the audiences from Michael Jackson's trial. That's right, and it is going to 19:39.920 --> 19:46.880 be huge, and it's kind of disgusting. I hear news reports everywhere, and there's so little respect 19:47.360 --> 19:54.720 for Michael Jackson. Here they all call him, well, I guess Wacco Jacco is pretty much 19:54.720 --> 20:06.720 universally used around the globe, but I've been in that position, not in, obviously, not in 20:06.720 --> 20:15.760 Michael Jackson's exact position, but it sucks, man, when people show no respect, and it's 20:17.760 --> 20:26.800 I don't know. There's so many, I think recently even we're seeing more and more people posting 20:26.800 --> 20:34.240 about how inaccurate the press really is, and this is no news to me, because I think I've been interviewed. 20:34.240 --> 20:38.080 Well, I've been in newspapers and radio television interviews since I was 20:39.680 --> 20:44.640 16, but really since I was 19, half of my life has been in show business. I don't think of 20:44.640 --> 20:50.160 ever read one single interview that was entirely right, and usually there's just all kinds of 20:50.160 --> 20:57.840 mistakes in there, and what you learn is that it's really your fault. It's not the media's fault. 20:57.840 --> 21:04.560 It's how you, you have to be a better storyteller. You have to explain better what you're talking 21:04.560 --> 21:10.240 about, and it really shows how little people understand when it comes to two-way communication, 21:10.480 --> 21:17.920 and I've come to the realization more and more that sometimes I'm really not a good communicator, 21:17.920 --> 21:22.320 and people just really understand things differently, or to have a different take on them, or we're 21:22.320 --> 21:26.560 thinking something else at the time when you have to look for the clues, which I don't really 21:26.560 --> 21:31.360 like doing phone interviews. I like talking to people face to face, so you can really see if they're 21:31.360 --> 21:37.600 understanding what you're talking about. Okay, hold on, let me just, I've got to do the countertop. 21:37.600 --> 21:44.560 One of my using here, Mr. Mussela, a Johnson and Johnson, a family company. That's great. 21:44.560 --> 21:50.240 Johnson and Johnson, a family company. Mr. Mussela loves the job you hate. That's a registered 21:50.240 --> 21:57.280 trademark, by the way. It's the kitchen, dissolves grease, kills bacteria. Let's give it a shot. Meanwhile, 21:57.280 --> 22:03.680 Spandole Ballet is gold in the background, on the Terry Wogan Show. 8 million listeners that guy has, 22:03.760 --> 22:11.280 that's pretty massive. Of course, the infrastructure, BBC radio is nice. People really do listen to 22:12.000 --> 22:21.120 the radio in the UK, and that's probably because satellite and cable still hasn't really made it all 22:21.120 --> 22:25.760 the way into a foot, I mean, it just hasn't penetrated the way it hasn't. In other countries like the 22:25.760 --> 22:30.720 states, and sky satellite has only been around for 10 years or something like that, so it's just 22:30.800 --> 22:37.200 not really peeking into massive availability, and it really works very well. But before that, 22:37.200 --> 22:40.800 people will just listen to the wireless, and they'd enjoy it. 22:44.800 --> 22:55.120 All right, the almost done here. Let's start to look like a, almost look like the way Patricia does it. 22:55.120 --> 23:02.560 Okay. Let me do that. Kitchen table, and then we can talk a little bit more. 23:04.080 --> 23:09.520 See, it's really hard actually to clean and talk at the same time. I can't concentrate on 23:09.520 --> 23:17.040 two things. I'm not multitasking like life. Okay. Here we go. By the way, a lot of people want to know what 23:17.040 --> 23:22.640 Patricia was doing. She has a cosmetics company called LePy Cosmetics, and she's doing some 23:22.880 --> 23:29.360 rather large deals with it over the next two days, and it's cool, you know, it's good for her to get 23:29.360 --> 23:35.200 away as well, and just be doing some stuff with other people, even though it's hard work and she's got 23:35.200 --> 23:43.520 all kinds of early and late meetings to move. Right. Okay. Back to the computer. What do we have? 23:44.400 --> 23:52.640 Ah, Scriss tomes would Chris, a Chris said. See, notice the, it's ever since you discovered 23:52.640 --> 23:57.360 the world of podcasts and his trips to the iTunes Music Store have been much less. It's also, 23:57.360 --> 24:02.000 he says, save me tons of cash. And I wonder if other podcasts listeners have the same experience. 