00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
Delta Shira Charley

00:05.000 --> 00:08.000
2 8 9

00:08.000 --> 00:14.000
We here at Legal Legal
Television

00:14.000 --> 00:16.000
Bring you exclusive live
coverage

00:16.000 --> 00:18.000
of the man versus Adam Curry
trial.

00:18.000 --> 00:20.000
We take you now to the
courtroom.

00:20.000 --> 00:23.000
Hey Lars, for the Apple Church,

00:23.000 --> 00:25.000
on a handgun.

00:25.000 --> 00:27.000
This is federal court case

00:27.000 --> 00:32.000
1 0 0 0 0 9

00:32.000 --> 00:34.000
And the charge is against the
defendant.

00:34.000 --> 00:39.000
Adam Curry is lack of respect
for music establishment.

00:39.000 --> 00:43.000
All those Mr. Clay, please.

00:43.000 --> 00:45.000
Your honor, my name is envy,

00:45.000 --> 00:47.000
and I am defending Mr. Curry.

00:47.000 --> 00:49.000
He plays guilty to being correct
in his opinion

00:49.000 --> 00:51.000
of the music established

00:51.000 --> 00:55.000
and not guilty for expressing
those feelings.

00:57.000 --> 01:02.000
You're honor, we find Mr. Curry
to be a disruptive force

01:02.000 --> 01:04.000
to the well-established music
industry

01:04.000 --> 01:07.000
and as the charges read,

01:07.000 --> 01:13.000
very disrespectful indeed.

01:13.000 --> 01:18.000
We find Mr. Curry to be a
disruptive force

01:18.000 --> 01:21.000
to the well-established music
industry

01:21.000 --> 01:24.000
and as the charges read,

01:24.000 --> 01:27.000
very disrespectful indeed.

01:27.000 --> 01:31.000
We'd play for the court the
following evidence.

01:31.000 --> 01:34.000
The issue of copyrights that you
sign over to them

01:34.000 --> 01:35.000
or assign them,

01:35.000 --> 01:39.000
and we heard about the Dutch
Buma Stemera.

01:39.000 --> 01:41.000
We heard about the German Gema,

01:41.000 --> 01:44.000
and now you're not going to
believe this.

01:44.000 --> 01:46.000
This is exactly what I was,

01:46.000 --> 01:48.000
I joked about this happening.

01:48.000 --> 01:49.000
I've choked about it.

01:49.000 --> 01:51.000
Okay, so essentially what is
happening here

01:52.000 --> 01:54.000
with the European rights
organizations

01:54.000 --> 01:56.000
and so far we know it's the
same.

01:56.000 --> 01:59.000
Also, it's for the Dutch, the
Germans, and the French.

01:59.000 --> 02:03.000
When you sign up with their
version of Ask Had BMI,

02:03.000 --> 02:07.000
you are not allowed to give away
any other rights to anyone.

02:07.000 --> 02:09.000
So you cannot say to a
podcaster,

02:09.000 --> 02:11.000
hey, go ahead, take my stuff

02:11.000 --> 02:13.000
and go and play it for free.

02:13.000 --> 02:15.000
That will be a breach of your
contract

02:15.000 --> 02:17.000
with that rights organization.

02:18.000 --> 02:21.000
It's like it's a conundrum, I
guess.

02:21.000 --> 02:25.000
So I feel that we need to
address this issue.

02:25.000 --> 02:26.000
I'm not quite sure.

02:26.000 --> 02:28.000
Is there one central
organization?

02:28.000 --> 02:29.000
I didn't find it.

02:29.000 --> 02:32.000
I didn't find that it works
across all of these rights
organizations.

02:32.000 --> 02:33.000
But this is wrong.

02:33.000 --> 02:34.000
I mean, if it's your property,

02:34.000 --> 02:36.000
then you should be able to
change that license

02:36.000 --> 02:37.000
however you want.

02:37.000 --> 02:39.000
I think it is a constitutional
right

02:39.000 --> 02:43.000
of these organizations to be the
only one to collect

02:43.000 --> 02:45.000
or not collect, I guess.

02:45.000 --> 02:48.000
On artists' copyright royalties.

02:48.000 --> 02:50.000
It's not just what it is.

02:50.000 --> 02:52.000
And with that, you're on a...

02:52.000 --> 02:55.000
the prosecution rests.

02:55.000 --> 02:59.000
Well, what does the defense have
to say to that?

02:59.000 --> 03:00.000
Your honor?

03:00.000 --> 03:02.000
The fact of the matter is...

03:02.000 --> 03:03.000
the truth hurts.

03:03.000 --> 03:07.000
In addition, the words spoken by
Mr. Curry simply reflect

03:07.000 --> 03:09.000
the feelings of thousands of
podcasters

03:09.000 --> 03:12.000
and millions of listeners across
the planet.

03:12.000 --> 03:14.000
I, your honor, and both a
podcaster

03:14.000 --> 03:16.000
and a listener of podcasters.

03:16.000 --> 03:18.000
I serve producer podcasters

03:18.000 --> 03:20.000
and in bedtime stories my kids
love

03:20.000 --> 03:22.000
and begin listening to
podcasters

03:22.000 --> 03:24.000
and then producing my podcasters

03:24.000 --> 03:27.000
do in part to the hard work by
the podfather

03:27.000 --> 03:28.000
Adam Curry.

03:28.000 --> 03:30.000
I for one agree with Mr. Curry

03:30.000 --> 03:32.000
and believe thousands and
thousands of people

03:32.000 --> 03:33.000
feel the same way.

03:33.000 --> 03:36.000
Whatever, that number is growing
every day, your honor.

03:36.000 --> 03:38.000
The ground swell has just begun.

03:38.000 --> 03:40.000
The tipping point is near.

03:40.000 --> 03:43.000
Your honor, do you want to
always be known as the judge

03:43.000 --> 03:46.000
that failed to support
podcasting?

03:46.000 --> 03:47.000
I do not think so.

03:47.000 --> 03:50.000
Your honor, I employ you to
listen to my podcasters

03:50.000 --> 03:53.000
bedtime stories my kids love in
items.

03:53.000 --> 03:55.000
And your honor, in closing,

03:55.000 --> 03:56.000
I am speaking for Mr. Curry

03:56.000 --> 03:59.000
and thousands of podcasters
across the world.

03:59.000 --> 04:00.000
Get off our back.

04:00.000 --> 04:02.000
We are not going away.

04:02.000 --> 04:05.000
And with that, your honor, the
defense rests.

04:05.000 --> 04:09.000
I am overwhelmed by the
compelling evidence

04:09.000 --> 04:10.000
presented.

04:10.000 --> 04:13.000
Mr. Curry is obviously
disrespectful

04:13.000 --> 04:15.000
to the established music
industry.

04:15.000 --> 04:17.000
Whatever, in light of the
growing audience

04:17.000 --> 04:20.000
and the obvious following of
Adam Curry's opinions

04:20.000 --> 04:23.000
indicated by the swelling number
of podcasters,

04:23.000 --> 04:25.000
both listeners and producers,

04:25.000 --> 04:28.000
I find Mr. Curry, my guilty.

04:29.000 --> 04:33.000
60 million dollars worth of
airplane

04:33.000 --> 04:35.000
strapped to my ass.

04:35.000 --> 04:38.000
Done the next generation radio
content in my ears.

04:38.000 --> 04:43.000
I like to think I'm flying you
to the future.

04:43.000 --> 04:45.000
I'm just kidding.

04:45.000 --> 04:47.000
And it's Wednesday.

04:47.000 --> 04:48.000
Hello, everybody.

04:48.000 --> 04:50.000
Finally, after weeks of
bitching,

04:50.000 --> 04:51.000
we've got one.

04:51.000 --> 04:53.000
A Hanukkah holiday pod save
music track.

04:53.000 --> 04:54.000
Good morning.

04:56.250 --> 07:28.750
[ Music ]

07:30.000 --> 07:33.000
Rock up here.

07:33.000 --> 07:34.000
All right.

07:34.000 --> 07:36.000
Enough people sent me that one.

07:36.000 --> 07:38.000
Thank you very much from the pod
save music network.

07:38.000 --> 07:41.000
The very first holiday Hanukkah
song.

07:41.000 --> 07:43.000
I'm sure we're more to follow.

07:44.000 --> 07:47.000
We missed Ramadan, but maybe
next year we'll catch up on
that.

07:47.000 --> 07:48.000
Hey, everybody.

