Podcast: Play in new window

This podcast is a rant. The day I recorded this podcast I had sat in on a roundtable discussion with a group of journalism (newspaper) professionals. After listening to them discuss the struggles of the newspaper industry and advertising, I decided to ask their opinions on social media.

As soon as they began talking I wished that I had a tape recorder running. It was very surprising to discover that social media is not a part of new media – according to the participants who can’t figure out how to get their readership back.

I really messed up the episode number this week. As you will hear, I did the podcast shortly before 2am and I was a little nutty. The episode should be interesting. Few things are better than an rant recorded at 2am.

So, we got our Windows 7 House Party kit. Here’s what it looks like. We added some commentary and subtitles, so make sure that you close any YouTube ads that may come up by clicking on the little X on the lower right side..

I love the Talking Heads. David Byrne has vowed that the band will never get back together. While I love Stop Making Sense, I love David Byrne’s film True Stories a little better. It is one of my favorite movies to put on when I am working late and need some noise in the background.

Stop Making Sense is coming to Blu-ray next week in HD and with an hour of extra content.

The DVD is available in standard definition for $22. I think you can find True Stories in the bargain DVDs for about $6.

Stop Making Sense turns 25 – Boing Boing.
