First segment posted
The first segment of the Independent Content Networks podcast is Here. This is part of what I'm calling the Independent Content Networks, something I see that can grow into a viable alternative to the commercial Networks of TV, Radio and the record industry.
OK, it's hard work putting together 17 minutes of podcast. We're workin hard. It's almost easier to produce a new song! I'm a bit stiff on mic but I'll force myself to get through this and bring the rawk! I bounced down to 128k mp3, since I really have a hard time sacrificing audio quality at 96k to save 5mb. Hey, it's downloading offline, so don't complain. Now I just have to get off Earthlink and move my domain name.
I have feelers out for Songfighters to introduce their music, their take on producing indie music. Next show will be stock full of personal stories. And less of me. Also, more pontificating about what Independent Content Networks can be. You think the RIAA is scared now? Wait until it's common place for artists to produce and distribute independently with things like RSS / Podcasting. And people subscribing to these feeds so they can carry them around and enjoy hours of unique music and programs. This can break the camel's back! This is even beyond public broadcasting ala NPR and PBS. So, we need to bring producers together and create a formal grid of distribution. Create channels that represent media / genre / authors. There will be too much content to leave it to individual feeds here and there. We need Tivo in the cloud. Some sort of head-end that aggregates according to how people search for stuff. How they desire it. Tivo wildcards gone wild.
Time to sleep!