07:48.000 --> 07:49.000
How you doing?

07:49.000 --> 07:51.000
Welcome to the daily source
code.

07:51.000 --> 07:55.000
I'm back in the studio at the
Curry Cottage in Gilford, United
Kingdom.

07:55.000 --> 07:58.000
Here for another week or so
before I head off to San
Francisco.

07:58.000 --> 08:01.000
One more time before Christmas.

08:01.000 --> 08:03.000
For a number of things.

08:03.000 --> 08:05.000
Man, man, man, man, man.

08:05.000 --> 08:07.000
It's been so busy last night.

08:07.000 --> 08:09.000
I had a really, a lot of
seconds.

08:09.000 --> 08:10.000
Let me just make sure.

08:10.000 --> 08:11.000
I found this.

08:11.000 --> 08:12.000
I think it's better.

08:12.000 --> 08:13.000
It's a little bit better.

08:13.000 --> 08:14.000
I got to work on this.

08:14.000 --> 08:17.000
I didn't sleep very well last
night for a number of reasons.

08:17.000 --> 08:24.000
The first is that yesterday was
another one of those 16 hour
days where, you know, I was,

08:24.000 --> 08:26.000
I, you know, I get up.

08:26.000 --> 08:32.000
Yesterday we did the cruiser
cast and around four o'clock.

08:32.000 --> 08:34.000
That's when San Francisco wakes
up.

08:34.000 --> 08:36.000
Everyone was back from a long
holiday.

08:36.000 --> 08:38.000
Thanksgiving weekend.

08:38.000 --> 08:39.000
And lots of calls.

08:39.000 --> 08:44.000
And actually, I got really
excited about some of the
conversations we had yesterday.

08:44.000 --> 08:46.000
We had everybody in the office
on it.

08:46.000 --> 08:47.000
And I was on it.

08:47.000 --> 08:49.000
I call in on a conference call
or Skype.

08:49.000 --> 08:54.000
Sometimes I do video depending
on where, however, you know, we
have multiple ways of
connecting.

08:54.000 --> 08:55.000
And we had everybody.

08:55.000 --> 08:57.000
We had software engineers.

08:57.000 --> 08:58.000
We had designers.

08:58.000 --> 09:04.000
We had promotion marketing,
sales, accounting, controller,
finance, operations.

09:04.000 --> 09:09.000
And of course, what we're going
through is the couple of
initiatives, the audition, which

09:09.000 --> 09:11.000
will be hearing more about very
soon.

09:11.000 --> 09:17.000
The podcast, the Pod Show
podcast, delivery network, which
we're also going to tell you
about

09:17.000 --> 09:18.000
very soon.

09:18.000 --> 09:21.000
I mean, really in detail, we'll
unleash some announcements about
that.

09:21.000 --> 09:22.000
Yes, damn announcements coming.

09:22.000 --> 09:26.000
And really how everything all
kind of fits together.

09:26.000 --> 09:31.000
And how podcasters who are
interested can grow their
audience.

09:31.000 --> 09:38.000
And eventually with some luck
and a lot of hard work, elbow
grease, quit your day job.

09:38.000 --> 09:42.000
But that wasn't the main reason
for my unrest, just because of
the excitement and, you know,

09:42.000 --> 09:45.000
my brain still spinning by the
time it hit the pillow.

09:45.000 --> 09:47.000
I just kept on going and going.

09:47.000 --> 09:50.000
But I'm not quite sure.

09:50.000 --> 09:54.000
I tried to explain to Patricia
this morning.

09:54.000 --> 09:56.000
Actually, the minute I woke up,
I said, oh, Matt is sleep very
well.

09:56.000 --> 09:57.000
And here's why.

09:57.000 --> 09:59.000
And she understood it very well.

09:59.000 --> 10:04.000
It has to do with negativity and
positivity.

10:04.000 --> 10:12.000
It's a rollercoaster ride that I
witnessed every single day
online.

10:12.000 --> 10:14.000
There's something about the
human nature.

10:14.000 --> 10:18.000
And I'm not quite sure what it
is, but it is without a doubt
human nature.

10:18.000 --> 10:22.000
First of all, everybody lives in
their own reality.

10:22.000 --> 10:23.000
I have my reality.

10:23.000 --> 10:26.000
This moment, my reality is
completely different from yours.

10:26.000 --> 10:27.000
You're in a different place.

10:27.000 --> 10:28.000
You're in a different head
space.

10:28.000 --> 10:29.000
You're thinking of different
things.

10:29.000 --> 10:32.000
And by the way, you are the
center of the universe of your
universe.

10:32.000 --> 10:35.000
And I'm the center of my
universe.

10:35.000 --> 10:39.000
And when these universes start
to collide, that's when
interesting things happen.

10:39.000 --> 10:46.000
And one of the most interesting
things that happens with this
incredible growth of
communications that we've seen

10:46.000 --> 10:50.000
is that people who rise to the
top get kicked down.

10:50.000 --> 10:54.000
Or there's people ready to kick
them down or drag them down.

10:54.000 --> 10:57.000
There's other people who are
willing to push them back up
based upon that dragging down.

10:57.000 --> 10:59.000
That's why I say this roller
coaster.

10:59.000 --> 11:02.000
It's almost like a yo-yo effect.

11:02.000 --> 11:09.000
You can see great examples of
this, for example, on
podcastali.com in the forums
where people are talking about
pod show.

11:09.000 --> 11:11.000
You can see this happening with
Google now.

11:11.000 --> 11:12.000
Remember Google?

11:12.000 --> 11:15.000
Remember when it was the coolest
shit and we loved it and it was
fantastic.

11:15.000 --> 11:18.000
And these guys were finally
doing the right thing.

11:18.000 --> 11:23.000
Well, now it seems if you listen
to the noise and the signal to
noise ratio or something you've
got to look out for.

11:23.000 --> 11:28.000
It seems that Google's evil, all
of a sudden, particularly the
people who said they would do no
evil.

11:28.000 --> 11:36.000
And when that's kind of
baseless, most of this is
baseless, but it's based upon
someone else's reality of the
situation.

11:36.000 --> 11:44.000
And that's how you read an
article, how stories told to
you, how you read an article is
different from how it's written.

11:44.000 --> 11:47.000
There are all these things that
kind of fit together.

11:47.000 --> 11:57.000
And one thing that Patricia and
I really learned when we moved
to the Netherlands and just
before the millennium, 1999, the
end of the year,

11:57.000 --> 12:01.000
is that this is really
propelled.

12:01.000 --> 12:06.000
And it is a direct result, I
think, of so many people being
able to have their voice heard,
which is great.

12:06.000 --> 12:08.000
I mean, I love that.

12:08.000 --> 12:13.000
But it comes somewhere, this is
what Patricia's take on it.

12:13.000 --> 12:17.000
And I should get her in here to
talk about that. Maybe we'll do
that tomorrow, we'll have a
broader discussion.

12:17.000 --> 12:21.000
I'm just kind of brain farting
at the moment.

12:21.000 --> 12:26.000
It's not necessarily people who
spew negativity or flame.

12:26.000 --> 12:32.000
There's lots of people like
comic strip blogger on
thecurry.com comments, the same
deal.

12:32.000 --> 12:42.000
I think that if someone is
unhappy about their own
universe, regardless of what
that problem is,

12:42.000 --> 12:51.000
and you see someone else who
apparently is happy, then
there's this automatic humor.

12:51.000 --> 12:54.000
I do it too, by the way,
everyone does this.

12:54.000 --> 12:59.000
You want to say, ah, you know,
screw them and you just lash out
at somebody.

12:59.000 --> 13:07.000
And having been a known figure
for a long time, I've learned to
deal with this.

13:07.000 --> 13:11.000
But it has gotten really, really
intense, which means a couple
things to me.

13:11.000 --> 13:15.000
The first one is we're doing
something really good because
people are taking notice.

13:15.000 --> 13:27.000
And they're questioning and
they're coming up with a lot of
conspiracy theories, literally,
which is pretty funny to read
through.

13:27.000 --> 13:37.000
But just so you know, when you
say something in your podcast or
write something on your weblog
or something's written in an
article or, you know, if you
send an email, it does hurt.

13:37.000 --> 13:42.000
I mean, it really does, which
is, which, of course, is my
problem. I let things affect me.

13:42.000 --> 13:45.000
And of course, if someone writes
something really nice, then it
feels really good.

