You can pay me later
A while ago I was trained for my plant as a first responder. As a first responder you are encouraged to have all possible vaccinations as a normal American is offered. One vaccination that is a little off the charts but they recommend you get is the hepatitis B shot. So you have to take 3 of these in one month intervals for it to fully take effect. While in the doctors office for the second of the series of shots one of my coworkers that works on the other side of the plant came in for his shot. This guy is an older version of me basically, we get along great and he and I share tech news and stuff. He has a 20 gig Ipod and was telling me about podcasting, which I already knew a little about. For those of you who do not know, podcasting gives any computer user with a microphone the ability to basically have their own talk show. The coworker mentioned that he and his son were going to start a Buffalo Bills football podcast, not only for the bonding but for his sons possible future in broadcasting. That would be one hell of a resume booster: “Yeah, I used to have my own football broadcastâ€. It may not be a national show but if you could line up an hour of Buffalo Bills football programming that shows some media talent in my mind. Anyways, after leaving the conversation I started to think of some podcasters that I think should get into the act. The list is as follows:
Doug : With radio tuned to some leftist channel in the room he screams and rants at the other broadcaster as if he can hear him.
Wha and Poot : Give them a couple o jack and gingers and let them loose on a topic of the day type of show, it can be called “It’s 5 oclock somewhereâ€
Nobrainer : Similar to Doug but with a bit more blasphemy and an Ohio twist.
Hayes : She would definitely have a yard/garage sale update as well as review of her recent finds followed by some sci fi reviews of TV and movies.
Funk : Who are you kidding he would be pitching his CD all day.
Malph : As seen on the blog, he would be the outspoken evangelist of southern opinion.
I do think that Tiger Sporting News would have a great seasonal podcast though as I know a bunch of those guys are tech savvy and could hook it up. Football seasons would definitely be a bonus!
Me personally, I always thought Doug and I would have a good show. Sick humor base with political and news reviews.

Am I allowed to drink? I know its a fine line between my comedic genius due to alcohol enhancement and the ability to understand the words that are coming out of my mouth. Maybe we could put me on a drip and control it. No one would have to see if its adio only.

Nobrainer would call in to Wha and Poot and they would call in to him. They would be the local affilaites of the JDGA Broadcast. That would rock.
I wouldn’t mind having a little radio show. I could pitch new local and medium range bands and critique their cds. That would be Sweet.

We could start one that was a group broad, errm, podcast using Skype…
All of us calling in and riffing about stuff. Might be cool.
Oh, and the new iTunes has better support for podcasts, FYI.

Is podcasting FCC regualted? If so then to hell with that. But if not, I will gladly give the people their daily dose of the Fbomb…

You don’t need an iPod to “podcast”. Like “Kleenex” or “Xerox”, the whole concept of an MP3 player has become synonymous with “iPod” by the vast majority of US consumers.
“Podcasting” basically means recording yourself to MP3 format and distributing your content via the Internet[s]. No iPod required - Winamp’ll get you there too.
And no, the FCC has no jurisdiction over podcasts, since you’re not going out over publically-owned airwaves.

Boy, I’m grammatically on fire this morning. And I’ve had my coffee, too!
Shoulda read:
‘Like “Kleenex” or “Xerox” have become household names representing something greater than their respective brands, the whole concept of an MP3 player has become synonymous with the “iPod” brand for the vast majority of US consumers.’

“Like ‘Kleenex’ or ‘Xerox’ have become household names representing something greater than their respective brands, the whole concept of an MP3 player has become synonymous with the ‘iPod’ brand for the vast majority of U.S. consumers.”
