WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:10.000 Transmators, we don't need no stinking transmitters. 00:10.000 --> 00:12.000 Did this is one DJ? 00:12.000 --> 00:15.000 You don't want to f**k with honesty. 00:15.000 --> 00:17.000 It's embarrassing. 00:17.000 --> 00:18.000 It's humb day. 00:18.000 --> 00:19.000 It's Wednesday, everybody. 00:19.000 --> 00:20.000 How you doing? 00:20.000 --> 00:22.000 Oh, oh, oh,

curry cottage. 00:31.000 --> 00:33.000 Man, it's beautiful today. 00:33.000 --> 00:36.000 I can see for miles and miles and miles. 00:36.000 --> 00:38.000 Got the windows wide open here on the studio 00:38.000 --> 00:40.000 and we're ready for about 40 minutes of fun. 00:40.000 --> 00:43.000 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. 00:43.000 --> 00:44.000 Oh, oh, oh. 00:44.000 --> 00:45.000 Oh, yes. 00:45.000 --> 00:46.000 Got some cool things to play for you today. 00:46.000 --> 00:49.000 Gonna talk a little bit about radio. 00:49.000 --> 00:52.000 Gonna talk about world calm. 00:52.000 --> 00:55.000 We've got an extremely not safe for work cover version 00:56.000 --> 00:58.000 of an excellent song. 00:58.000 --> 01:00.000 And of course, we've got a hit test. 01:00.000 --> 01:03.000 I'm recording a little bit on the early side. 01:03.000 --> 01:06.000 I can't, I just couldn't wait any longer. 01:06.000 --> 01:10.000 Michael Butler is not due to be up and about until, 01:10.000 --> 01:12.000 for about another hour and a half. 01:12.000 --> 01:16.000 So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pre-tape that once he comes online. 01:16.000 --> 01:19.000 We finally set a date for hit test number 21. 01:20.000 --> 01:22.000 Maybe that was 22. 01:22.000 --> 01:25.000 Anyway, it's the, it's the guitar metal intro's one. 01:25.000 --> 01:28.000 Okay, I've been following OpenPodcast.org, 01:28.000 --> 01:31.000 which is kind of my, my radio station, if you will, 01:31.000 --> 01:33.000 during the day, I have it hooked up 01:33.000 --> 01:36.000 so that whenever something new comes through on OpenPodcast.org 01:36.000 --> 01:38.000 it just gets queued up in my, 01:38.000 --> 01:41.000 my iTunes playlist. 01:41.000 --> 01:44.000 And the stuff that comes through there is just, 01:44.000 --> 01:47.000 just how rages as old conversations going on. 01:48.000 --> 01:50.000 And something I came across, actually, 01:50.000 --> 01:52.000 was sent to me an email as well. 01:52.000 --> 01:54.000 Let me just pull up the outline here. 01:54.000 --> 01:58.000 Of course, all of this is in the show notes for today's podcast. 02:01.000 --> 02:03.000 Yeah, recording, perfect. 02:03.000 --> 02:05.000 Hey Adam, with your years of experience, 02:05.000 --> 02:06.000 you've got natural rhythm, 02:06.000 --> 02:10.000 so I spent a couple hours in front of a ACID studio. 02:10.000 --> 02:11.000 What is that AC? 02:11.000 --> 02:12.000 Oh, acid. 02:12.000 --> 02:14.000 In front of acid studio, I guess, 02:14.000 --> 02:17.000 this is two years of form of software. 02:17.000 --> 02:20.000 ACID studio, I'm sorry, being a dick. 02:20.000 --> 02:23.000 Some of the clips that I chose weren't necessarily the most flattering, 02:23.000 --> 02:24.000 but I did it with love. 02:24.000 --> 02:27.000 Remember the worst thing about being in radio was when the production manager sat me down 02:27.000 --> 02:29.000 to go over my air check each week. 02:29.000 --> 02:31.000 He pointed out all of my stumbles and bumbles, 02:31.000 --> 02:33.000 but I always thought those bumbles were part of my charm. 02:33.000 --> 02:34.000 Exactly. 02:34.000 --> 02:36.000 That's what Patricia used to do to me all the time. 02:36.000 --> 02:37.000 It's when you stumble and bumble. 02:37.000 --> 02:40.000 That's when you become a human for a second, 02:40.000 --> 02:41.000 for just a nanosecond. 02:41.000 --> 02:44.000 So here it is, Scott Fletcher's Adam's groove mix 02:44.000 --> 02:49.000 as broadcast slash podcast on openpodcast.org. 02:49.000 --> 02:52.000 On your power book, it's function,

03:10.000 --> 03:11.000 This is worth it. 03:11.000 --> 03:12.000 I'm doing it. 03:12.000 --> 03:13.000 Rain. 03:13.000 --> 03:16.000 I'm almost out. 03:16.000 --> 03:18.000 Shoot. 03:18.000 -->

Shoot. 03:43.000 --> 03:44.000 Form automated. 03:44.000 --> 03:45.000 Filin' forms. 03:45.000 --> 03:46.000 I get it. 03:46.000 --> 03:47.000 Shoot. 03:47.000 --> 03:48.000 I want to say how I do it. 03:48.000 --> 03:49.000 I get it. 03:49.000 --> 03:50.000 I'll take you to the top of the page all the way. 03:50.000 --> 03:53.000 You can take, the top of the page all the way. 03:53.000 --> 03:55.000 It can rotate, um. 03:55.000 --> 03:56.000 Can rotate. 03:56.000 --> 03:59.000 Now I just need to find out how I can actually, um. 03:59.000 --> 04:00.000 Can rotate. 04:00.000 --> 04:02.000 You get, you get my drift there. 04:02.000 --> 04:04.000 You get, you get my drift there. 04:04.000 --> 04:05.000 Um, let's see. 04:05.000 --> 04:06.000 Ah! 04:06.000 --> 04:07.000 Of course. 