Podcasted.
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a freelance writer for Macworld magazine about doing an interview regarding my Newton fetish enthusiasm. The interview would be part of Macworld’s self-declared ‘experiment’ in podcasting, a sporadically produced audio version of the ‘Geek Factor’ column found in the regular publication. After several attempts at securing a mutually acceptable date and time and then going through the process of setting up a Skype account (because geeks apparently don’t get interviewed over the telephone… duh) the interview took place. The whole thing went as smooth as could be expected. Skype worked amazingly well. I only used the phrase ‘um’ about four dozen times. I followed up with a email chock full of Newton resource links. I wasn’t told when the piece would be posted, so the whole thing sort of slipped my mind. Until today. A lapsed Newton user listened to the podcast and was inspired enough to send me an email saying that he was ready “… to get my 2100, eMate and others back into daily use.” Man, that must be some interview. I guess I should stop worrying about how much of a dork I must sound like and just listen to the darn thing. For the rest of you, download at your own risk.