24:02.000 --> 24:06.160 Giving the limit of time that he has to plug in the iPod on the way to work and the car on the 24:06.160 --> 24:12.160 train, his time is spent tuning into a half a dozen or so podcast on a daily basis. Hence, 24:12.160 --> 24:15.760 less time to listen to music and the need to line the pockets of Apple. 24:15.760 --> 24:21.120 So does podcast equal less Apple iTunes downloads or will it have no effect or will 24:21.120 --> 24:28.560 the more popular podcasts sell their souls to iTunes and charge 99 cents or whatever to download 24:28.560 --> 24:31.840 them. Good question. Very good question. Well I thought I think we talked about that the other 24:31.840 --> 24:38.960 day that we're going to see all kinds of services popping up. In fact, not a day goes by 24:39.840 --> 24:43.760 that someone doesn't send me a link. I've actually, you know, I decided that I'm probably 24:43.760 --> 24:50.640 just going to create a category for this in the iPod or directory of podcasts services. 24:51.840 --> 24:58.560 Which is pretty much like a weblog service. In fact, it's just two sides of the same coin. 24:59.920 --> 25:04.800 So what you see is everyone pretty much has the same idea. You know, you a place to 25:04.800 --> 25:13.440 upload your files to manage them, to manage the ID3 tags, to create your feed, maintain your feed, 25:13.440 --> 25:18.800 maintain your show notes and it's all all different versions of that. What I don't see is any 25:18.800 --> 25:26.400 real or any realistic pricing on on bandwidth, which is where I think a lot of these, you know, 25:26.400 --> 25:31.680 great ideas and great services and you know, the idea is there and it's really going to help 25:31.680 --> 25:36.320 people, although I still think we need something much simpler. There are probably hundreds of 25:36.320 --> 25:45.360 thousands of people out there who want the podcast, but have no, no, what I call it, just really 25:45.360 --> 25:49.120 don't want to know about ID3 tags. They don't, they won't mind entering in show notes, but I 25:49.120 --> 25:53.760 think that's it, you know, it should be click record, enter some information or what we call 25:53.760 --> 25:57.600 show notes and that's it, you're done, you know, it should be out there, it should be working. 25:58.240 --> 26:07.040 I am about to give you a live demonstration of the San Seo. I haven't talked about it in a few days. 26:07.040 --> 26:10.720 Mine is getting a little bit cruddy actually and if you don't, you're not careful when you 26:10.720 --> 26:16.240 close it, then the pressure or it doesn't seal properly and then the pressure builds up and 26:16.240 --> 26:22.800 it spews out the side, which is always a fun effect. I freshly washed cup, washed by yours truly 26:22.800 --> 26:33.520 in the machine. So I got my pod in there and I have the cafe crema coffee pod, medium roast. 26:34.480 --> 26:38.080 Let's see what this packaging says. You know, I never really pay attention to the packaging. 26:38.800 --> 26:47.200 New. Oh, a new way to enjoy great coffee. We seal for freshness. Individual soft coffee pods 26:47.200 --> 26:51.040 provide exactly the right amount of freshly brewed coffee. Can we use an any coffee pod, 26:51.040 --> 26:56.320 crema machine? Excellent. Okay, so that's how long it took for the water to warm up. It's done. 26:56.320 --> 27:03.440 Hit the button and now the freshly brewed taste is dripping into the cup. It's coming out of two 27:03.440 --> 27:09.840 spouts simultaneously. It's going to give me exactly the right amount. I like to put a little sugar in 27:09.840 --> 27:15.840 and they also a little bit of milk in and I usually do that while it's still just a safe time, 27:16.240 --> 27:21.680 but it's not fast enough for me. I put it all in while it's still dripping into the cup. 27:23.680 --> 27:35.040 And now it's just about stopped. Perfect. Okay, okay. So bandwidth. Yeah, that's going to be a big deal. 27:35.040 --> 27:42.400 Now I've been doing some calculations and it gets pretty gnarly pretty quickly. So the question is, 27:43.280 --> 27:51.280 man, I wish Bitcoin wasn't under such heavy attack. I'm so worried to start talking about 27:51.280 --> 27:58.960 or implementing Bitcoin because just the fact that the name Bitcoin has a real negative connotation 27:58.960 --> 28:07.760 with the man with the authorities these days, but I think it is certainly a solution to the ban with 28:07.760 --> 28:17.920 issue. But what I don't really see is, you know, there's a couple of ways to look at podcasts. 