04:07.000 --> 04:08.000 Remember Ribball Day? 04:08.000 --> 04:12.000 Yeah, probably has an MP3 player. 04:12.000 --> 04:14.000 It's the... 04:14.000 --> 04:18.000 on your power, this function, or on your regular kids, 04:18.000 --> 04:20.000 the control key, the control key, the control key, 04:20.000 --> 04:24.000 the control key, the control key, the control key. 04:24.000 --> 04:26.000 So anyway, and a more good news, 04:26.000 --> 04:29.000 it's actually cheaper if you want to know what this is all about. 04:29.000 --> 04:32.000 You want to know this way to complicated and discuss. 04:32.000 --> 04:35.000 Let's take it some more about, to come over to our side. 04:35.000 --> 04:37.000 You got to listen to the whole thing. 04:39.000 --> 04:41.000 No, I just... 04:41.000 --> 04:42.000 No, I just... 04:42.000 --> 04:43.000 That is the answer. 04:43.000 --> 04:45.000 It's just a great place to get stuff. 04:45.000 --> 04:47.000 It's just a great place to get stuff. 04:47.000 --> 04:49.000 No, this is an excellent way to do it. 04:49.000 --> 04:51.000 No, this is an excellent way to do it. 04:51.000 --> 04:53.000 No, I just need... 04:53.000 --> 04:55.000 No, I just need... 04:55.000 --> 04:57.000 Hey, guess what? 04:57.000 --> 04:59.000 No, I just... 04:59.000 --> 05:01.000 reagis all the... 05:01.000 --> 05:03.000 reagis all the... 05:03.000 --> 05:05.000 No, I just... 05:05.000 --> 05:07.000 No, I just absolutely... 05:07.000 --> 05:09.000 No, I just... 05:09.000 --> 05:10.000 I don't know, I just... 05:10.000 --> 05:12.000 It just wants you to know that. 05:12.000 --> 05:13.000 Uh... 05:13.000 --> 05:15.000 ... 05:15.000 --> 05:16.000 ... 05:16.000 --> 05:17.000 ... 05:17.000 --> 05:19.000 ... 05:19.000 --> 05:20.000 ... 05:20.000 --> 05:21.000 ... 05:21.000 --> 05:23.000 ... 05:23.000 --> 05:24.000 ... 05:24.000 --> 05:25.000 ... 05:25.000 --> 05:26.000 ... 05:26.000 --> 05:27.000 ... 05:27.000 --> 05:30.000 Just like we were in a freaking movie with like... 05:30.000 --> 05:31.000 ... 05:31.000 --> 05:32.000 ...This is like a movie set. 05:32.000 --> 05:35.000 My life is like a movie set, which I installed myself, right? 05:35.000 --> 05:38.000 I don't think that's gonna work. 05:38.000 --> 05:41.000 Nothing works anymore. 05:41.000 --> 05:44.000 Bingo, bingo, bingo, bingo, god. 05:44.000 --> 05:46.000 This is sad. 05:46.000 --> 05:48.000 Uh-huh. 05:48.000 --> 05:50.000 It's very frustrating for him, I'm sure. 05:50.000 --> 05:53.000 Well, why doesn't he just use the iPod? 05:53.000 --> 05:54.000 Okay. 05:54.000 --> 05:55.000 The Adam's groove mix. 05:55.000 --> 05:57.000 It's the ego filler for the day. 05:57.000 --> 05:58.000 God love it. 05:58.000 --> 06:00.000 Thank you very much. 06:01.000 --> 06:02.000 Okay. 06:02.000 --> 06:03.000 That's... 06:03.000 --> 06:05.000 You can find that an open podcast that it works. 06:05.000 --> 06:06.000 It's number one, three, four, eight. 06:06.000 --> 06:07.000 Amazing. 06:07.000 --> 06:09.000 One thousand, three hundred, four, eight podcast. 06:09.000 --> 06:10.000 Been pumped through that already. 06:10.000 --> 06:11.000 That's pretty cool. 06:11.000 --> 06:12.000 Okay. 06:12.000 --> 06:15.000 Um, so again, about, about today's weather. 06:15.000 --> 06:19.000 It's, uh, it's giving me a real, real drive towards flying today. 06:19.000 --> 06:20.000 Let me tell you. 06:20.000 --> 06:24.000 Um, and, uh, next week, I'm actually gonna go on another, uh, 06:24.000 --> 06:29.000 I think, uh, maybe I can convince the wind commander to fly me or let me fly over the... 06:29.000 --> 06:32.000 Uh, over the, uh, over the canal. 06:32.000 --> 06:37.000 Um, that would be the channel, I mean, uh, between the mainland and the UK. 06:37.000 --> 06:43.000 So maybe, uh, I'm gonna go to Antwerp on, see, maybe Tuesday, 06:43.000 --> 06:46.000 and then maybe fly back Wednesday or whatever. 06:46.000 --> 06:50.000 I mean, I'm training really, really hard, uh, because somewhere in June, 06:50.000 --> 06:53.000 I will be doing my test for my PPL. 06:53.000 --> 06:57.000 And it has to happen in the States, because I have, I'm doing an FAA certification. 06:57.000 --> 06:59.000 So, uh, looking forward to that. 06:59.000 --> 07:02.000 And then maybe, maybe we'll actually do that podcast from the air. 07:02.000 --> 07:04.000 It's just that we're training so hard. 07:04.000 --> 07:06.000 There's no time to concentrate on talking to you guys. 07:06.000 --> 07:09.000 You basically just have to sit there and listen to, uh, 07:09.000 --> 07:11.000 to William take me through all the motions, berating me. 07:11.000 --> 07:14.000 And it's kind of funny, though, the way he, the way he teaches is he's really, uh, 07:14.000 --> 07:16.000 he's like, uh, he's like, uh, when he's burning, guys. 07:16.000 --> 07:17.000 Come on, man. 07:17.000 --> 07:19.000 I've gotta push the metal to metal is what we need. 07:19.000 --> 07:21.000 So maybe we'll do that next week. 07:21.000 --> 07:23.000 Doug Ritter sent me an email. 07:23.000 --> 07:26.000 He says, um, Adam, let's step into the time machine. 