“Studs Terkel: Patron saint of podcasting”

October 13th, 2004 · Michael Fioritto’s Weblog

“I have been reading (and listening) to “Talking to Myself” by Studs Terkel and I think the podcasting community should adopt him as their patron saint and role model.

Terkel famously carried around a tape recorder and captured the voices of people from around the world, producing a rich treasure trove of oral history.

Listen to how he weaves his subject’s voices into his memory of their conversations.

As Terkel said, “I am a neo-cartesian. I tape therefore I am.” Time will tell if podcasting will leave us with a rich repository of oral histories. I sure hope so.” (http://www.fioritto.us/studs-terkel-patron-saint-of-podcasting/1113/)

“Podcasting is the automatic distribution of mp3s via RSS/XML files.”–

OK, now we know, eh? So from podcastalley.com to thepodcastnetwork.com, the casting world keeps opening up–

Studs Terkel hits the road again…

“The nomadic, transient nature of contemporary life has made diffusion the order – or disorder – of the city….I guess I was seeking some balance in the wildlife of the city as Rachel Carson sought it in nature.”

started to widget, but woh now—who wouldn’t want a widget? nice little widgets of overload, hooked in, on & up to the clicking of the feed engine—you know, the feed engine, that slice of gear oil on your brain as you stroll through Lowes watching videos on your arm— yep, got me some widgets and went to sleep with my eyelids clicking–

“Scrybe is temporarily not accepting more direct beta invitation requests” calendar down! Go home and yet don’t go home— spontaneity never worked so well— I have a 2-year old calendar with last years dates and print images from 19th century Japan looming between the heavens and the sea—what does igoogle want now? I’m not sleeping— I’m fishing for barley–

Online radio stations around the world have been an interest to me for some years. Then there’s the online music styles and gadgets to guess your test at the roll of the dice– it’s all great exposure if you want it– go for it. Pandora brings forth 16 Horsepower and then Alabama Chicken. Good stuff. And time slides away… goodnight nurse–