28:19.360 --> 28:25.600 One is in the kind of like as an audio blog post. So crack the mic and just talk and then this 28:25.600 --> 28:31.280 people who are kind of making little pieces of art and productions and shows and whatever you want to 28:31.280 --> 28:37.200 call them and it takes a lot of work. It really does. By the way, I'm just wondering around 28:37.920 --> 28:42.080 it's kind of like what I'm on the telephone and do the same thing. Are you a wanderer on the 28:42.080 --> 28:47.120 telephone? I can't sit still when I'm talking to someone. And I guess I'm talking to you. So I'm going 28:47.120 --> 28:52.800 to wander around. I'm in the in the dining room now trying to collect my thoughts about this stuff. 28:54.720 --> 29:01.520 I haven't really seen anyone come up with the grand idea of how we can actually make money on podcast. 29:01.600 --> 29:08.240 All I'm seeing is rehash of traditional models, which is great, but not for a number of years. 29:08.240 --> 29:15.120 There's just no way there's going to be enough listeners to podcasts to really make a dent with 29:15.120 --> 29:21.840 any kind of advertising dollars. So we'll have to figure out either some other way or some kind of 29:21.840 --> 29:30.080 bootstrap or what I think is working very well for me, at least, is find a product that you're 29:30.080 --> 29:34.080 passionate about or make a product or a service that you're passionate about and use your podcast 29:34.080 --> 29:40.160 to talk about it and build an audience. So it may not be very big audience, but if it's an audience 29:40.160 --> 29:45.040 that's buying a product or the one that you like, it could certainly work. I've really been selling 29:45.040 --> 29:51.440 coffee machines. It's unbelievable. And I didn't really think about it. I always talked about the 29:51.440 --> 29:57.760 coffee machine and then decided to, at least to put a link on my web blog. So if you want one, 29:57.760 --> 30:04.320 you can buy one yourself and I've sold. I should take, well, I don't want to fire up fire 30:04.320 --> 30:09.200 fox now, but it must be close to 30 at this point. It's really unbelievable. And also I get credit 30:09.200 --> 30:15.920 for people buying the pods and other accessories. I want to talk about Gmail for a second, 30:16.720 --> 30:21.680 interesting the other day, Gmail, I'm going to sit down, you know mine. Gmail went down the other 30:21.760 --> 30:27.200 day. I had never seen that happen. And it was a little frightening for a second, I'm like, 30:27.200 --> 30:33.440 oh my god, you know, and you come to realization, what if Gmail loses all my shit? That would 30:33.440 --> 30:41.680 really suck. I'm sure that they've probably got their data, backup situation or whatever under 30:41.680 --> 30:48.160 control. It seems like the Google grid is one, humongous raid. So the data is probably reasonably 30:48.160 --> 30:54.320 safe, but it does suck when the, when the service is down. And I have to say, compared to other 30:54.320 --> 31:01.680 email services, it's not bad. I mean, I've seen Apple's email go down severely. I mean, I have my own 31:01.680 --> 31:07.280 email server, which I've run for years. And, you know, there's always some shit that crops up with 31:07.280 --> 31:13.840 that, too, you know. And then, yeah, the biggest problem with, with most email systems, if you, 31:13.920 --> 31:19.520 if you use a laptop and you're roaming around is, you know, that damn port 25, you know, 31:19.520 --> 31:26.080 SMTP port. So you can't send mail unless you've got the, you know, the proper authentication 31:26.080 --> 31:31.840 authorization, which the web mail stuff, of course, works beautifully. And I like it very much. I am 31:31.840 --> 31:37.280 seeing, however, a tremendous amount of spam that Google isn't catching. Now, you have the report 31:37.280 --> 31:43.120 spam button, the keyboard shortcut for