On my ferry ride to the mainland this morning I caught up on some reading, but I also wrote up an initial reaction to Dave Winer’s Comments of Adam Curry’s Interview with Wired Magazine. The two directions podcasting seems to be going was made even more relevant given that at the end of his Friday the 13th Morning Coffee Notes, Dave wishes Adam all the best on his Sirius Podshow.
Dave has some mega-valid points in his comments on the Wired article. Anyone stumbling on the Wired piece, approaching podcasting for the first time will get a completely different version of the truth and some of the rest of us have.
Adam is doing himself and indeed, podcasting at large, no good service by mis-representing the truth of the issue. People will find out.
And to call one of the better known podcasters–Father Roderic of the Catholic Insider–"That Catholic Priest". . .come on! Call him by his name and mention his podcast damn-it–Catholic Insider, Father Roderick–quit making it seem like your doing everyone a thumping great favor that they couldn’t have done themselves because your the "podfather". You’re not so great, we’re not so small. It is an error of judgement of the worst sort from someone who is suspposed to be promoting the podcasts of everyone–not just his "hand-picked" favorites. Ah. . . . no wonder my requests for promo airtime have not been heard. I’m not a hand-picked favorite.
Dave Winer’s Morning Coffee Notes for Friday 13th, then become very apt RE podcasting and my previous statements. Keep the creativity. Quality does not matter–content must be allowed to thrive. Let’s not judge too harshly the creativity of others, their choices and format. Let’s just enjoy all there is to enjoy in podcasting, and the non-DJ, anti-radio movement which is growing. I don’t want to be a Radio Star, I don’t want to be a podcasting star–I just want to podcast, to share my thoughts and ideas and be recognised within a community where every that may be.
I hope you can view these thoughts as relevant to a site about food, and culinary issues. I hate to take up so much space on it, but I feel these are important times and the outcome of this directional split in podcasting will have an outcome on niche shows like the Gastrocast and the future ability for other shows to share the same platform.
Here’s hoping you have a great day.

Keep your car tuned up and oil changed. “Tuned up” and “efficient” are the same thing! Lost oil viscosity means more drag on the engine, and more energy lost.