07:26.000 --> 07:29.000 And pretend Christina was actually born Christopher, 07:29.000 --> 07:33.000 which is interesting because that was the name we would have chosen 07:33.000 --> 07:35.000 if Christina had been a boy. 07:35.000 --> 07:39.000 Would you let Chris, do you want to know why, by the way? 07:39.000 --> 07:42.000 Uh, the reason why is because, uh, 07:42.000 --> 07:45.000 Christina was conceived at Christmas time. 07:45.000 --> 07:50.000 And we, we know this for a fact due to careful, 07:50.000 --> 07:53.000 um, archival work of my wife. 07:54.000 --> 07:56.000 He could calculate it precisely back to Christmas. 07:56.000 --> 08:00.000 And it was a loving moment underneath the dinner table. 08:00.000 --> 08:02.000 It was just the do of us that didn't matter. 08:02.000 --> 08:04.000 Anyway, so let's step into that time machine. 08:04.000 --> 08:06.000 Present, pretend Christina was actually born Christopher. 08:06.000 --> 08:11.000 Would you let Christopher stay at Michael Jackson's house with all the, uh, 08:11.000 --> 08:14.000 all the, actually he, he opened it up by saying, um, 08:14.000 --> 08:17.000 you know, this is, uh, you know, 08:17.000 --> 08:20.000 so this is the real question that you should be asking yourself. 08:20.000 --> 08:22.000 And I replied to him, Doug and Philadelphia said, 08:22.000 --> 08:24.000 you fucking crazy. 08:24.000 --> 08:27.000 You know, I wouldn't let my wife stay at Michael Jackson's house. 08:27.000 --> 08:29.000 I don't let my daughter stay, you know, 08:29.000 --> 08:31.000 even at her friend's house, it takes me, you know, 08:31.000 --> 08:32.000 I want to meet the parents. 08:32.000 --> 08:33.000 I want to know what's going on. 08:33.000 --> 08:35.000 I want to know where they're going to be sleeping. 08:35.000 --> 08:36.000 You know, of course not. 08:36.000 --> 08:39.000 I mean, that's just a stupid of these parents to, you know, 08:39.000 --> 08:43.000 to, or cunning as you will, um, 08:43.000 --> 08:45.000 you know, just, there's your answer. 08:45.000 --> 08:46.000 No, of course not. 08:46.000 --> 08:47.000 There's no reason to. 08:47.000 --> 08:49.000 Absolutely no reason. 08:49.000 --> 08:53.000 But that still doesn't mean that Michael Jackson is guilty 08:53.000 --> 08:56.000 just because he's fucking wacky or he's perceived as wacky 08:56.000 --> 08:58.000 because when I met him, he wasn't that wacky. 08:58.000 --> 09:01.000 Yeah, no more wacky than anyone else in show business. 09:01.000 --> 09:05.000 Um, but, you know, innocent until proven guilty. 09:05.000 --> 09:07.000 And that goes for court gestures as well, 09:07.000 --> 09:09.000 at least last time I checked the law I did. 09:09.000 --> 09:11.000 I've been getting some, um, 09:11.000 --> 09:15.000 comments about, uh, this blip at the beginning of each show, 09:15.000 --> 09:17.000 which, of course, I'm hearing it as well. 09:17.000 --> 09:22.000 You'll know that, um, I've moved over to using the iRiver iFP799 09:22.000 --> 09:24.000 as my mastering device. 09:24.000 --> 09:28.000 So essentially everything that happens here in the studio at the cottage, 09:28.000 --> 09:31.000 uh, winds up going through a little cable into the iRiver 09:31.000 --> 09:33.000 and I actually stick my headphones into the iRiver. 09:33.000 --> 09:35.000 So I can hear what's really being recorded. 09:35.000 --> 09:37.000 I can hear the levels and everything. 09:37.000 --> 09:39.000 So I think that that's getting much better. 09:39.000 --> 09:42.000 Um, but for some reason, when I turn on the recording, 09:42.000 --> 09:43.000 and this doesn't happen. 09:43.000 --> 09:46.000 I played back on the iRiver, but only when it converts to an MP3, 09:46.000 --> 09:51.000 you hear this little, this irritating, like, digital burp at the beginning. 09:51.000 --> 09:53.000 And I think there's a way to set up the iRiver, 09:53.000 --> 09:58.000 so that it won't start recording until it receives a signal. 09:58.000 --> 10:01.000 Um, but of course, I don't have the manual anymore. 10:01.000 --> 10:04.000 You know, that got tossed out with the box. 10:04.000 --> 10:07.000 Um, and I can't quite figure out how to do that anymore. 10:07.000 --> 10:10.000 So it's a certain key or button combination. 10:10.000 --> 10:12.000 So if you know how to do that, let me know. 10:12.000 --> 10:14.000 And I'll try that and see if that makes a difference. 10:14.000 --> 10:16.000 Because it is totally annoying. 10:16.000 --> 10:21.000 The only way to fix it would be to, uh, 10:21.000 --> 10:28.000 essentially, uh, export the MP3 and recompress it again after it's already recorded and cut off that one bit. 10:28.000 --> 10:30.000 Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to that. 10:30.000 --> 10:37.000 And I think that, you know, once we go from the iRiver format to MP3 from MP3 to AIFF from AIFF to MP3, 10:37.000 --> 10:40.000 God knows what's going to be left over. 10:41.000 --> 10:44.000 And so another irritating thing is this buzz that I found in my microphone. 