podcasting bangin’ techno
will someone please wake me up when there’s some good detroit/bangin’ techno on a podcast feed?
Otherwise, a podcast is an inherent content protection mechanism that reduces your interweb visibility as a contributor, unless you’re famous (in which case the inverse is true), and is currently un-indexable by any search engine… unless you have some kind of voice-transcription software going while you’re recording your program… and make that available on your site.
Is it great new technology for talk-radio kinds of content? Maybe. If the content is high-quality. For niche-market music? Yes, definitely. I think once the novelty of receiving early adopter talk-radio style content from a feed wears off, music is where podcasting will see it’s greatest application. Ok, maybe movies, someday… and tv shows. Although, the Konfabulator “new widgets feed” does send the actual widgets to me with rss attachments. That’s pretty freaking cool.
One session of Adam Curry and Dave Winer spending a couple of hours saying “Wow, this is a podcast! We have technical glitches just like a radio program! Let’s talk about podcasting some more!” … well.. that was enough for me. And, I’m sure every talk-radio-podcast will spend a couple of sessions doing that. “dude! we’re on the air! But it’s not on the air! But we’re podcasting! Dude, is it recording?”
like I said.. wake me up when the little-known musicians start finding this delivery mechanism.