that is an exclamation point. And I do it all the time. 31:43.200 --> 31:48.560 And all the spam that I get, I'm very consistent about that. And still, it keeps coming in, 31:48.560 --> 31:55.120 you know. And, and, and so I don't know if, uh, if there's, there's no setting to tighten it 31:55.120 --> 32:00.240 up or anything like that. But I think that Google has to kind of relook at some of their, 32:01.920 --> 32:08.800 you know, some of their, we call that, uh, algorithms. There you go. 32:09.760 --> 32:14.400 I do think it's kind of funny though how, and the funny and maybe scary at the same time. 32:15.280 --> 32:23.920 So I received, uh, an email from a venture capital firm, uh, with some very, you know, 32:23.920 --> 32:32.080 like some suggestions, obviously. And you look over to the right in your Gmail and on the right, 32:32.160 --> 32:39.920 there's all these ads for, you know, looking for funding. You know, uh, and like, wow, man, 32:39.920 --> 32:46.320 that that's pretty intense. It read my email and started giving me links to go to places 32:46.320 --> 32:51.200 based upon the content of my email. And for some reason, I didn't really feel too bad about it, 32:51.200 --> 32:57.200 you know, because I, I do consider email and anything I put on my computer to be just, you know, 32:57.200 --> 33:01.040 completely open and eventually accessible to anybody. I don't think there's, you know, well, 33:01.120 --> 33:04.720 you see this logo on my weblog. There are no secrets on the information you don't yet have. 33:06.160 --> 33:12.720 But anyway, it would be nice if, uh, if Google could work a little bit on the, uh, on their algorithms, 33:12.720 --> 33:19.520 get a little less spam coming in. Uh, then after yesterday's, uh, uh, little talk about, uh, 33:19.520 --> 33:22.880 people to maintain, it's time to spark up your home. 33:22.960 --> 33:24.000 Hello. 33:26.400 --> 33:30.720 Yes, today's plea for editors for the, uh, uh, iPart.org directory. 33:30.720 --> 33:35.840 Well, though, thank you very much. Lots of people wanted to contribute. Really, really, 33:35.840 --> 33:42.240 love it. Um, and so I've already handed off at least 10 nodes this morning. I still got a lot to go 33:42.240 --> 33:47.040 and people are also coming up with new nodes they want to add to the directory. Um, if you're interested, 33:47.040 --> 33:52.480 it's iPart.org. Uh, iPart.org slash contribute tells you how you can contribute to, uh, 33:52.480 --> 33:56.560 creating this directory. And as I said yesterday, uh, 33:56.560 --> 34:01.280 Marcus's work, Marcus Maloe, I've been working with for, for many years, is working on, uh, 34:01.280 --> 34:07.920 expanding the directory so that each individual node, um, you know, every editor of a, of a 34:07.920 --> 34:12.800 category, which I call node managers, uh, will have a whole bunch of tools to really make that, 34:12.800 --> 34:19.840 well, it'll be a weblog all by itself. You know, so that you can, um, really promote that category. 34:19.920 --> 34:24.400 You should be able to, uh, work much closer with the, uh, with the people who are providing, 34:25.200 --> 34:29.680 podcast for that category. And you should also be out, you know, be able to recruit and go out and 34:29.680 --> 34:34.000 find stuff and not just wait for submissions. You know, let's really build this sucker out. That's 34:34.000 --> 34:41.520 going to be fun. Um, so thank you all very much. If, if you're looking to do an OPML file to add 34:41.520 --> 34:46.560 into the directory, um, although in the, you know, the iPart.org slash contribute, there's lots of, 34:47.280 --> 34:52.240 options and explanations about how you can do it. I mean, you can even create your OPML file by hand. 34:52.240 --> 34:55.680 What we're seeing though is that, you know, people who are, for instance, will do it by hand, 34:55.680 --> 35:00.720 which is just so beautiful. This, um, A that it's simple enough for you to be able to edit this by hand, 35:00.720 --> 35:05.040 but B that people are willing to do that kind of work. Uh, you see that in, you know, like, 35:05.040 --> 35:10.400 note pad on windows, it adds all kinds of funky characters when you save it out. So trying to stay away 35:10.560 --> 35:19.040 from that and for the time being, I still would suggest you use, uh, radio user land, uh, which 35:19.040 --> 35:26.080 has a great OPML, uh, it's, uh, the whole thing is OPML. It's inherent to the program. And it works 35:26.080 --> 35:31.680 perfectly on Macintosh and on Windows. And I was thinking, I saw that Steve Kirk's, uh, I guess 35:31.680 --> 35:36.720 is the product manager at user land. He, uh, he, he heard the mention yesterday. I'm thinking Steve, 35:36.800 --> 35:41.040 you know, why don't you help everybody out here, since, you know, maybe there's a discount or something 35:41.040 --> 35:45.360 that people can get if they're working on the, on the iPod or directory, just a thought. 