13:45.000 --> 13:50.000
But the frequency of that is
just, it's, the frequency is
going up.

13:50.000 --> 13:55.000
So the roller coaster is really,
it's vibrating almost.

13:55.000 --> 14:02.000
And this is why you, I think,
why you see celebrities,
particularly new celebrities,
people who burst onto the scene.

14:02.000 --> 14:15.000
They get the same thing and they
get it predominantly from
newspapers and magazines and
entertainment tonight and all
these entertainment based shows
and stuff on the internet and
pictures.

14:15.000 --> 14:18.000
That's why you see them freak
out.

14:18.000 --> 14:19.000
You see them.

14:19.000 --> 14:23.000
I've rock rock roll stars used
to trash hotel rooms.

14:23.000 --> 14:31.000
And I believe it is for this
very reason for this, this,
this, this weird clashing of
universes and positivity and
negativity vibrating amongst

14:31.000 --> 14:35.000
them all the time. It's, it's a
very weird sensation.

14:35.000 --> 14:42.000
And as I said, I've been in the
public eye since I was 19, I
still have not gotten used to
it.

14:42.000 --> 14:49.000
But it also has gotten
progressively, the frequency has
increased progressively over the
years with the amount of
communications that we have.

14:49.000 --> 14:55.000
And by the way, you know, let's
not, let's not forget that only
10 years ago, no one knew what a
fucking cell phone was almost.

14:55.000 --> 14:58.000
You know, this was a luxury item
that maybe you had in your car.

14:58.000 --> 15:02.000
You got a card and a cell phone,
you got a car phone, text
messaging.

15:02.000 --> 15:05.000
All of these things combined.

15:05.000 --> 15:08.000
And yeah, I don't know.

15:08.000 --> 15:13.000
If you have any thoughts about
that, I mean, it's, it's got to
be something much larger.

15:13.000 --> 15:16.000
It is a part of human nature.
I'm not quite sure what it is.

15:16.000 --> 15:20.000
And I don't take it, you know,
well, I do take it personally,
but I understand.

15:20.000 --> 15:23.000
I do understand where people are
coming from.

15:24.000 --> 15:28.000
But I think that in general,
everyone is a nice person.

15:28.000 --> 15:33.000
I think probably another part
that.

15:33.000 --> 15:40.000
That had to do with my
unrestfulness was my brain
processing this fantastic book
that I read called God's debris.

15:40.000 --> 15:43.000
It's written by Douglas Adams,
who is the Gilbert guy.

15:43.000 --> 15:46.000
It's actually available for free
on the internet.

15:46.000 --> 15:50.000
You can buy a hardbound copy,
but he put it out basically in a
kind of open source.

15:50.000 --> 15:55.000
Maybe, I don't know if he has
creative commas on it, but it's,
it's a fantastic book.

15:55.000 --> 16:00.000
It's short. It's a great read.
Tom Schuiting, who maintains the
fabulous Korean vaninkle
archive.

16:00.000 --> 16:04.000
A big archive, a big part of my
professional life sent me that.

16:04.000 --> 16:08.000
And I was just totally blown
away by the concept in that
book.

16:08.000 --> 16:11.000
And maybe that has something to
do with.

16:11.000 --> 16:15.000
And I don't, I don't really want
to get into explaining what the
book is about.

16:15.000 --> 16:19.000
But maybe that is something to
do with this reverberation of
positive and negative energy.

16:19.000 --> 16:22.000
And perhaps we need the positive
and negative energy.

16:22.000 --> 16:24.000
Maybe that's the, the great
equalizer.

16:24.000 --> 16:26.000
Maybe it's something that's
necessary.

16:26.000 --> 16:30.000
I don't know. And of course,
there was also the foxes who
were out in drove last night,

16:30.000 --> 16:32.000
rummaging through the trash.

16:32.000 --> 16:34.000
God, that makes so much noise.

16:34.000 --> 16:39.000
You're supposed to put your bags
out in the morning, which we do.

16:39.000 --> 16:41.000
But someone put their trash out
last night.

16:41.000 --> 16:46.000
And then the foxes who, of
course, are coming closer to
civilization every single day.

16:46.000 --> 16:49.000
So I'm going to go through the
trash and make an all kinds of
noise.

16:49.000 --> 16:51.000
But anyway, so I'm awake though.

16:51.000 --> 16:52.000
I'm feeling pretty good.

16:52.000 --> 16:58.000
I want to thank everybody, by
the way, who's participating and
contributing to the show notes.

16:58.000 --> 17:00.000
You can always find the show
notes.

17:00.000 --> 17:05.000
I link to the show notes from
from the podcast at
dailysourcecode.com.

17:05.000 --> 17:11.000
It's great because people are
now actually embellishing and
coming up with their own words
as to what's being discussed in
the show.

17:11.000 --> 17:14.000
For instance, yesterday, 21
minutes, 55 seconds.

17:14.000 --> 17:18.000
Adam comments that the concept
of touchscreen navigation is an
odd concept for a pilot.

17:18.000 --> 17:21.000
Since as a pilot, you never
touch your instruments.

17:21.000 --> 17:23.000
That would be your navigation
instruments.

17:23.000 --> 17:25.000
Since you'll get oily residue on
them.

17:25.000 --> 17:26.000
And then you can't read them at
night.

17:26.000 --> 17:28.000
And you'd die in a fiery crash.

17:28.000 --> 17:30.000
So I obviously didn't add the
fiery crash part.

17:30.000 --> 17:32.000
But that showed up in the show
notes.

17:32.000 --> 17:33.000
That was a nice touch.

17:33.000 --> 17:34.000
Here's another one.

17:34.000 --> 17:37.000
So he's going to start the show
in the parking lot outside of
combat.

17:37.000 --> 17:40.000
And no, the cable he bought
wasn't one of those packages.

17:40.000 --> 17:43.000
You can't open without a plasma
torch.

17:43.000 --> 17:46.000
I think I said scissors, but I
like the embellishment.

17:46.000 --> 17:47.000
It really works.

17:47.000 --> 17:51.000
And thanks again to everybody
who was contributing to the show
notes.

17:51.000 --> 17:52.000
I think it's a fantastic.

17:52.000 --> 17:54.000
You know, Michael show note.

17:54.000 --> 17:55.000
I'll call him that.

17:55.000 --> 17:56.000
Mike show note.

17:56.000 --> 18:03.000
I believe he's trying to start
kind of a business or a service
for podcasts.

18:03.000 --> 18:05.000
I support that holy fully.

18:05.000 --> 18:10.000
And I think it's fantastic using
a wiki for show notes.

18:10.000 --> 18:11.000
I'm really, really digging it.

18:11.000 --> 18:14.000
A little dismayed actually.

18:14.000 --> 18:18.000
I saw once in a while I checked
in on the wiki wiki pedia.

18:18.000 --> 18:21.000
And I look in podcasting.

18:21.000 --> 18:23.000
Dave and I have almost been
written out.

18:23.000 --> 18:28.000
It's all these other people who
have successfully created
podcasting.

18:28.000 --> 18:30.000
And I congratulate you for doing
that.

18:30.000 --> 18:31.000
Thank you very much.

18:32.000 --> 18:34.000
I had a great slow morning
though.

18:34.000 --> 18:38.000
Oh, check out the Potio music
rewind episode number 10 is out.

18:38.000 --> 18:40.000
Kick and ass as always.

18:40.000 --> 18:41.000
What a fantastic show.

18:41.000 --> 18:43.000
Give that a listen if you have a
chance.

18:43.000 --> 18:44.000
Hey Adam.

18:44.000 --> 18:45.000
It's Swippy from Skepticality.

18:45.000 --> 18:46.000
Hey Swopster.

18:46.000 --> 18:49.000
I've been catching up on back
shows sitting at a borders in
downtown Atlanta.

18:49.000 --> 18:51.000
Sucking up the coffee and the
Wi-Fi while there.

18:51.000 --> 18:53.000
Because it rehabbed during the
day.

18:53.000 --> 18:56.000
And low and behold, I hear you
talking about my buddy Slaw.

18:56.000 --> 18:58.000
And this new Christmas song.

18:58.000 --> 19:00.000
It just so happens that our
friend,

19:00.000 --> 19:05.000
and musician George Rabb, just
finished recording his fifth CD
at Slaw's B Sharp Studios

19:05.000 --> 19:07.000
in Historia, New York.

