“About two conversation-starters, non-disclosures, what I can and can’t tell you. Advertising in RSS and turning the conversation around in drive-time Bay Area.”
Dave reflects on the excitement and energy around new technologies like the web in the 1990s, and how that same sense of possibility exists with podcasting today. Winer also criticizes the model of public radio, arguing that it is not truly “public” as listeners have little ability to influence the content. He expresses satisfaction that podcasting has enabled more direct, unfiltered communication from individuals, using the example of a commuter podcasting his drive-time thoughts. However, he’s is unable to share details on two new “conversation starters” he had planned to discuss, due to non-disclosure agreements with other parties involved.