35:45.360 --> 35:49.200 I don't want to beg or anything like that. Have you got to move along here? This, uh, 35:50.080 --> 35:55.760 has 35 minutes into this. Um, wanted to plug a project of a real good buddy of mine, Peter Ford, 35:56.800 --> 36:04.000 uh, Peter Ford was, uh, Christina's, I want to say six grade teacher. And this was the guy who sent me an email 36:04.080 --> 36:07.840 or a sent home a letter with all the kids saying, you know, I'm Peter Ford, your, your son of 36:07.840 --> 36:13.600 daughters, uh, uh, teacher. And if you have any questions, send me an email. And this was, 36:13.600 --> 36:21.360 to what was this, uh, um, six years ago, five or five years ago. Uh, and at the time, I was like, 36:21.360 --> 36:24.960 wow, you know, that's pretty cool. Have a teacher, you know, being, you know, soliciting email. 36:25.680 --> 36:31.280 And with him, we got the whole concept of web blogs and school started, uh, at least at the 36:31.280 --> 36:36.800 British School of Amsterdam when we started, uh, doing project web blogs, where each student 36:36.800 --> 36:40.960 created a project in a blog, which was great because all of them had this built in audience, 36:40.960 --> 36:46.160 not just of their peers, but their parents and brothers and sisters and grandparents and friends. 36:46.160 --> 36:50.640 And it was very successful. And from that, we built school blogs.com, which is still running today 36:50.640 --> 36:58.240 with thousands of, uh, free, um, uh, school blogs for teachers, students, schools, uh, you know, 36:58.240 --> 37:02.480 all educational stuff. And he's got something else going on. He says, uh, 37:02.480 --> 37:06.560 wonder if you give a shout out on your blog. Well, this will be the next best thing. Of course, 37:06.560 --> 37:13.280 everything is in the show notes. Uh, to the Keepers Poetry Project that he set up with Oxford 37:13.280 --> 37:18.320 Brooks University. Basically, use the web blog to have kids collaborate with real audience, 37:18.320 --> 37:23.520 purpose, et cetera. You know, the educational score. Yes, I do Peter. I would love to see podcasters 37:23.600 --> 37:28.880 include their own Keepers poem in their podcasts because it would give another twist on the whole 37:28.880 --> 37:34.640 poetry performance angle. So there's a link to it to, uh, to, uh, actually, to his, uh, web blog where 37:34.640 --> 37:40.800 explains everything, um, and then, of course, he winds up saying a beer or Starbucks coffee is long 37:40.800 --> 37:45.920 overdue. Yes, dammit. It's been years, Peter. Where the hell do you live? I forgot what you live. 37:45.920 --> 37:51.360 I'm sure you don't live in your gulf or you probably live up in the sticks. All right. Let's, uh, 37:51.440 --> 37:55.360 got a couple more things to do here before I get out for today. Um, a promo. Yeah. 37:56.640 --> 38:02.240 Hey, this is Ferd from AirFerg.com. My wife and I do a podcast about once a week on some random 38:02.240 --> 38:07.840 topic that we pull out of our butts. And, uh, here's a little taste of something we did for our 38:07.840 --> 38:18.560 Valentine's Day show. Do your dick chain. You don't know me, but I know you. I see one TV and then 38:18.560 --> 38:24.720 pictures online and I just have to let you know that I think you're hot. I'm sure that some people 38:24.720 --> 38:30.000 would call it a crash, but I'll leave it up to you to figure out what these feelings are. I've 38:30.000 --> 38:37.680 admired you from afar ever since you came into the world spotlight in 1999. You're probably saying 38:37.680 --> 38:44.400 to yourself who me and I say yes, you. I think you get the idea. If you want to check us out, 38:44.400 --> 38:51.280 go to airferg.com. That's A-I-R-F-E-R-G dot