Many of you know Adam Curry from Mtv, but these days he's known as “the prince of pod” or “the podfather” or a few other (complimentary) things. He did a lot of pushing in a lot of ways to make podcasting what it is today. His almost daily show is The Daily Source Code, to appreciate it you really need to listen (at last count I think he said he's got 50,000 listeners). He does it like a live show, if he screws up it's there, it's about 40 minutes an episode so put it on your mp3 player or burn a few episodes to CD and listen to it at your convenience. He's hysterical. His show is about tech, podcasts, music and his life, check it out.
His show consists promos for other shows, music for (mostly small) bands he likes, adjusting to life in England, reverb, drumlines, cowbell and the (neverending) saga for high speed internet in his new home. He's been trying to get high speed access for a month now and it's a quest, it's actually made several papers that the 'Gilford exchange is out of ports and how this has been brought to light by the Daily Source Code'.
He really seems like a genuinely nice guy who'd be fun to hang out with. He's like the guy you know who has all the tech toys and seems to have time to work with them all and has the ability (and time) to have fun doing it!
For more podcasting artcles and info: CNN, Wired or Dave Pogue.