19:07.000 --> 19:10.000
And to celebrate the release of
the CD entitled,

19:10.000 --> 19:14.000
in Terabang, George held a
concert at which Slaw appeared
and also performed.

19:14.000 --> 19:16.000
Derek and I were supposed to be
there.

19:16.000 --> 19:18.000
But since we couldn't make it,
George sent us some pictures.

19:18.000 --> 19:20.000
One of it includes Slaw.

19:20.000 --> 19:22.000
I thought you might enjoy seeing
it.

19:22.000 --> 19:24.000
George also plays drums on the
Christmas song

19:24.000 --> 19:26.000
and contributed some backing
vocals as well.

19:26.000 --> 19:28.000
George says he still gets
traffic on his site

19:28.000 --> 19:31.000
and sails of his CDs from the
podcast he did with us.

19:31.000 --> 19:33.000
And that was way back in the
summer.

19:33.000 --> 19:35.000
So pot safe music is definitely
good for artists.

19:35.000 --> 19:37.000
And it's good for podcasting
too.

19:37.000 --> 19:40.000
Skepticality ended up in
someone's liner notes.

19:40.000 --> 19:41.000
How cool is that?

19:41.000 --> 19:42.000
Yeah.

19:42.000 --> 19:43.000
See you Adam.

19:43.000 --> 19:44.000
All right, Swopie.

19:44.000 --> 19:45.000
Thank you.

19:45.000 --> 19:46.000
Say hi to Derek for me, please.

19:46.000 --> 19:48.000
Please hope everything's going
well.

19:48.000 --> 19:50.000
And good to hear your voice
again.

19:50.000 --> 19:52.000
Here on the Daily Source Code.

19:52.000 --> 19:54.000
So today I will finally get it
done.

19:54.000 --> 19:56.000
Let's go to Xmas.podshow.com.

19:56.000 --> 19:59.000
Kicks off today so that by
tomorrow the first of December

19:59.000 --> 20:02.000
you'll have a new Christmas song
every day

20:02.000 --> 20:04.000
right on your computer.

20:04.000 --> 20:05.000
Hey Adam, this is Joe.

20:05.000 --> 20:06.000
This is sofa coaches.

20:06.000 --> 20:08.000
I wanted to send you a promo
this week.

20:08.000 --> 20:10.000
But when I sat down with the
other sofa coaches

20:10.000 --> 20:12.000
and tried to put together some
ideas,

20:12.000 --> 20:13.000
things got a little out of
control.

20:13.000 --> 20:15.000
Take a listen and see what
happened.

20:15.000 --> 20:17.000
Do you think we should tell them
it's only an hour long?

20:17.000 --> 20:18.000
Absolutely.

20:18.000 --> 20:20.000
Well, we go a little over an
hour.

20:20.000 --> 20:21.000
Yeah.

20:21.000 --> 20:23.000
I mean, you can't say what how
long we're going to do every
time.

20:23.000 --> 20:25.000
Most of the time we shoot for 60
minutes.

20:25.000 --> 20:26.000
Absolutely.

20:26.000 --> 20:28.000
Yeah, but we always squeeze at
least 10,

20:28.000 --> 20:30.000
15 minutes of going material
into that hour.

20:30.000 --> 20:32.000
The most important thing they
should know what a sofa coach

20:32.000 --> 20:33.000
actually is.

20:33.000 --> 20:35.000
I don't get it because we don't
sit on a sofa

20:35.000 --> 20:36.000
and none of us are coaches.

20:36.000 --> 20:37.000
So what's the story here?

20:37.000 --> 20:38.000
Well, we are.

20:38.000 --> 20:39.000
We're slots that know
everything.

20:39.000 --> 20:42.000
We're so precodious because we
didn't know anything after the
fact.

20:42.000 --> 20:44.000
Uh, we do know everything.

20:44.000 --> 20:45.000
That's a good point.

20:45.000 --> 20:46.000
Yeah.

20:46.000 --> 20:48.000
You know, another good point to
bring up about the show

20:48.000 --> 20:49.000
is that it's audio only.

20:49.000 --> 20:50.000
And there's no video feed.

20:50.000 --> 20:52.000
So nobody has to worry about
what the original is.

20:52.000 --> 20:53.000
Yeah.

20:53.000 --> 20:54.000
Yeah.

20:54.000 --> 20:55.000
Yeah.

20:55.000 --> 20:56.000
We don't have a shot.

20:56.000 --> 20:57.000
Then that's for sure.

20:57.000 --> 20:58.000
We all got faces for radio.

20:58.000 --> 20:59.000
Speak for yourself.

20:59.000 --> 21:01.000
By the way, is there any music
on this show?

21:01.000 --> 21:04.000
Every once in a while, we play
some pot-safe music.

21:04.000 --> 21:05.000
Yeah.

21:05.000 --> 21:06.000
But where do we do?

21:06.000 --> 21:07.000
Who cares about the music?

21:07.000 --> 21:08.000
We're sports shows.

21:08.000 --> 21:09.000
We're sports shows.

21:09.000 --> 21:10.000
We're sports shows.

21:10.000 --> 21:11.000
We're sports shows.

21:11.000 --> 21:12.000
We're sports shows.

21:12.000 --> 21:13.000
We're sports shows.

21:13.000 --> 21:15.000
We're sports shows.

21:15.000 --> 21:16.000
All there you have it at them.

21:16.000 --> 21:18.000
That's about how things go when
we talk about sports, too.

21:18.000 --> 21:19.000
So be sure to tune in.

21:19.000 --> 21:21.000
You can find this in the iTunes
music store.

21:21.000 --> 21:23.000
Just search for sofa coaches.

21:23.000 --> 21:25.000
Or you can go to our website.

21:25.000 --> 21:26.000
Listen.

21:26.000 --> 21:28.000
True is not false.com.

21:28.000 --> 21:30.000
Adam, please give us a little
move.

21:30.000 --> 21:32.000
Pot show.

21:32.000 --> 21:36.000
No one does chicken like Pot
show.

21:39.000 --> 21:40.000
Hey Adam.

21:40.000 --> 21:42.000
It's a long time listener of
yours.

21:42.000 --> 21:44.000
I go back almost to the very
beginning.

21:44.000 --> 21:49.000
I know how you occasionally
become irritated with lawyers
from time to time.

21:49.000 --> 21:50.000
Don't deny it.

21:50.000 --> 21:53.000
I know it's true and I don't
blame you.

21:53.000 --> 21:54.000
It's a lawyer myself.

21:54.000 --> 21:57.000
I too become frustrated with
lawyers from time to time.

21:57.000 --> 22:01.000
In fact, it's how I spend almost
every single day.

22:01.000 --> 22:06.000
You can probably guess the way
I've chosen to work out my
frustrations with a legal
profession.

22:06.000 --> 22:07.000
That's right.

22:07.000 --> 22:08.000
With a podcast.

22:08.000 --> 22:13.000
The legal underground podcast,
which I started in January 2005.

22:13.000 --> 22:17.000
With a short test episode that
you ended up playing in full on
your show.

22:17.000 --> 22:18.000
Thanks for that.

22:19.000 --> 22:21.000
Now here we are almost a year
later.

22:21.000 --> 22:27.000
And I thought it was a good time
to check back in and say I'm
still out here in the pot of
sphere going strong.

22:27.000 --> 22:33.000
Our friends shows every week or
two that are either short form
called law-related things that
suck.

22:33.000 --> 22:38.000
Or a slightly longer form in
which I discuss legal news and a
little politics.

22:38.000 --> 22:43.000
And in a reverent way that's
probably going to have the
lawyer police knocking on my
door very soon.

22:43.000 --> 22:46.000
Your thing must lawyers wouldn't
know a podcast from.

22:46.000 --> 22:47.000
I don't know.

22:47.000 --> 22:49.000
They're own cold hearts.

22:49.000 --> 22:52.000
So to conclude, it's the legal
underground podcast.

22:52.000 --> 22:55.000
You'll find the feed at my
weblog.

22:55.000 --> 23:01.000
Evan Shafers, legal underground
at www.legalunderground.com.

23:01.000 --> 23:07.000
Meanwhile, Adam, keep up the
great work at the pod safe music
network and all your other
various projects.

23:07.000 --> 23:12.000
You know, with all you've got
going on, you're a walking
full-time employment act for
lawyers.

23:12.000 --> 23:15.000
Would it be wrong of me to thank
you from the entire profession?

23:15.000 --> 23:17.000
Well, thank you, Adam.