10:44.000 --> 10:46.000 Lots of email came in, it came in about that. 10:46.000 --> 10:48.000 And I don't want to demonstrate this again. 10:48.000 --> 10:49.000 You can't hear the buzz now. 10:49.000 --> 10:50.000 I'm trying to mic us loud as possible. 10:50.000 --> 10:53.000 Now when I turn the microphone a little bit towards the ceiling, 10:53.000 --> 10:55.000 you'll hear the buzz come in. 10:55.000 --> 10:57.000 I'll listen to this. 10:57.000 --> 10:59.000 There it is. 10:59.000 --> 11:01.000 And I discovered, uh, today. 11:01.000 --> 11:03.000 So I'm turning it back down. 11:03.000 --> 11:07.000 I'm discovered today that I have the same with microphone two here in the studio. 11:07.000 --> 11:09.000 I'm going to open that one up. 11:09.000 --> 11:11.000 Oh, actually it's not buzzing at all right now. 11:11.000 --> 11:13.000 Let's see. Oh yeah, it's not buzzing now, 11:13.000 --> 11:15.000 but when I turn it towards the window, 11:15.000 --> 11:17.000 let me turn down mic one. 11:17.000 --> 11:18.000 Okay, so that's mic two. 11:18.000 --> 11:21.000 Listen, as I turn it towards the window. 11:21.000 --> 11:23.000 There it is again. 11:23.000 --> 11:26.000 So it actually stayed on. 11:26.000 --> 11:29.000 It actually stayed at the same, uh, 11:29.000 --> 11:31.000 yeah, it was horizontal. 11:31.000 --> 11:33.000 But as I move it towards the window, it starts the buzz. 11:33.000 --> 11:36.000 Now I got all kinds of email and I really appreciate it. 11:36.000 --> 11:41.000 Uh, email saying, you know, do you have fluorescent light in your office? 11:41.000 --> 11:42.000 Uh, no. 11:42.000 --> 11:44.000 I don't have fluorescent light. 11:44.000 --> 11:45.000 Do you have dimmers? 11:45.000 --> 11:48.000 Yes, I've got a million fucking dimmers throughout the entire goddamn house. 11:48.000 --> 11:52.000 Uh, and by the way, I agree with the philosophy that Patricia has. 11:52.000 --> 11:54.000 Women over 15 need dim lighting. 11:54.000 --> 11:59.000 And quite honestly, guys over 40 can benefit from that as well in multiple ways. 11:59.000 --> 12:01.000 So yeah, there's lots of dimmers. 12:01.000 --> 12:04.000 Um, every, I've tried it with everything off, everything on full blast. 12:04.000 --> 12:06.000 I've turned the whole house off. 12:06.000 --> 12:11.000 Um, one thing that came in that I thought was pretty plausible was that it was probably coming from my monitor. 12:11.000 --> 12:16.000 And I have, um, one of those apple, uh, cinema displays are my desktop. 12:16.000 --> 12:17.000 The mics are pretty close to it. 12:17.000 --> 12:21.000 Although the mic, this mic two hours just, uh, demonstrating to you. 12:21.000 --> 12:25.000 I'm actually moving it away from that monitor when it picks up. 12:25.000 --> 12:31.000 So I really don't know what it is until, until I received this. 12:32.000 --> 12:35.000 This is a message for the light form known as Adam Curry. 12:35.000 --> 12:38.000 This is Jill L from the planet VW7. 12:38.000 --> 12:43.000 The button sounds you have been getting in your equipment recently are actually secret messages from space. 12:43.000 --> 12:47.000 Didn't you notice they get louder when you point your microphone through the stars? 12:47.000 --> 12:49.000 Actually, it's becoming very frustrating. 12:49.000 --> 12:53.000 Every time you get new equipment, we have to recalibate hours. 12:53.000 --> 12:55.000 And you seem to buy new equipment every week. 12:55.000 --> 12:56.000 Stop it. 12:56.000 --> 12:58.000 It's becoming very tedious. 12:58.000 --> 13:03.000 Anyhow, what we've been trying to tell you is to go to www.nogagruplex.com 13:03.000 --> 13:05.000 and listen to the bugcast. 13:05.000 --> 13:13.000 After all, Volkswagen New Beetles are actually spacecraft for our invasion, uh, our tourist industry. 13:13.000 --> 13:17.000 So the next time you see a Volkswagen Beetle on the road, smile and wave. 13:17.000 --> 13:19.000 Or we will destroy you. 13:19.000 --> 13:22.000 Once again, listen to the NoGagruplex.com bugcast. 13:22.000 --> 13:24.000 This is Joe L signing off. 13:25.000 --> 13:26.000 Alright, hold on. 13:26.000 --> 13:27.000 I was waiting for you guys. 13:27.000 --> 13:29.000 Let me see if I can do this. 13:29.000 --> 13:32.000 Uh, let me just get the preset there. 13:32.000 --> 13:33.000 Hello? 13:33.000 --> 13:35.000 Let me see if I can get this to work. 13:35.000 --> 13:36.000 Oh, man. 13:36.000 --> 13:37.000 I had it all set up. 13:37.000 --> 13:39.000 How can we done the work now? 13:39.000 --> 13:42.000 Wait, maybe I have to go up to three. 13:44.000 --> 13:45.000 Hello? 13:45.000 --> 13:46.000 No, that's not it. 13:46.000 --> 13:47.000 Hold on. 13:50.000 --> 13:51.000 Oh, dude. 13:51.000 --> 13:52.000 I was so ready for this too. 13:52.000 --> 13:53.000 Okay. 13:53.000 --> 13:54.000 Let's try it. 13:54.000 --> 13:57.000 Let's see if we can turn it off. 13:57.000 --> 13:58.000 Hello? 13:58.000 --> 13:59.000 Hello, bloodcast. 13:59.000 --> 14:00.000 Hello? 