com. Thanks for listening. Bye bye. 38:53.600 --> 38:58.880 Airferg. Hey, I'm about ready and got my, uh, on my crap together so I can start 38:58.880 --> 39:07.360 emptying out the MP3 feedback at gmail.com account. So once I've done that, then you can start submitting 39:07.360 --> 39:12.240 more promos. It's been nice to have a little bit of a rest though from the promos because such 39:12.240 --> 39:17.040 credible amount of work to go through them all and yeah, and it's also, it's a bit disturbing 39:17.040 --> 39:20.160 because people get really pissed off when, you know, like, how can we didn't play my promo? Well, 39:21.920 --> 39:29.120 we only got 40 minutes to do so. Oops, come here. Dogs have to go out. Come here. Jessie, 39:31.280 --> 39:38.720 are you lying on the couch? Oh, come on, girl, go. Come on, come on, buddy. Come on, come on, come on. 39:39.680 --> 39:43.120 Now, you won't believe this. The dog is laying on the beautiful couch 39:43.600 --> 39:47.840 pausing the air on her back, giving me the big wide-eyed stare. Come on, girl. Come on, 39:47.840 --> 39:54.560 come on, come on, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. 39:55.840 --> 40:02.240 There you go, good girl. Come on. She speaks Dutch. Well, actually Dutch and any English. Come on, girl. 40:02.960 --> 40:07.040 Push them. Swabber? That's her other little dog. Come on, come on, guys. Oh, 40:08.400 --> 40:13.360 the door is still locked. Come on, one out. Take Christina to the school. 40:14.960 --> 40:22.240 Yep. There you go. Good girl. Come on. Swabber, yeah, go. The other one speaks Dutch too. 40:22.800 --> 40:29.600 Swabber, Z-W-A-B-B-E-R stands for mop. That's the Dutch word from mop. He's a little 40:30.400 --> 40:34.800 Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier. Yes, go ahead and bark. I just saw the nail arrive. 40:39.360 --> 40:47.040 Where we have here. We have, oh. Everything happens at once now, who's calling? 40:51.040 --> 40:57.120 Junkmail, junkmail. Oh, man, that's another thing about a rental home. You get so much mail for 40:57.120 --> 41:01.520 previous tenants. It's not funny. And you have to kind of keep it 41:03.920 --> 41:07.280 because I do tend to drop by once in a while and say, hey, have you seen my nail? 41:08.560 --> 41:12.960 I was really excited about the Catholic insider podcast. Talked about that yesterday as well. 41:12.960 --> 41:21.840 Father Roderick with his podcast, sound seeing of the Vatican. He sent me an email. He says he's got 41:21.840 --> 41:28.880 some great news. He is being allowed or has been given permission to do a sound seeing tour inside 41:28.880 --> 41:35.040 the huge power of Vatican radio. And that's not all. I'm reading this directly from the show notes. 41:35.600 --> 41:40.480 I'll read the way he wrote. I've been talking here about podcasting and I thought the Vatican 41:40.480 --> 41:44.160 should get into podcasting. You know what? They totally dig it. They immediately saw the great 41:44.160 --> 41:50.000 new advantages of subscribing to an RSS feed, the possibility of getting high quality audio 41:50.800 --> 41:55.520 to the listeners, the idea of getting people the opportunity to listen to a show whenever and wherever 41:55.520 --> 42:00.720 they want. So I've been invited to head over to the Vatican again today. Talk with their webmaster 42:00.720 --> 42:07.680 to explain to her, wow, there's women in the Vatican. How to set up an RSS feed and how they can 42:07.680 --> 42:12.560 start podcasting. Ain't it cool? I almost feel like I'm not only an evangelist of the gospel, 42:12.560 --> 42:17.760 but also a podcast evangelist, absolutely father of Roderick, you are. But in the good news about 42:17.840 --> 42:22.320 podcasting in Vatican City. So the sound seeing tool will be up later today. It's going to be awesome. 