23:17.000 --> 23:21.000
And if you listen to my show,
thanks for tuning in.

23:21.000 --> 23:24.000
Adam Curry Rocks.

23:24.000 --> 23:28.000
Well, actually, in Brazil, Adam
Curry Sambas.

23:28.000 --> 23:29.000
Easy.

23:29.000 --> 23:34.000
All castors are connected to the
daily source code source code.

23:34.000 --> 23:36.000
I so want to go to Brazil.

23:36.000 --> 23:37.000
It's not funny.

23:38.000 --> 23:42.000
I've been to a lot of countries,
a lot of continents, a lot of
places.

23:42.000 --> 23:44.000
I've been very, very fortunate
that way.

23:44.000 --> 23:45.000
Never to South America, though.

23:45.000 --> 23:47.000
I definitely want to come to
Brazil.

23:47.000 --> 23:50.000
So that is in the medium-term
planning.

23:50.000 --> 23:54.000
And I know that there's a huge
podcast community cropping up
there.

23:54.000 --> 23:56.000
I'd love to learn more about it.

23:56.000 --> 23:58.000
So how do you, Brazil?

23:58.000 --> 23:59.000
How are you doing?

23:59.000 --> 24:00.000
Comersta.

24:00.000 --> 24:03.000
Yeah.

24:03.000 --> 24:06.000
I used to know some Portuguese,
which is what they speak in
Brazil.

24:06.000 --> 24:09.000
No more.

24:09.000 --> 24:12.000
Hey, for those of you who are
new to the daily source code,

24:12.000 --> 24:15.000
you may have heard of the
sound-vertising experiment.

24:15.000 --> 24:20.000
This is where I anchor your
thoughts to a certain sound

24:20.000 --> 24:23.000
or visual and anchor a thought
to it.

24:23.000 --> 24:26.000
So what actually started off
kind of as an accident,

24:26.000 --> 24:29.000
every single time I burped.

24:29.000 --> 24:33.000
Senseiho would come into your
mind.

24:33.000 --> 24:37.000
Then we moved on to another
trick, which I'll do it right
now,

24:37.000 --> 24:38.000
just in case your brand knew.

24:38.000 --> 24:41.000
If you already know what I'm
about to do, then close your
eyes and

24:41.000 --> 24:43.000
I don't think it'll work either.

24:43.000 --> 24:46.000
Whatever you're doing right now,
look at a point where you are.

24:46.000 --> 24:49.000
It's maybe a house, maybe a
tree, maybe a sign.

24:49.000 --> 24:51.000
It could be the current front of
you.

24:51.000 --> 24:52.000
It could be a person.

24:52.000 --> 24:55.000
Now look at that object,
Senseiho.

24:55.000 --> 24:58.000
So the concept is, whenever you
see that object,

24:58.000 --> 25:00.000
in fact whenever you even think
of that object,

25:00.000 --> 25:03.000
you'll think of Senseiho.

25:03.000 --> 25:04.000
It works.

25:04.000 --> 25:08.000
I think everyone who was
participated in this willingly
or unwillingly

25:08.000 --> 25:12.000
knows that this sound-vertising,
this anchoring, this Vulcan mind
trick,

25:12.000 --> 25:13.000
actually does work.

25:13.000 --> 25:17.000
But it has no real benefit,
particularly not to me in the
Senseiho case

25:17.000 --> 25:20.000
because Senseiho is not paying
me for that.

25:20.000 --> 25:22.000
Now of course I don't mind doing
the experiment,

25:22.000 --> 25:27.000
but today I received an email
that completely twisted my mind

25:28.000 --> 25:32.000
backwards about this and I
really love this.

25:32.000 --> 25:34.000
I can't believe I didn't come up
with this.

25:34.000 --> 25:36.000
So this is from Mark Zeta who
says,

25:36.000 --> 25:39.000
Hey Adam, Senseiho ads are
airing here in Australia as
well.

25:39.000 --> 25:42.000
So Senseiho now is kicking up
their advertising.

25:42.000 --> 25:43.000
They're kicking it up.

25:43.000 --> 25:45.000
It's in the UK, it's in the US.

25:45.000 --> 25:47.000
It's of course the Netherlands
where it comes from.

25:47.000 --> 25:49.000
It's in Australia.

25:49.000 --> 25:52.000
And Mark says, when I saw it,
the first thing I thought of

25:52.000 --> 25:54.000
was the Daily Source Code.

25:54.000 --> 25:57.000
I was expecting either character
in the ad to do your trademarks

25:57.000 --> 25:58.000
and say, oh, burp.

25:58.000 --> 26:00.000
I think the sound-vertising
could go a long way.

26:00.000 --> 26:01.000
Thanks for your show.

26:01.000 --> 26:02.000
I'm loving every episode of it.

26:02.000 --> 26:03.000
Mark, okay.

26:03.000 --> 26:04.000
So all of a sudden like,

26:04.000 --> 26:07.000
No, this is fantastic.

26:07.000 --> 26:08.000
This is it.

26:08.000 --> 26:11.000
I am now utilizing the ad budget
of Senseiho

26:11.000 --> 26:13.000
to promote the Daily Source
Code.

26:13.000 --> 26:15.000
How freaking cool is that?

26:15.000 --> 26:19.000
And the cool thing is everybody
can do it.

26:19.000 --> 26:23.000
So pick a product or pick a
service or something

26:23.000 --> 26:27.000
that's being advertised very,
very heavily on television and
radio.

26:27.000 --> 26:29.000
Anchor your listeners to it.

26:29.000 --> 26:31.000
And then every single time they
hear or see that

26:31.000 --> 26:33.000
advertisement, they won't be
able to help themselves

26:33.000 --> 26:37.000
but think about your podcast.

26:37.000 --> 26:39.000
How cool is that?

26:39.000 --> 26:41.000
Tell me if it works.

26:41.000 --> 26:43.000
Happy freaking holidays
Senseiho.

26:43.000 --> 26:45.000
This is Natalie Brown,

26:45.000 --> 26:49.000
wishing the Daily Source Code
listeners a safe and happy
holiday season.

26:49.000 --> 26:51.000
This is Chris from the Financial
Aid podcast.

26:51.000 --> 26:55.000
Wishing you a safe, happy, and
financially responsible holiday
season.

26:55.000 --> 26:57.000
This is us online at
financialadpodcast.com

26:57.000 --> 26:59.000
for money saving tips this
season.

26:59.000 --> 27:01.000
Happy holidays, everyone.

27:01.000 --> 27:03.000
So by tomorrow, make sure that

27:03.000 --> 27:05.000
a special greeting from the Go
and Deep podcast

27:05.000 --> 27:08.000
I'm the kid along with Mr.
Clean.

27:08.000 --> 27:12.000
And we'd like to wish you and
yours a very happy holiday.

27:12.000 --> 27:14.000
Oh, no, no, man. You can't say
happy holidays.

27:14.000 --> 27:16.000
Why not? Why can't I say
holidays?

27:16.000 --> 27:18.000
Because it's happy, camel to
days.

27:18.000 --> 27:19.000
Yes, that's right.

27:19.000 --> 27:20.000
We can't say Christmas.

27:20.000 --> 27:21.000
We can't say holidays.

27:21.000 --> 27:22.000
We can't say how to go.

27:22.000 --> 27:23.000
We can't say quansica.

27:23.000 --> 27:24.000
We've changed it to happy camel
to a day.

27:24.000 --> 27:26.000
And we hope everybody has a
happy camel to a day.

27:26.000 --> 27:27.000
To you and yours.

27:27.000 --> 27:29.000
From Go and Deep with Get in
Clean.

27:29.000 --> 27:34.000
Visit the website at
www.godeepwith.us.

27:34.000 --> 27:36.000
And have a happy new year.

27:36.000 --> 27:38.000
Yeah, man.

27:38.000 --> 27:40.000
New snow angels rock.

27:40.000 --> 27:45.000
So by tomorrow, make sure you
subscribe to the feed at
xmus.podshow.com.

27:45.000 --> 27:50.000
So that every single day will be
a happy camel to a day for you.

27:50.000 --> 27:54.000
For the pod save music network,
this is Carmen Tyler.

27:54.000 --> 27:55.000
Pick this one up from accident
hash.

27:55.000 --> 27:58.000
I'll be there on camel to a day.

27:58.750 --> 32:20.000
[ Music ]

32:20.000 --> 32:24.000
Oh Christmas day.