14:00.000 --> 14:02.000 Congrats from reinforced with Victor Dean. 14:02.000 --> 14:04.000 This is YOUR leader talking. 14:04.000 --> 14:08.000 You will follow our directions, I'll give you with us. 14:08.000 --> 14:13.000 Arne Dolane is gorgeous. 14:19.000 --> 14:20.000 Alright. 14:20.000 --> 14:22.000 Now of course it won't switch that. 14:22.000 --> 14:43.320 Oh hold on let me see I can set everything back to the way it was okay how's that now I'll just buy 14:43.320 --> 14:49.340 pastel deal with that later okay I always fund the play with the new equipment I love 14:49.340 --> 14:56.580 teasing you guys with it. I'll talk about radio for a second. I've been a radio guy since I 14:56.580 --> 15:02.740 was really well it really since I was like six years old my parents gave me my first 15:02.740 --> 15:09.020 Sony transistor radio was an FM radio. Wait was it FM? I think it was just AM actually. It 15:09.020 --> 15:12.580 wasn't AM little square transistor radio and I used to put it under my pillow and listen 15:12.580 --> 15:16.260 to like basketball games and that was the thing I could really receive the most and what 15:16.260 --> 15:21.140 I remember most from my youth as listening to basketball games under the with the radio under 15:21.140 --> 15:25.860 my pillow and then waking up with the blasting you know with the full blast of my parents 15:25.860 --> 15:32.460 basically fumbling to try and turn it off. And when I was 14 I started building my own transmitters 15:32.460 --> 15:39.860 from based on the radio shack 100 projects in one box and I would have my mom drive around 15:39.860 --> 15:43.180 the block to see how far it would go. Before you knew what I had an antenna and before you 15:43.180 --> 15:47.580 knew that I had built a little mixer and I was mixing records and you know people around 15:47.580 --> 15:52.220 the block were basically able to listen to a show that I did which was totally legal but 15:52.220 --> 16:00.460 it was pretty harmless. But that's really what radio is about. It's about communities 16:00.460 --> 16:06.860 and when I was 15 I went to work it was not an unpaid job as a volunteer gig for radio 16:06.860 --> 16:12.860 tulipa which was located in the tulip hospital in Omsalphane about 15 miles from where 16:12.860 --> 16:18.060 I lived and several times a week I'd go there after hours and you know I would do well 16:18.060 --> 16:25.860 I started off as an engineer only and then later went on to to do some hosting stuff. 16:25.860 --> 16:31.180 And we'd literally go walk through all the wards and all the private rooms and we get 16:31.180 --> 16:34.500 everyone you know to fill out request forms and we see you want to come down and watch 16:34.500 --> 16:39.620 a show and we had a big auditorium next to the studio and we wheeled the beds down and 16:39.620 --> 16:43.060 we tried to make a party for these people and that was also in in a way it's community and 16:43.060 --> 16:48.340 then I started working for pirate radio in Amsterdam at Dacey Bell, decibel radio which was 16:48.340 --> 16:53.380 we were on 72 hours per week in the weekend only and it was the rhythm of the capital 16:53.380 --> 16:57.620 of the Netherlands. Of course we consider Amsterdam to be the capital not with the government 16:57.700 --> 17:05.060 it's but it's the capital and it was extremely extremely popular in the early 80s again 17:05.060 --> 17:09.940 and not so much about the reach you know we could only really hit Amsterdam but we had Amsterdam 17:09.940 --> 17:14.740 it was our fricking town you know when I was in the hospital I had those patients it was our audience 17:14.740 --> 17:20.820 so that's very much what what web logs felt like when they first came around feedback loops 17:20.820 --> 17:26.980 another great thing about radio is you have instantaneous feedback through telephones that's what 17:27.060 --> 17:32.580 most radio stations based on used to be you know mail in a postcard or letter or whatever now 17:32.580 --> 17:38.420 of course we've got email and really direct feedback loops but it's really about you know the 17:38.420 --> 17:42.980 connection between the person running the board if you will who's on the air at that moment 17:42.980 --> 17:48.740 who's running the show whatever type of show it is and that audience that's out there I think 17:48.740 --> 17:54.500 what what started I also of course is based on cheap distribution radio distribution is relatively 17:54.580 --> 17:59.220 simple you know unless you're trying to reach the entire country and you need a huge network of 17:59.220 --> 18:03.620 stations you know essentially you can get a station going just like it sounds kind of shitty 18:10.980 --> 18:15.940 within the while I set the mic actually I had my settings here hold on 18:17.300 --> 18:20.020 hope you're on my me doing this on your time let me just make sure I had 18:20.820 --> 18:26.340 all my settings right so those two were like that that was a little bit lower this was set 18:26.980 --> 18:32.100 comfort well oh that sounds nice all of a