The idea for How Do You Jew originated as a podcast; it’s “limited” to a blog right now because of time constraints, but I have a moment to talk about how I turned in this direction and point to a piece I just found about why I’m so excited to be involved in this new medium.
I’ve been listening to Adam Curry‘s Daily Source Code podcast for…what, nearly a year now? More? It’s hard to keep track, since 1) it’s produced each weekday, so I’ve heard well over 100 shows already, and 2) the technology and the podosphere develop so fast. Suffice it to say that Adam’s work inspired me before I even knew what I was going to podcast about. Then he provided the inspiration for my content as well. I’ll talk about the specific item that did it in my first show.
Today, like every day, I got the Site of the Day email from refdesk.com. The site for today is Talking History (worth a visit). One of the people behind that is Prof. Gerald Zahavi, and it was through his site that I discovered Radio College, where I in turn found the article, How Podcasting Will Save Radio, which might give you an idea of why I’m so excited.