32:24.000 --> 32:25.000
Is it possible?

32:25.000 --> 32:27.000
I'm falling in love again.

32:27.000 --> 32:28.000
Carmen Tyler.

32:28.000 --> 32:30.000
What a beautiful voice.

32:30.000 --> 32:31.000
I'll be there in Christmas day.

32:31.000 --> 32:35.000
And my apologies for the pilot
error midstream there.

32:35.000 --> 32:37.000
But we landed safely.

32:37.000 --> 32:40.000
We walked away from the
airplanes and that constitutes a
good landing.

32:40.000 --> 32:42.000
Apologize.

32:42.000 --> 32:43.000
Hey, speaking.

32:43.000 --> 32:45.000
Of course, it's from the podcast
music network.

32:45.000 --> 32:47.000
Potset music.

32:47.000 --> 32:49.000
Yep, not best.

32:49.000 --> 32:52.000
The podcast music network.

32:52.000 --> 32:56.000
The podcast music network dot
com.

32:56.000 --> 32:59.000
Mike O'Leary sent a wonderful
email.

32:59.000 --> 33:02.000
Adam, I was checking out clips
of the songs on the candy
butcher's album.

33:02.000 --> 33:03.000
Hang on.

33:03.000 --> 33:08.000
Mike in iTunes in the music
store after hearing what to do
with Michael on your podcast.

33:08.000 --> 33:09.000
Love the song.

33:09.000 --> 33:14.000
Anyway, in the top right corner
is a list that says listeners
also bought.

33:14.000 --> 33:16.000
That's the recommendation
engine.

33:16.000 --> 33:21.000
Look at what's listed and see
the power that DSE has to
persuade and influence not only
one,

33:21.000 --> 33:23.000
but a multitude of musical
talents.

33:23.000 --> 33:29.000
Brother love and the list of
these bitties are listed right
there with the candy butchers in
one swoop.

33:29.000 --> 33:35.000
So the question I have now is
when does the Adam Craig
recommends playlists go up on
the iTunes page?

33:35.000 --> 33:37.000
That's interesting idea.

33:37.000 --> 33:39.000
Actually it's a damn good idea.

33:39.000 --> 33:41.000
Hey, let's call the iTunes guys
about that.

33:41.000 --> 33:43.000
But that is proof.

33:43.000 --> 33:45.000
That is absolutely proof.

33:45.000 --> 33:50.000
So listening to a podcast music
on the podcast actually creates
sales.

33:50.000 --> 33:52.000
Gee, what a concept.

33:52.000 --> 33:53.000
I love it.

33:53.000 --> 33:55.000
Time to wrap up the,

33:55.000 --> 34:00.000
Emma the Logitech MM50 naming
contest that we'd be doing for
the last week or so.

34:00.000 --> 34:01.000
Let me see.

34:01.000 --> 34:04.000
First one is an audio contest.

34:04.000 --> 34:07.000
So Adam Jason San Diego.

34:07.000 --> 34:13.000
You said you wanted audio
comments on the same MM50
instead of the emails.

34:13.000 --> 34:17.000
So I'm going to stop writing you
the 10 or 15 a day that I've
been sending you.

34:17.000 --> 34:19.000
Hope you need read them on the
air.

34:19.000 --> 34:24.000
So I'm going to just give you
some ideas I've been thinking
about bouncing up the wall.

34:24.000 --> 34:25.000
See what sticks.

34:25.000 --> 34:27.000
You know, playing that little
game.

34:27.000 --> 34:30.000
MM50.

34:30.000 --> 34:32.000
Let's see.

34:32.000 --> 34:34.000
Music maker.

34:34.000 --> 34:36.000
Music box.

34:36.000 --> 34:37.000
Music.

34:37.000 --> 34:39.000
Music with two ends.

34:39.000 --> 34:41.000
How about the,

34:41.000 --> 34:43.000
My personal favorite.

34:43.000 --> 34:47.000
The eye match with two ends.

34:47.000 --> 34:52.000
So it's image not to be confused
with eye match.

34:52.000 --> 34:57.000
Or we could just call it the
501.

34:57.000 --> 34:58.000
Any of you.

34:58.000 --> 34:59.000
Give me a call.

34:59.000 --> 35:01.000
We'll do lunch.

35:01.000 --> 35:02.000
Yeah.

35:02.000 --> 35:03.000
Call my people.

35:03.000 --> 35:04.000
Okay.

35:04.000 --> 35:05.000
Well, yeah.

35:05.000 --> 35:06.000
Thank you for the feedback.

35:06.000 --> 35:10.000
No, I think the winner and it
was really close because I
really like the port of

35:10.000 --> 35:11.000
Potty, the port iPod.

35:11.000 --> 35:14.000
I thought that was good, but it
may not be.

35:14.000 --> 35:15.000
I don't know.

35:15.000 --> 35:19.000
It's a great name, but maybe not
quite as commercial because
there already is a port of

35:19.000 --> 35:21.000
Potty, and that could create all
kinds of problems.

35:21.000 --> 35:25.000
But I think Greg Milligan sent
in a really good one.

35:25.000 --> 35:30.000
Greg is from Coventry, which I,
yeah, presumed to be the UK.

35:30.000 --> 35:31.000
Yeah, Coventry.

35:31.000 --> 35:36.000
And he says, perhaps the MM50
should be referred to as the
sound slab.

35:36.000 --> 35:37.000
I like that.

35:37.000 --> 35:38.000
The sound slab.

35:38.000 --> 35:42.000
That sounds, that's nothing to
do with MM50, but I do like it
is.

35:42.000 --> 35:43.000
It's a slab of sound.

35:43.000 --> 35:45.000
So Greg, congratulations.

35:45.000 --> 35:47.000
Send me your address.

35:47.000 --> 35:49.000
I will send you an MM50.

35:49.000 --> 35:52.000
It might even be my personal
one.

35:52.000 --> 35:54.000
I hope we have another one left.

35:54.000 --> 35:57.000
Everyone like walked off with
these, the minute they were in
the office.

35:57.000 --> 35:58.000
Okay.

35:58.000 --> 36:03.000
What you heard briefly during
Carmen Tyler's wonderful
Christmas song was some
feedback,

36:03.000 --> 36:04.000
which is very long.

36:04.000 --> 36:06.000
I'm not going to play all of it
from Eric.

36:06.000 --> 36:08.000
And he has something interesting
to say.

36:08.000 --> 36:10.000
It's about feed, hijacking.

36:11.000 --> 36:18.000
So if you're a podcast or if you
have an RSS feed at all, pay
attention to what he's saying
here.

36:18.000 --> 36:22.000
And I'll interject here and
there and I don't think I'll get
to the whole thing.

36:22.000 --> 36:24.000
But listen to what he says about
feed, hijacking.

36:24.000 --> 36:25.000
Hi Adam.

36:25.000 --> 36:27.000
Thank you for having me on the
show.

36:27.000 --> 36:37.000
I really appreciate getting the
chance to talk to some of your
listeners about what I regard as
a tremendous threat to the whole
podcasting infrastructure.

36:37.000 --> 36:45.000
My name is Eric Marcus and for a
bit more than a year now, I've
been doing my podcast Eric
Steiner.

36:45.000 --> 36:49.000
At the time that I started,
there were fewer than 50
podcasts available.

36:49.000 --> 36:55.000
And my show was not only the
first one to tackle the subjects
of veganism and animal rights.

36:55.000 --> 37:00.000
It was also the first podcast to
talk about food, recipes and
cooking.

37:00.000 --> 37:05.000
Now, over the past year, Eric
Steiner has grown steadily more
popular.

37:05.000 --> 37:09.000
When I started out, each show
drew only about 100 listeners.

37:09.000 --> 37:14.000
But by last month, my audience
had grown to about 1,500 people
per show.

37:14.000 --> 37:18.000
Now, this is not a Howard Stern
sized audience clearly.

37:18.000 --> 37:20.000
It's not even a dawn and drew
type audience.

37:20.000 --> 37:23.000
But Eric Steiner does appeal to
a niche audience.

37:23.000 --> 37:27.000
And I think that if I can do a
show that reaches more than
1,000 people,

37:27.000 --> 37:33.000
interested in vegan eating and
farm animal protection, that's a
fantastic use of my time.

37:33.000 --> 37:35.000
Oh, by the way, I just want to
interject.

37:35.000 --> 37:40.000
I think if you have more than
1,000 that you can probably
start to make money on that if
you're interested.

