Back to Podcasting

One area I’m most proud of innovating in is Podcasting. I got involved because Ruby bought me an iPod in early 2004 and I wondered, “What can I make for the iPod instead of just consuming with it.” A few months later I started the 3URLs show on AudioActivism.org. On October 3, 2004 I released the podcast episode 3URLs 10/03/04. Thanks to Ibiblio for hosting the mp3s and website for all these years.

Recently I’ve started a new show called Flathead Monster. It’s just interviews with interesting people about what they do. I still have a RSS feed for FHM but I also share it on Youtube. As one does in 2019.

My first episode on fhmon.com is with Brendan Love and we talk about tattoos.

NCSBC Pre-conference skills session

Yesterday Anton, Bora, and I helped introduce blogging to about 12 people. It was a pre-conference event for the North Carolina Science Blogging Conference.

Check out Anton’s EXCELLENT NCSBC Pre-conference skills session page. These exercises were quite effective in helping people get hands on experience with blogs. You could see the fear of blogs melt away.

Anton’s Blogs, wikis & podcasts primer is good too.