sudden and it that's a little bit on the loud side 18:33.380 --> 18:39.860 so maybe a little bit less there this was set up there we go that was also set up so I can open 18:39.860 --> 18:47.780 that a little more sorry about all this that was set to there that was set up like there and that 18:47.780 --> 18:54.820 was like there two two let's just see if we have a little bit of echo okay perfect oh there we go 18:55.540 --> 19:02.820 and I'd saved it so carefully in memory and I was supposed to let me just just save that now into 19:02.820 --> 19:09.460 memory I'd done it so perfectly I thought right okay sorry so we'll get back to the radio stuff here 19:10.260 --> 19:17.380 um cheap distribution that's what I was talking about totally you know every college in America 19:17.380 --> 19:24.020 I can basically have a 10 watt you know sun up the sun down FM transmitter that basically will 19:24.020 --> 19:31.460 broadcast to the the community that being the school and whatever community is you know surrounds 19:31.460 --> 19:36.900 the school which of course I'm trying to tighten up my mic stand here involves local commerce 19:36.980 --> 19:43.300 that probably caters to the community which would be the students decentralized you know that's 19:43.300 --> 19:47.460 kind of the kind of we've seen the opposite of that take place in radio in the last couple of years 19:48.260 --> 19:52.580 but if you ever been to a radio station I'm not talking about a major market in New York 19:52.580 --> 19:59.620 or Los Angeles or you know a big P1 market radio station P1 by the way stands for priority one 19:59.620 --> 20:04.020 so that means it's one of the stations people will hit first when they get into the car and hit 20:04.820 --> 20:09.220 the preset buttons then you've probably seen that it's usually you know an office 20:09.780 --> 20:15.220 an office suite with the cubby when that cubby holes with the so we're not looking for cubicles 20:15.860 --> 20:22.340 and there's a station manager a sales manager who is probably also the 20:23.460 --> 20:26.660 promotions manager at the same time then you might have a music 20:27.460 --> 20:31.220 director it's probably the program director I mean it's only three or four people that can really run a 20:31.220 --> 20:35.220 station like this because it's just not a lot of money in it and and if you've ever seen these 20:35.220 --> 20:44.260 studios it looks like shit you know they're uh they're beat up uh overused uh studios that are 20:44.260 --> 20:48.660 just you know that just don't cost a lot of money to really put together because radio once you've 20:48.660 --> 20:52.900 got your basics you know it's the more listeners you get the more money you're gonna make that's 20:52.900 --> 20:57.300 all then it's just into comes down to promotions which of course a bit coming incredible art in 20:58.260 --> 21:01.780 promoting it now here's what I think what happened with radio where it started to go wrong 21:03.460 --> 21:07.540 I believe that just as with television by the way certainly in the United States 21:09.140 --> 21:16.660 advertisers started to figure out intuitively that the numbers don't add up the numbers that radio station 21:16.660 --> 21:23.460 say they have in listeners and boy they're graded something they call extrapolation they can extrapolate 21:23.540 --> 21:32.260 numbers in radio just to an uncanny level with you know educated men who listen for three seconds per 21:32.260 --> 21:38.180 day you know you get credit in the ratings if someone remembers your disjockeys name or the name of the 21:38.180 --> 21:43.700 show and it's just all these these little blue poles and things that basically help you get some numbers 21:43.700 --> 21:48.740 on paper but doesn't really add up to what the advertisers were seeing in return on investment 21:48.740 --> 21:53.940 of money spent and this is just based upon my experience in in the business and what I've seen 21:53.940 --> 21:58.820 and what I think so it's not necessarily fact but I really have a strong belief that this is what 21:58.820 --> 22:04.580 happened so we had to get more return on the investment for the advertisers and what works in that 22:04.580 --> 22:10.900 case is repetition that's what a lot of marketing is repetition repetition repetition you're going to 22:10.900 --> 22:19.060 remember the jingle or the slogan or the sign or whatever logo it is that is repeated in as 22:19.060 --> 22:24.500 many places as possible now of course that's not very cost effective that is only for the big boys 22:24.500 --> 22:29.620 for the big brands who really need a shotgun approach or use a shotgun approach and can 22:29.620 --> 22:35.220 basically get away with it so I think that what we're seeing what we saw first with web logs 22:36.100 --> 22:43.780 is a complete understanding of what this could be by radio people I saw web logs in a 22:43.780 --> 22:48.180 quite a minute this is the broadcasting I was always thinking about on the internet only we can't 