37:40.000 --> 37:45.000
People have emailed me to tell
me they've become vegan as a
direct result of listening to my
show.

37:45.000 --> 37:49.000
I even had one guy right and
tell me he bought an iPod
specifically,

37:49.000 --> 37:53.000
so he could listen to my show
during his drive to work.

37:53.000 --> 37:58.000
This past month with my audience
creeping up toward 2,000
listeners per show,

37:58.000 --> 38:01.000
I thought I was ideally
positioned for further growth.

38:01.000 --> 38:05.000
I figured that if I kept working
hard to produce a quality show,

38:05.000 --> 38:08.000
5,000 listeners was just around
the corner.

38:08.000 --> 38:13.000
Instead, everything I spent this
past year working on has
suddenly collapsed.

38:13.000 --> 38:18.000
My RSS feed has been hijacked by
someone I've never met or even
heard of,

38:18.000 --> 38:23.000
and every single one of my
subscribers through iTunes has
been cut off.

38:23.000 --> 38:29.000
In consequence, my audience has
dropped overnight by 75%.

38:29.000 --> 38:32.000
Now, a lot of people know what
domain hijacking is,

38:32.000 --> 38:38.000
but even as a podcaster, I'd
never heard of RSS hijacking
until it happened to me.

38:38.000 --> 38:45.000
As I'm about to explain, RSS
hijacking involves a different
and much simpler technique than
domain hijacking.

38:45.000 --> 38:49.000
See, not only is RSS hijacking
easy to do,

38:49.000 --> 38:57.000
it also doesn't involve the
overacts of law breaking that
usually need to occur in order
to hijack a domain.

38:58.000 --> 39:05.000
I personally regard RSS
hijacking as the greatest threat
that the podcaster community has
encountered to date.

39:05.000 --> 39:10.000
So let me explain how I
discovered that my podcast feed
was hijacked,

39:10.000 --> 39:14.000
and why I think RSS hijacking is
so insidious.

39:14.000 --> 39:23.000
A couple of months ago, I read
on slash dot that Yahoo had
released a new podcast search
engine at podcast.yahoo.com.

39:23.000 --> 39:28.000
I went to that site and was
pleased to see that Eric Steiner
already had a listing.

39:28.000 --> 39:36.000
But on this listing, I noticed
that the RSS feed listed for my
show was not hosted by my
website vegan.com,

39:36.000 --> 39:43.000
but instead was hosted by some
website I'd never even heard of
called podkeyword.com.

39:43.000 --> 39:46.000
Now, what happened was obvious.

39:46.000 --> 39:53.000
And random guy up there owning
the podkeyword.com domain had
created an RSS feed on his site

39:53.000 --> 39:56.000
and pointed it to my RSS feed.

39:56.000 --> 40:01.000
And somehow Yahoo had picked up
his RSS feed instead of my own

40:01.000 --> 40:06.000
and inserted it into its
directory listing for my show.

40:06.000 --> 40:10.000
Now, I'm not the most
technically savvy person you'll
ever meet,

40:10.000 --> 40:13.000
but I could immediately
recognize the danger here.

40:13.000 --> 40:20.000
Over time, more and more Yahoo
users would subscribe to my show
using an RSS feed that belonged
not to me,

40:20.000 --> 40:22.000
but to a third party.

40:22.000 --> 40:27.000
Now, I'm from New York and
perhaps overly suspicious about
people's motives,

40:27.000 --> 40:32.000
but I could see it at glance
that this feed hijacking had
extortion written all over it.

40:32.000 --> 40:38.000
In getting his URL for my
podcast, carried by Yahoo's
directory,

40:38.000 --> 40:46.000
the owner of podkeyword.com was
establishing himself as the
gatekeeper who could control all
traffic to my show

40:46.000 --> 40:49.000
from listeners who were
subscribed through Yahoo.

40:49.000 --> 40:52.000
Now, this is really interesting.

40:52.000 --> 40:53.000
This is rampant.

40:53.000 --> 40:55.000
This is happening all over the
place.

40:55.000 --> 41:06.000
If you register with audio, if
you register with any multitude
of directories,

41:06.000 --> 41:10.000
perhaps it is even true with
podcast, Ali.

41:10.000 --> 41:11.000
I'm not sure.

41:11.000 --> 41:13.000
We'll have to look at that.

41:13.000 --> 41:17.000
You know, this claim your feed
shit that I see everywhere,
where you claim your feed,

41:17.000 --> 41:21.000
so then you get a new feed, like
an audio feed.

41:21.000 --> 41:23.000
These are where this is where it
goes wrong,

41:23.000 --> 41:30.000
is that these things get exactly
what happened to Eric here is
that that feed got sucked in by
Yahoo

41:30.000 --> 41:32.000
and Yahoo for all intents and
purposes today.

41:32.000 --> 41:33.000
That's my feed.

41:33.000 --> 41:35.000
You know, that's the right feed,
no problem.

41:35.000 --> 41:38.000
I don't think there's any
malicious intent here, but it is
a problem.

41:38.000 --> 41:41.000
This, by the way, is the same
thing that feed burner does.

41:41.000 --> 41:43.000
You know, yes, feed burner is
great.

41:43.000 --> 41:45.000
Feed burner has a lot of
benefits.

41:45.000 --> 41:51.000
It's very easy to use, but if
feed burner crops out, if feed
burner decides whatever they
decide,

41:51.000 --> 41:56.000
they effectively, you know, have
control over your RSS feed.

41:56.000 --> 41:58.000
iTunes does the exact same
thing.

41:58.000 --> 42:03.000
Ladies and gentlemen, they also,
in effect, hijack your feed and
then they create their own
special feed,

42:03.000 --> 42:07.000
so you have to keep coming back
to them and you don't get it
directly from the source.

42:07.000 --> 42:09.000
And we all know what the issues
are there.

42:09.000 --> 42:16.000
If iTunes messes up, well,
caching your RSS feed, then your
podcast doesn't download for,

42:16.000 --> 42:18.000
sometimes for four hours.

42:18.000 --> 42:21.000
So this is not the way to do it,
and I think that we've known
this,

42:21.000 --> 42:23.000
the people in the RSS space have
known this.

42:23.000 --> 42:25.000
It's a bad way to do things.

42:25.000 --> 42:31.000
The best way to do this is to
register a domain name.

42:31.000 --> 42:34.000
A domain name that you can then
point anywhere you want.

42:34.000 --> 42:36.000
So you should be able to put in
a redirect.

42:36.000 --> 42:42.000
So it would be atomspodcast.com
slash RSS.xml,

42:42.000 --> 42:45.000
and you should be able to
redirect that anywhere you want,

42:45.000 --> 42:50.000
so that if you wake up one
morning and decide that you're
not happy with,

42:50.000 --> 42:54.000
with your infrastructure, all
you have to do is just change a
couple of parameters,

42:54.000 --> 42:56.000
and everyone will stay
subscribed.

42:56.000 --> 42:59.000
You've really got to look into
getting a domain name.

42:59.000 --> 43:00.000
You don't take that lightly.

43:00.000 --> 43:03.000
It's very, very, very important.

43:03.000 --> 43:05.000
Erick's comment goes on for
another four or five minutes,

43:05.000 --> 43:08.000
but I think it's very clear
what's happening here.

43:08.000 --> 43:16.000
And I suggest that you look at
getting a domain name,

43:16.000 --> 43:20.000
and redirecting to the
infrastructure that you're
using.

43:20.000 --> 43:24.000
And of course, when the pod show
podcast delivery network comes
out,

43:24.000 --> 43:26.000
we'll have those options built
right in for.

43:26.000 --> 43:28.000
Hi Adam, this is James from
JamesB.com.

43:28.000 --> 43:31.000
Here in Utah, in the US, we have
a slightly different vernacular

43:31.000 --> 43:33.000
to express ourselves when we're
mad,

43:33.000 --> 43:35.000
allowing me to demonstrate.

43:35.000 --> 43:38.000
I'm mad as heck, and I want to
quit my fetching day job.

43:38.000 --> 43:40.000
I'm bored out of my freaking
skull with it.

43:40.000 --> 43:41.000
Dang!

43:41.000 --> 43:44.000
What the flip do I have to do,
gosh darn it?

43:44.000 --> 43:47.000
Oh boy, if my mother could hear
me now.

43:47.000 --> 43:50.000
If you thought of Napoleon
Dynamite when you heard that,

43:50.000 --> 43:54.000
let me state for the record that
my mother was from the west side
of Prestonite home.

