As an old DJ from way back (thirteen years on the air, last broadcast in Feb. 1989, and yes I still miss it), I’m fascinated by the podcasting phenomenon. It’s sometimes called “Tivo for radio,” but that only captures the selective-recording and multiple-channels aspects. I’m more interested in the fact that everyone can now be his or her own radio station. Time to dust off the tonsils and see if I still have the “radio voice” I had fifteen years ago. I’m confident I still have the face for radio.
Here’s a piece on podcasting from the Boston Globe, and here’s the Washington Post iPod news roundup (registration required) that led me to the BG piece.
