Since I’ve been talking about women in podcasting, I figured it would be a good idea to create a running list of podcasts which feature women as hosts or cohosts. Here are the ones I know about so far…
Last night I published my quasi-weekly e-mail newsletter announcing recent postings to this weblog. That issue contained several weird question marks where single or double quotation marks should have appeared…
Today, as promised, Kris Smith posted the second half of our wide-ranging talk from last Friday. See his podcast “Croncast: Amy and her friend Kris Ep. 2.” Today’s show starts with a discussion of women in podcasting — or rather the current lack thereof, definitely on the creator side and probably on the audience side. I was fairly pointed in my observations on this topic, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some people take issue with what I said. Well, as always, if you question or object to anything I have to say, e-mail me (editor@contentious.com) or comment to this post (or on “Croncast”) and we can discuss it. In the second part of this conversation, Kris and I explored the potential overlap of podcasting and e-learning or distance learning. Here are some links, side notes, and stuff I forgot to mention…
Learning overload has become a perpetual undercurrent of my psyche. I continually feel overwhelmed by how much I need to learn in order to do things I want to do or just keep up with life…
In the realm of content management systems, I periodically see discussion of contextual (context-sensitive) editing: fine-tuning the final phrasing or presentation of content to suit the situation in which it will be displayed. There’s a debate brewing over contextual editing for content that is handled by a CMS. Specifically, is contextual editing a thing of the past – or should it be, at least for organizations that manage a ton of content via CMS? I don’t think so, but I do think it’s often possible to shift more of the editorial work to the front end of the process…
Here are some items related to weblogs and blogging that caught my attention over the past month. TOP OF THIS LIST: Jay Rosen on BloggerCon III. On Nov. 6 there was a very interesting conference at Stanford Univ. — the third Bloggercon conference. I really wish I’d gone, but I’m glad NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen was there… (Read the rest of this list…)
OK, this looks like a lot of fun. I just got the creativity/brainstorming game MetaMemes, created by Kes Sampanthar. The concept is simple, and I think I’ve figured out how to play this game online among 3-4 geographically distributed players who each have a copy of the 214-card deck. You can buy the game online. ($23 plus shipping, USD) So who wants to play with me online? E-mail me! (editor@contentious.com) Here’s a bit about the game…
There’s some server trouble affecting e-mail and web access at that domain. It should be fixed soon. If you need to e-mail me for now, please use my address editor@contentious.com. Thanks.
This morning, the eminently cool podcaster Kris Smith interviewed me for his show Croncast. Check it out: Croncast - Amy and her friend Kris Ep. 1. We continue our discussion about text vs. audio editing that began with my Dec. 14 pod people article and its Dec. 15 followup. Kris and I also recorded two more shows. Kris will post the first of these, a discussion about women and podcasting (and the net, and technology, and communication…) on Tuesday Dec. 21. I’ll be sure to announce that here when it’s up. …Now here are a few things I meant to say but forgot because I’m such a podcasting novice…
I don’t watch much television, but one show I truly enjoy is the PBS newsmagazine NOW with Bill Moyers. Well, tonight Moyers is signing off as the show’s host…
