: I wanted to hear the debut of Adam Curry’s new PodShow on Sirius but my damned satellite service (I am both a customer and stockholder) has apparently broken its internet streaming tonight (great timing) and Curry’s ownsite is also broken (great timing II).

So I’m making a damned fool of myself sitting in the car in the driveway with my laptop (ain’t wi-fi amazing; can we say that enough?) listening to Adam’s choices of podcasts and blogging about it. The good news: Some are musical, with neat mashups; that’s the best part by far. The bad news: I just heard a really boring Canadian podcaster (no, that is not redundant and shame on you for thinking so) and Madge Weinstein, who is about as entertaining as and sounds like Mark Harris (of Martha Ray and Howard Stern fame). It’s not a fair sample, since I have to run in and out of the house and turn the car on and off, but it is a mixed bag.

: Oh, and I wish they had links to all the podcasts played to both give credit and to let me listen to more if I want. Metadata, man, metadata.

: Curry ends by playing his own Daily Source Code podcast… apparently all 40 minutes of it.

    hey, madge is funny; and what podcasting and blogs are all about: unique, interesting, non-traditional. and very funny.

    “different strokes” is just what the “citizens media” as you call it, is all about, n’est pas? credit to you for even giving it a listen.

    “apparently broken its internet streaming tonight (great timing) ”

    No, it was not broken, Adam Curry’s PodShow on Sirius is simply not streamed over Internet but only aired over the satellite – channel 148. I was trying to get it over Internet then and it was not streamed.