22:48.180 --> 22:54.420 do it with audio and video yet we're going to do it this way and you can still get an incredible 22:54.420 --> 23:02.660 reach in fact if you go back a couple of years when the very first aggregator came out in radio 23:02.660 --> 23:08.900 userland I actually bought a position in that aggregator so that I would be in the default 23:08.900 --> 23:14.420 install because I knew that if I could just get in and I would be default somewhere that people 23:14.420 --> 23:17.860 basically would just leave it there and hopefully I could you know create enough compelling 23:17.860 --> 23:21.940 content that that it would be interesting and people would not unsubscribe or at least they wouldn't 23:21.940 --> 23:27.940 find it irritating to get rid of the subscription but I knew that we had this broadcast mechanism 23:28.020 --> 23:35.700 for small communities but instead of it being communities of geography we are going we started 23:35.700 --> 23:41.860 with web logs looking at communities of interest and interest being a number of things you know 23:41.860 --> 23:46.100 could be just the interesting yourself yeah I'm interested myself I write about myself 23:46.100 --> 23:50.500 people who want to know about me you can find out about me what we saw a lot of people 23:51.300 --> 23:57.060 become experts on particular topics start web logs about those topics and actually become 23:57.140 --> 24:01.300 quite successful because once Google recognizes you through page ranking that you're an expert on 24:01.300 --> 24:07.300 a particular topic you're going to get all the search results to your web log and you know that's 24:07.300 --> 24:12.740 why we're looking at gadget you know those guys are doing exactly exactly that and their community 24:12.740 --> 24:19.940 is going to be quite large because gadgets is a large community so now that we have podcasting 24:20.660 --> 24:26.740 I believe that we're at least if we want to look at the aspect of who you're addressing it's the 24:26.740 --> 24:34.020 same thing it's exactly the same thing as radio um you're talking to a community of interest 24:34.020 --> 24:38.100 it doesn't have to be very large you have your direct feedback loop you have your distribution 24:38.100 --> 24:43.460 mechanism and if you so choose then you can also run commerce through that in exactly the same way 24:43.460 --> 24:47.460 that it's being done with radio songs live happy to show I'm on say 24:48.340 --> 24:52.420 man it's not noisy outside the studio today so without all the repetition I don't think it's 24:52.420 --> 24:56.820 necessary because you've you've got your pretty qualified audience subscribe to the show you know 24:56.820 --> 25:03.140 so they're going to be waiting to to hear about products and services that will make sense to them 25:03.140 --> 25:07.140 so you know you you want to try and pick and choose what what you're going to be advertising 25:07.140 --> 25:13.060 of course arguably your entire audience may want to cook or Pepsi so that's that's something to 25:13.140 --> 25:21.620 consider um man it is kind of noisy it's like all kinds of air traffic today 25:22.580 --> 25:30.100 damn all right so back to the podcast see it as everyone having a transmitter even though we 25:30.100 --> 25:34.340 don't even know stank and transmitters not everybody has to make money not everybody wants to make 25:34.340 --> 25:41.380 money and guess what very very few people if anybody will make the kind of money that we've seen 25:41.380 --> 25:48.100 in the previous broadcast distribution world I mean once you can lock something out or it's 25:48.100 --> 25:54.420 like someone out or you know make the distribution only available to those who have frequencies etc 25:54.420 --> 26:00.500 and transmitters then you can charge much more so we're on a on a very level playing field all 26:00.500 --> 26:07.220 of a sudden where it's going to come down to quality and how business like you are if you want to 26:07.300 --> 26:14.180 make a business out of this and there's nothing stopping anybody but there's also nothing forcing 26:14.180 --> 26:20.980 anybody into doing that so anyway so um I got to say and that props to Dave on this one when he 26:20.980 --> 26:27.700 came out with radio user land which was one of the I think the first first desktop web blog tool 26:27.700 --> 26:33.620 content management system um immediately I said what this makes so much sense and I don't think 26:33.620 --> 26:37.860 anybody got it I think as it's probably around the Napster time as well people are thinking about so 26:37.860 --> 26:41.780 what are you going to do trade songs and stuff like that and you know I don't think anyone was really 26:41.780 --> 26:45.940 understanding what he meant at the time but it really is with its publishing subscribe mechanism it 26:45.940 --> 26:52.900 really is a radio you know it's it's exactly what we're talking about here um now if we can only 26:52.900 --> 26:58.020 just bake some of this stuff into