Catching up on podcasts
January 24th, 2008 by tom
A while back, I had a problem with my iPod. It’s a long story. Suffice it to say that I corrected it, wiped iTunes clean and started over. So I lost all my podcast subscriptions. Old episodes remained on my iPod, but iTunes lost all my subscriptions. So basically, I had a bunch of old Across the Sounds, outdated ze franks and time warp Rocketbooms with Amanda Congdon.
I started getting those old subscriptions back in order (one of those things you always mean to do, but forget). And then I started listening to some new things. Among them, DishyMix, which is Susan Bratton’s show. Cool stuff – I subscribed, but then also downloaded some back episodes. Last night on the train, I listened to the Brad Berens episode and the Doug Weaver/Scot McLernon episode. Any there are many more I want to catch up on, including Joseph Carrabis, C.C. Chapman, John Durham and a lot more. This show is really fun – I’ve worked with Brad Berens for years now, and I don’t think I knew he was also a comic book guy (which is something I need to talk to him about). Let’s just say I think it’s really cool that someone went out and put together a sort of “Behind the Marketer” type of show where we get to hear not only about how people in our industry make a living, but what they do when they get some downtime.
I’m also looking forward to catching up with what Jaffe has been doing. I like Joseph and what he does so much that I feel guilty about admitting that I’ve fallen off his subscription radar.
Howdy,
ummm….what’s a “subscription radar”? You do know I’m a Luddite, right?
And thanks for the nod. Let me know if there’s something specific you’d like me to write about. NextStage is sitting on lots of research we haven’t published yet.
And you can always subscribe to my newsletter by sending an email to randd(at)nextstagevolution.com with “Tom said I should read your newsletter” in the subject line.

I just made it up. I liken podcast subscriptions to the sweep of a radar dish, since iTunes and RSS subscription feeds occasionally check for a new release – kinda like radar searching the skies.
Since my subscription to Jaffe’s podcast managed to disappear, my computer wasn’t checking for new episodes. Hence, he fell off my subscription radar.
[...] be told, I’ve been bugging Susan to join her in the studio for a while, since I’m a fan. One of her latest tweets indicated she wants me to be on the show, so now I’m all giddy [...]