42:22.320 --> 42:29.040 Got to see places where no tourist has gone before. Now that is cool. And the minute it's out, 42:29.040 --> 42:36.000 I'll add it to the sound seeing tours.com podcast feed. Very excited about that. And I really, 42:36.000 --> 42:40.400 really do enjoy your podcast father Roderick. I love the most is when you say, oh my gosh. 42:41.360 --> 42:44.880 I hear that a lot. Oh my gosh, he says, yeah, right on. 42:54.160 --> 43:00.880 Hi Adam. Hey on. This is hit test number 17. Oh man, we're moving. Before we start, 43:00.880 --> 43:04.720 let me say that I really didn't know that you had that many listeners. What do you mean? 43:04.720 --> 43:09.760 I saw that there were 50,000 in November. All right. If that amounts, 43:09.760 --> 43:15.280 what does grown to 80,000. Wow, that's really a lot. I hope that the hit test has contributed to that. 43:15.280 --> 43:20.320 Yeah, yeah, it will not really contribute to that. I mean, it's it's creaking the dot 43:20.320 --> 43:25.600 Mac infrastructure. Well, okay, the hit test. Let's start right away. This is number one. 43:25.680 --> 43:28.960 Not hit me. Oh, I know that one. And once again. 43:32.240 --> 43:36.240 Chuck a con. Ain't nobody. That was easy. 43:38.400 --> 43:39.440 And this is number two. 43:45.280 --> 43:45.920 One more time. 43:49.200 --> 43:50.400 The Tina Turner, maybe? 43:50.800 --> 43:57.200 It sounds like a Tina Turner production, but I don't know what it is. 43:57.200 --> 43:59.520 Unfortunately. And now the final one. 44:01.440 --> 44:07.440 It's short. One more time. One of my favorite songs. Without a doubt, that's talk, talk, 44:07.440 --> 44:11.200 life's what you make it. But I don't know what number two is. So maybe we got two for three. 44:11.200 --> 44:14.080 It really shouldn't be too hard. This is answer number one. 44:14.160 --> 44:18.880 It's roofers and chuck a con. Ain't nobody. 44:21.840 --> 44:24.160 Still a great song. 20 years old. 44:24.800 --> 44:46.640 I remember I just got to stop it for a second. Reminds me of a really good friend. 44:46.640 --> 44:56.640 And we just moved to New York in 1987 and Dan Hartman. The guy from Me Light My Fire. 44:56.640 --> 45:04.080 Man, Patricia and I went to see a Joe Cocker show with him at the bottom line. I think 45:04.080 --> 45:10.320 it was the bottom line. Because he and Charlie Midnight had written and produced Joe Cocker's album. 45:10.320 --> 45:15.200 This they had just done James Brown living in America. These guys were on top of the world making 45:15.200 --> 45:22.000 super hit records. And we were driving back to our apartment on 56th and Broadway. And Dan was driving. 45:22.000 --> 45:26.480 And I don't know if we were drunk or a little bit high. But it was, I just remember him going 45:26.480 --> 45:32.480 off on Chaka Khan. And he was doing this whole Chaka Khan rap. And he imitated the way she talked. 45:32.480 --> 45:39.120 It was so, so funny. That just flashed into my mind hearing that. Unfortunately, Dan passed away. 45:39.120 --> 45:46.800 Oh man, I think that he must have passed away 10 or 11 years ago of AIDS. And I miss him. I miss him. 45:46.800 --> 45:52.320 Every single time I hear a song, he wrote, he sang or produced. I should, I should play. I can dream about you. 45:52.320 --> 45:56.320 Let me see. If I have it, I'll play it for you right now. That would be just wonderful though. 45:57.360 --> 46:04.320 Oops. I don't know what that is. Hold on. Let me see if I hope I have Dan Hartman. 46:04.640 --> 46:13.280 I know I'm interrupting the hit test here, but... shoot. No. Okay. Well, I'm going to plan that for another 46:13.280 --> 46:16.400 day, because that's just one of my favorite songs. Okay, back to the hit test. 46:20.160 --> 46:26.320 And number two in today's hit test. It's Donna Summer. And dinner with Gershwin. 46:26.560 --> 46:34.320 Ah, oh, I'm sorry. That was a hit. 46:39.280 --> 46:41.280 Good song. 46:56.960 --> 47:01.600 Donna Summer. The second answer in today's hit test. It's also a song without a specific chorus, 47:01.600 --> 47:07.840 so it's a bit hot to edit with Gershwin. Answer number two. And this is the third and final 47:07.840 --> 47:12.960 answer in today's hit test. It's talked off. Yeah. And life's what you make it. 47:16.960 --> 47:22.560 Where did those guys go? What a great band. 47:27.200 --> 47:36.640 This is sooo good. Talks talk. And make it is the third and final answering today's hit test. 47:37.440 --> 47:42.960 Well, Adam, I hope you did well. Yeah.

And we got to eat dinner 48:44.800 --> 48:50.320 on time, which I will be preparing, because there's a teacher of parent conferences tonight 48:50.320 --> 48:57.360 starting at 7 o'clock. So plenty to do. Oh man, maybe I should podcast the teacher of 48:57.360 --> 49:01.520 the conference. That'd be interesting. Well, we'll see if we do that.
