What a wacky podcast: Alex Williams put a microphone in the middle of Eric Rice and me as we riff about the future of media. Among other things. All at a party at Gnomedex.
Eric gets my creativity going. I tell lots of people I’m gonna copy everything he does. And I’m only half kidding.
More Gnomedex audio is on the Chris Pirillo Show site.

“Audio Tours” been around for oh, 20 years or so, Independence Hall for one, Alcatraz for two. Fishing Guides? Really bottom-feeding there, eh? Hook any catfish? :)

And who makes the audio tours? Some Big Official Smart Media Company or, like everyday people?
Congratulations, Chris! You have just provided the correct, predictable textbook all-techies-do-this-trolly-kinda snark to question #17!
“[inser name of something here] isn’t new, it’s been around since [insert obviously longer period of time longer than current market readiness]. What about [insert examples that are obvious here] ?
I’ll bet we’ll see at least four comments here dissing podcasting cuz podcasting isn’t latex gloss paint.

A better take…
“[Insert name of something here] is new, it’s the new new thing, the new paradigm shift, the long-tail, the Singularity progressive-enhancement grassroots Cluetrain power-ride [insert the usual statement of how everyone else just doesn't get it]. Why of all my Sillycon Valley friends are doing this (and holding parties), jump aboard the new [insert paragraphs and paragraphs of Web 2.0 buzzwords]. [Insert more statements of how everyone else just doesn't get it].
When I first started this there were only [insert some random number] and now, yes now, there are [insert some random eyeballs'ish number]. It’s a global revolution I tell you. Out with old, in with the new new new. What about [insert examples that are obvious here]? Why this and that [insert techonology trend that took off] was once like this new trend, so get in on the ground floor baby, ground floor. [Insert yet more statements of how everyone else just doesn't get it].
I don’t care about [insert low marketshare number], I care about the quality of the people listening [insert name-drops serious]. But now that it’s getting some backing [insert good marketshare number] this only proves that I was right all along. Nah nah nah. [Insert yet more and more statements of how everyone else just doesn't get it].

Why Some Big Official Smart Media Company…vetted by Historians and Experts, Scripted for Time, Content and Interest-levels. You’d rather the endless rambling, cracking muffled-audio podcast of some geek who never hardly leaves his LCD?
