We loved chatting with DHH and I think he covered a lot of great material.<br /><br />As to fiacre's comment, I think audio podcasts have taken off for two reasons - they are easy to produce and easy to consume. Video is much harder to consume because it requires visual attention, so it is much easier to gulp down 10-15 hours of podcasting while working out, driving, etc.<br /><br />Video production can be time consuming too, so I think that is why you see audio-only taking off so well.<br /><br />Maximum_access, any suggestions for interviews? It seems you like the more technical/nitty-gritty types of interviews.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09358331618841062004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22205561.post-20650452083286268422006-11-25T23:59:00.000-05:002006-11-25T23:59:00.000-05:00I certainly think that having a certain audio heri...I certainly think that having a certain audio heritage is part of it, at least among our generation of listeners. I spent many hours in my youth listening to old radio dramas like "the shadow" and "dr. who". CBC Radio One was also a staple of my childhood. Some of my fondest memories are of listening to "As it happens", "Quarks and Quarks" and "Ideas". More recently I develop a bit of an audio book addiction, largely because of the many hours I started to devote to running. I must admit, part of my motivation for moving to podcasts was that I was bankrupting myself buying audio books from audible.com.<br /><br />We're not the only ones who have a radio history. Arguably the biggest name in podcasting is Leo Laport, founder of the TWIT podcasting network, and if I'm not mistaken his broadcasting background is in radio as well.<br /><br />On a similar note I just started listening to Weekly Floss one of the twit network podcasts and I must say its fantastic. I often shy away from twit podcasts because they never seem quite technical enough. Weekly Floss on the other hand has all the detail I could ever want and then some. I highly recommend it for those looking to geek out a little. I'm curious what you listen too? Unfortunately my consumption often outstrips production, so I'm always looking for a new podcast to listen to.maximum_accesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984284722840711826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22205561.post-24871285917492797032006-11-25T16:10:00.000-05:002006-11-25T16:10:00.000-05:00And I thought I was addicted to podcasts!

I grew up spending time listening to radio over watching the television, so perhaps that has something to do with it. Whats your opinion?Fiacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007606144244029373noreply@blogger.com
