Business Week just published an interesting and useful cluster of articles on podcasting. I was particularly intrigued by the slide show of their top podcasts. I listen to a few of these regularly, and one of them has proved so consistently useful (an understatement) that several weeks ago I answered a call for volunteer post-production audio engineers: Doug Kaye’s amazing ITConversations. It’s been great collaborating with Doug and Team ITC. I’ve been privileged to work on some fascinating audio, including my most treasured assignment: editing, mixing, and mastering a presentation by Doug Engelbart from last fall’s Accelerating Change conference. When I cast my vote on the Business Week site for my favorite podcast out of their top picks, I of course voted for ITConversations. When I saw the results, I was surprised and pleased to see that Doug’s podcast came in first, followed by Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code. No doubt the geek vote drove the results, but still: a nice surprise.

Just listened to the Engelbart presentation on the drive home – Wow was that good. Good post production work!
Thanks. I’m proud of that piece, mostly because it’s such a thrill to help propagate Engelbart’s vision, undimmed over half a century later. And of course his main inspiration was “As We May Think,” by Vannevar Bush. Funny how so much of this stuff comes together….
