I haven’t added too many new podcasts to my daily listening as of late. But it looks like I’ll be adding these. I just stumbled upon the School of Visual Arts offerings, including a series of guest lecturers:

Eye candy for the ears?
David Weinberger interviews Cory Doctorow [mp3] the result, as you can expect is mind blowing. They cover why explicit metadata is crap, why Google works best with implicit metadata, and why tagging actually solves the problems with tagging.
It’s all real tasty. Perfect for Friday lunch listening.
I’ve been a Big Fan of the NPR show This American Life for a long time.
I’ve always liked the fact that they let you listen to every show they’ve ever made for free as long as you streamed it off the web. The only problem was you had to use Real Player, which we all [...]
Less than 24 hours after Darrel and I exchanged the list of public radio programs we’re listening to via the podcast (On the Media, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and Science Friday), Dave Winer points me to the takedown notice MN’s own PRI sent Jon Udell received for _linking_ to WBEZ-hosted mp3 files of This [...]

The reality TV format removes the professional actor and writer while increasing reliance on editors.
What happens if we remove everything else; [...]
A couple PodcastMN podcasters have received “you’d better stop playing our music” notices from the major record labels. Coincidentally, the podcasters were about to wrap up their programs anyway, the letter just made it an easier decision.
P.W Fenton’s Rest In Peace installment of DigitalFlotsam.org proclaims the death of the major label recording industry citing these [...]
In case you missed it, WebVisions 2005 has 10 mp3s of their proceedings available. Come back later for my thoughts on them. If you’ve given them a listen, what’d you think?
Update 22 Sep 2005: I’ve skimmed through them all and made it most of the way through Peter Merholz’s “Designing for the Sandbox” talk. This [...]
Chris Gee has started the Prepared Mind, podcasting on design-related topics. Including; design management, design certification, and experience design with David Heller.