43:54.000 --> 43:56.000
So Adam, don't forget about us,
poor Utah fellows,

43:56.000 --> 43:58.000
that never learned how to
properly work blue.

43:58.000 --> 44:01.000
This is James from JamesB.com,
Navalcast,

44:01.000 --> 44:04.000
and my new podcast, face the
music, saying,

44:04.000 --> 44:07.000
God, I can't wait to quit my day
job.

44:07.000 --> 44:09.000
Hey there, my name's Krantz.

44:09.000 --> 44:11.000
You can find me at a couple of
different places,

44:11.000 --> 44:14.000
namely, frikogonvenus.com.

44:14.000 --> 44:19.000
The Sunday fun message that was
downloaded

44:19.000 --> 44:23.000
into my ears on Sunday,

44:24.000 --> 44:26.000
had me rolling.

44:26.000 --> 44:29.000
But it is also very, very true.

44:29.000 --> 44:32.000
The reason I spend most of my
time listening to podcasts

44:32.000 --> 44:35.000
and ignoring the radio,

44:35.000 --> 44:37.000
and even television really,

44:37.000 --> 44:40.000
is because it's a bunch of shit.

44:40.000 --> 44:42.000
I'm tired of hearing the same
song every two hours,

44:42.000 --> 44:44.000
I'm tired of, and I am mad.

44:44.000 --> 44:46.000
I am mad.

44:46.000 --> 44:48.000
I'm a human being Goddamn,

44:48.000 --> 44:50.000
and in my life has value,

44:50.000 --> 44:51.000
and I'm mad as hell!

44:51.000 --> 44:53.000
And I want to quit my day job!

44:53.000 --> 44:55.000
I'm mad as hell,

44:55.000 --> 44:57.000
and I want to quit my day job
when I quit.

44:57.000 --> 45:00.000
We all know the atomic bomb is
very dangerous.

45:00.000 --> 45:04.000
Now, we must be ready for a new
danger.

45:04.000 --> 45:09.000
Hey, I'm Jack Elias from the Get
Jack podcast.

45:09.000 --> 45:11.000
Get Jack.Honomus.com,

45:11.000 --> 45:14.000
and I'll spell it out for
medically in a minute.

45:14.000 --> 45:18.000
Um, God, you know, you're
teasing us now.

45:18.000 --> 45:21.000
And we want to quit our jobs.

45:21.000 --> 45:23.000
Some of us actually,

45:23.000 --> 45:26.000
my wife says that I need to keep
working at my job

45:26.000 --> 45:29.000
until such time that this pays
more.

45:29.000 --> 45:30.000
Which is fine.

45:30.000 --> 45:32.000
I totally agree with that,

45:32.000 --> 45:34.000
but hey, you know,

45:34.000 --> 45:35.000
I care it.

45:35.000 --> 45:37.000
A tidbit, a taste.

45:37.000 --> 45:38.000
I hint.

45:38.000 --> 45:39.000
Something.

45:39.000 --> 45:40.000
Please?

45:40.000 --> 45:43.000
Get Jack.Honomus.com

45:43.000 --> 45:45.000
That's hotel alpha,

45:46.000 --> 45:47.000
alpha,

45:47.000 --> 45:48.000
alpha,

45:48.000 --> 45:49.000
Sierra,

45:49.000 --> 45:50.000
dot com.

45:50.000 --> 45:52.000
Kind of like Christmas and on,

45:52.000 --> 45:54.000
I got all rolled into one.

45:54.000 --> 45:56.000
Konnichiwa, Adam Curryson.

45:56.000 --> 45:58.000
I'm Terrence Young from the Kobe
beef show

45:58.000 --> 46:02.000
at www.cobey-beef.blogspot.com.

46:02.000 --> 46:04.000
Since the music industry won't
let us have

46:04.000 --> 46:06.000
our hit test and backtracks
podcasts,

46:06.000 --> 46:08.000
how about a quiz using material

46:08.000 --> 46:11.000
they can't control the Japanese
language?

46:11.000 --> 46:13.000
I know you know you're Dutch,

46:13.000 --> 46:15.000
but how's your Japanese, Adam?

46:15.000 --> 46:16.000
A while back,

46:16.000 --> 46:17.000
I sent you a promo,

46:17.000 --> 46:19.000
which featured the word
Botakuni,

46:19.000 --> 46:21.000
which means Ribbon.

46:21.000 --> 46:22.000
I hope you remember.

46:22.000 --> 46:23.000
Yeah.

46:23.000 --> 46:24.000
They agree at least.

46:24.000 --> 46:26.000
Now it's time to learn some new
words.

46:26.000 --> 46:27.000
The game is simple.

46:27.000 --> 46:28.000
My trustee,

46:28.000 --> 46:30.000
imaginary cow sidekick,

46:30.000 --> 46:31.000
Teibontaro,

46:31.000 --> 46:33.000
will give you a practical
Japanese word.

46:33.000 --> 46:35.000
Three answers to choose from,

46:35.000 --> 46:37.000
and you guess the answer.

46:37.000 --> 46:39.000
Take it away, Teibong.

46:41.000 --> 46:42.000
It's...

46:43.000 --> 46:45.000
Let's guess Japanese.

46:45.000 --> 46:46.000
Hi.

46:46.000 --> 46:47.000
Today word,

46:47.000 --> 46:48.000
Kurija.

46:48.000 --> 46:50.000
Kurija is...

46:50.000 --> 46:51.000
A.

46:51.000 --> 46:54.000
Rare Japanese glam found in the
Japan Sea.

46:56.000 --> 46:57.000
B.

46:57.000 --> 47:00.000
City on Southern Island of
Kyushu.

47:01.000 --> 47:02.000
C.

47:02.000 --> 47:04.000
Nickname for Love button.

47:04.000 --> 47:08.000
Found in another region of every
woman.

47:09.000 --> 47:12.000
I'm going to go for sea.

47:12.000 --> 47:14.000
I'm not bad.

47:14.000 --> 47:16.000
I know that hard one.

47:16.000 --> 47:18.000
But I hope you guess right.

47:18.000 --> 47:20.000
I hope you guess sea.

47:20.000 --> 47:21.000
I'm going to go for love button.

47:21.000 --> 47:22.000
Yes.

47:22.000 --> 47:24.000
Kurija is Japanese slang.

47:24.000 --> 47:25.000
Floor Clitoris.

47:25.000 --> 47:27.000
Kuriya is shockening of work.

47:27.000 --> 47:28.000
Kitoris.

47:28.000 --> 47:29.000
Browns.

47:29.000 --> 47:30.000
Kuri, Dori, Su.

47:30.000 --> 47:31.000
In Japanese.

47:31.000 --> 47:33.000
And John is invomer ending.

47:33.000 --> 47:35.000
Usually added to people name.

47:36.000 --> 47:37.000
So next time,

47:37.000 --> 47:39.000
you are love snorkeling with
Patricia.

47:39.000 --> 47:41.000
You got affectionately caught
her.

47:41.000 --> 47:42.000
Love button.

47:42.000 --> 47:43.000
Kurija.

47:43.000 --> 47:44.000
Kurija.

47:44.000 --> 47:45.000
You try now add-on.

47:45.000 --> 47:46.000
Kurija.

47:46.000 --> 47:47.000
Kurija.

47:47.000 --> 47:48.000
Kurija.

47:48.000 --> 47:49.000
Yeah.

47:49.000 --> 47:50.000
Very good.

47:50.000 --> 47:51.000
Hope you enjoyed that add-on.

47:51.000 --> 47:54.000
I know it's nowhere near as
polished as the hit test.

47:54.000 --> 47:56.000
But I hope at least you got a
chuckle.

47:56.000 --> 47:57.000
And a new word to use with
Patricia.

47:57.000 --> 47:58.000
Kurija.

47:58.000 --> 47:59.000
A regular new hongo time
lessons.

47:59.000 --> 48:01.000
And my rants about life in
Japan.

48:01.000 --> 48:03.000
Please check out the Kobe beef
show.

48:03.000 --> 48:08.000
At www.kobei-beef.blogspot.com.

48:08.000 --> 48:10.000
Also, Dear Pod Showgun.

48:10.000 --> 48:12.000
Tibon and I are definitely
excited about the audition

48:12.000 --> 48:14.000
and getting hooked up with the
Pod Show.

48:14.000 --> 48:16.000
