On the radioooooo

What an honor to be on the radio with Christopher Lydon on NPR/KUOW yesterday (he is the first official podcaster, although our book got that detail wrong). We were talking about “what makes a city great.” I’m a transplant into Seattle and it was interesting to spend a few minutes thinking about what makes a great city. Yesterday I was on KOMO radio too, with Joe Trippi. I’ll also be on John Moe’s business and technology show next Tuesday night.

Funny thing, when I got to the KUOW studios someone in the audience (I didn’t get her name) told me “hey, I saw you on Rocketboom today.” That was freaky. The studios are nice there, right above Tower Records. Well, enough of the old-school media.

Comments

  1. To which was the old school media comment directed? Christopher Lydon still podcasts. In fact, here’s the link to the page for your show:

    Somehow I don’t think that’s the only one. If I had the time (which I don’t as History Channel calleth), I’d love to ‘fact check your ass’. I zapped thru at least a dozen on a light read, and I am sure I could find more if deconstructing it. But figures when a PR type, instead of a journalist, kicks up dust; as takes at face value, and doesn’t always double-check.

    Just so you’re a little less freaked out…the “from the audience” person was me. Actually, I help produce The Works, and I helped Open Source that day, and since you were on both shows, I had to check you out. And the Rocketboom link was right up top on your blog that day- thus, you, Rocketboom, me watching you on Rocketboom- there you have it. Cheers, Sara Lerner.

  7. [...] Scoble used as advertising for Seattle NPR station KUOW. In an update to KUOW supporters, Robert Scoble’s visit to KUOW was mentioned as a way to advertise their internet and HD radio content “Robert is among a growing group of technology-savvy individuals who are defining and shaping new media. He is able to selectively aggregate information and entertainment from many publishing audio and video sources via the internet. He tunes into the Web. Robert is a broadcatcher: a new breed of lister, catching their broadcast using all technology available. Witness the Scobalization of Public Radio! Support KUOW!
