Wired News interviews podcast pioneer Adam Curry
Wired News has published an interview with former MTV veejay Adam Curry, now known for his work as a pioneer of podcasting. Curry helped create 'ipodder,' a tool that automates the process of downloading and listening to audio files. His Daily Source Code podcast has become an online hit, and he's developing a new software tool for podcasters -- a virtual studio for editing and producing. "It was back in July 2004. I just took bits and pieces of technology that already existed -- RSS, MP3s, iPods and other portable players -- and tried to bring them together to accomplish a simple task [...] I liked the fact that people were starting to blog audio files, but I didn't want to go have to look for them. I wanted that magical experience [...] for my computer to just go out and do all the work for me." In a recent report, the Washington Post looks at how the iPod has changed the public's view of traditional radio.
