HELLO, my name is Podcast - Episode 7: 2000 Days & Counting!
Out of all the 101 Life Lessons Learned from Wearing a Nametag 24-7 for 2000 Days, I thought I'd pick a few memorable ones and tell their back stories. And I know it's been quite a while since my last podcast, so I promise that this episode is really, really good.Oh, and my flash player hates me today. So if you want to hear this episode, just listen online over at www.hellomynameispodcast.com.
Enjoy!
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
How do you feel about podcasts? Rate on a scale from 1-10 (1 being "what the heck is a podcast?" and 10 being "podcasts are going to replace mainstream media.")

Like HELLO, my name is Blog!
Just like to say, you've done a heck of a job as a Podcast Speaker!
This is actually my first time hearing a Podcast.
The background loop tune reminds me of old times when I played Monkey Island PC Game!
As for the rating, I give it a 10!
Cheers!
As podcasts go in general, I only listen to yours.... So, I guess I give Podcasts a 10+ becaues yours rocks!
I've listened to a few podcasts and I'm fascinated by how flexible the medium is. I've heard podcasts which are basically just like a radio interview. Others are like audio blogs. Still others are like listening to an old-fashioned radio play. I think the one use that I found particularly intriguing was the one done by Ron Moore, the exec producer of Sci-Fi channel's "Battlestar Galactica". He does a podcast for each episode and treats it like the commentary tracks you get on better DVDs. They even have audio cues to let you know when to pause the playback for commercials. Very cool.
I'd have to give podcasts in general an 8 or 9, if only for that versatility. Will it actually replace radio completely? I somehow doubt that, at least not in the next decade.
I would say a 6. When do you take the time to listen to them? If hooking the IPOD into your car stereo system becomes commonplace, podcasts popularity (and my rating) could shoot up. Yes, I know that you can do it but, for the most part, you need some kind of adapter system floating around your car. Most people won't do that. Remember the discman attachment that plugged into your cassette desk? Not cool. I also don't use my IPOD in public....using an IPOD represents the ultimate of un-approachability. It also tells the world that you can't live without carrying your noise with you.
Dear Scott, thanks for another super article, i just love this site, thanks for the hard work.