uh into the iPods or MP3 players and when we've been through that 26:58.660 --> 27:06.980 many times it will be beautiful so anyway that's my bit about radio for today we call it radio 27:06.980 --> 27:12.740 we call it podcasting whatever you want to call it it's about communities bigger small and depending on 27:12.740 --> 27:17.620 your type of community that will depend on where you can go with it so I kind of a 27:18.820 --> 27:24.740 little bit of good news well not really good news but Bernie Ebers is it Bernie Ebers who is the 27:24.820 --> 27:35.700 CEO of WorldCom who was apparently at least partly responsible for the collapse of WorldCom 27:38.660 --> 27:45.780 and subsequently one of the largest bankruptcy filings in US corporate history I guess he was 27:46.660 --> 27:54.500 convicted of fraud 11 billion dollars worth of it and I have to say that one of my companies 27:54.580 --> 28:02.580 the data barn was also affected by non-payments from WorldCom so enjoy your stay in jail Mr Ebers 28:03.300 --> 28:11.300 enjoy your stay. Warning the following song which is not a mashup it's actually something that 28:11.300 --> 28:17.300 would be probably even better for cover real is without a doubt not say for work you may not notice 28:17.300 --> 28:19.300 it immediately but trust me 28:21.250 --> 29:50.900 [ Music ] 29:50.900 --> 30:09.220 come in straight out of Compton you know Gordon on the source code I love cover versions 30:09.220 --> 30:13.460 like that you know it just goes to show that a good song is a good song is a good song 30:14.100 --> 30:19.060 two new iPod or categories uh putting today and there's a lot more in the queue and also 30:19.060 --> 30:26.260 if you've submitted for any of the categories we're running about four to five days behind right now 30:26.260 --> 30:30.820 some of the categories are are almost immediate but this thing is just growing exponentially which 30:30.820 --> 30:36.100 of course is the way it's set up to grow we have a transportation node now and we have an automotive 30:36.100 --> 30:43.860 node so be sure to check those out on ipodder.org and great news about Lars Ulrich from Metallica 30:44.500 --> 30:50.340 he is actually working on bringing Metallica which is the great mashups between the beetles and 30:50.340 --> 30:54.900 Metallica I should have not even a mashup it's a it's a group playing nice voice mail actually 30:54.900 --> 30:59.380 let me bring up the story here I have a link to it in my uh in my notes home on 31:00.180 --> 31:05.060 I'll bring up the web page and I can actually read bits of it to you because this is uh this was 31:05.060 --> 31:11.620 pretty messed up we actually played some Metallica on on the source code a while back oh man what is this 31:11.700 --> 31:20.180 why is it opening up safari hold on a second I wanted to open up oh man this is not going the way 31:20.180 --> 31:31.380 I wanted to hold on so it's these beetle songs which have been modified in Lyric and obviously 31:31.380 --> 31:38.100 in musical content to sound more like Metallica was doing them hold on let me I've got the 31:38.180 --> 31:44.820 I've got the URL now is he pasted in here we go I was on Boeing Boeing Boeing Boeing dot net here we go 31:45.940 --> 31:49.780 Mr. Lyric Ulrich no stranger to matters of intellectual property law on the internet 31:50.500 --> 31:52.100 we'll get to that piece in a second here we go 31:54.660 --> 31:58.260 Okay as reportedly as reported previously on Boeing Sony music accused 31:58.260 --> 32:03.780 Metallica of violating copyright laws demanded their webmaster pay unspecified damages 32:03.860 --> 32:09.780 and force the bands eyes p to shut down the website but now Lars has volunteered to provide assistance 32:09.780 --> 32:16.500 with legal negotiations for Metallica and asked Metallica's long-time attorney p 32:17.300 --> 32:22.580 paterno to try and diffuse the situation with Sony on behalf of the dudes from Milwaukee so Sony is now 32:22.580 --> 32:27.540 agreed to drop the case which is interesting that Lars is helping out five years ago the story goes on 32:27.540 --> 32:32.420 he stood on the steps of Napster hauling boxes full of 300,000 names all people who said we're 32:32.420 --> 32:36.580 using Napster to steal Metallica tunes but things have changed that debate was about who 32:36.580 --> 32:41.380 profited from Metallica's music he says this one and check this out is about creative rights 32:41.380 --> 32:46.420 at the heart of rock and roll itself. Lars says he believes that cover bands, mashups and the 32:46.420 --> 32:53.220 right to reinterpret art on the internet are things worth fighting for. I'm right I like that you know 32:53.220 --> 32:58.740 where's I with a little down on Lars in the boys this is very very cool so it looks like 32:58.740 --> 33:03.300 I don't know if we're actually going to be able to play Metallica songs anymore but I certainly 33:03.300 --> 33:08.740 would love to. 33:10.020 --> 33:16.020 I got a lot of with y'all, Poles.
