Monthly Archives October 2005
Visiting WBEZ
I recently came upon Meryl’s LiveJournal while looking around for Jonathan Goldstein/WireTap-related stuff. From what I can gather, Meryl has a huge crush on her English prof. This crush somehow led to an interview on WireTap.
Anyhow, I’ve been reading her posts lately. She’s a big This American Life fan, and recently visited Chicago. Unbeknownst to […]
700 imaginary hobo names
Via roommate Phil’s favourite website, BoingBoing, comes a link to John Hodgman’s poem 700 imaginary hobo names. You might know John as a contributor to This American Life and Wiretap.
Archived Wiretap shows
This will come as a delight to fans of Jonathan Goldstein’s Wiretap: A guy named Jared Benedict has been posting MP3 archives of the show to his blog. I can’t imagine they’re authorized, so grab them while they’re up.
Personally, I record the show off the air with Audio Hijack Pro and my RadioShark.
I am a video podcast superstar
Apparently I am starring in a new weekly video podcast called Jim Dupree: Enthusiast.
I play Jim Dupree, a man who is enthusiastic about many things. In the first episode, released this week, Jim is enthusiastic about dogs. Glenn, the interviewer, questions Jim about his enthusiasm.
It’s a video podcast, so you might want to use the […]
Promo Girl
From Fine Young Journalist comes a thoughtful analysis of CBC’s Promo Girl elements.
Finally, iPod supports high-quality voice recording
I’ve been waiting for this for years. A scant week after my iPod nano arrived in the mail, comes news that the new iPod (announced yesterday) does proper stereo recording.
Anyone want to buy an immaculate black 4 gig nano?
Update: iLounge has more details in their article Why podcasters (and bootleggers?) will love the new iPod.
How hot is the Sony PCM-D1?
Via Music Thing comes the announcement of Sony’s new professional flash recorder — the PCM-D1:
It records 24/96 wav files on 4gb internal, or memory sticks. It has analog VU meters. It runs off four AA batteries. It’s made by Sony. Out of titanium.
I wonder what it’d take to get a review unit out of them […]
CKDU Funding Drive 2005
I spent the Thanksgiving weekend in Nova Scotia.
Today I made a pledge to the CKDU Funding Drive, which starts October 21st. CKDU is home to many of my favourite radio shows, like Popped Culture, Let’s Get Baked, Smart Patrol, and The Rose Parade.
Why should you pledge? Aside from supporting community radio, there are great prizes. […]
