I like this new podcasting API from BlogTalkRadio

by on February 19, 2008

Since my phone number is already public, I’m looking forward to using the new BlogTalk Radio Podcast API that Dave Winer discussed yesterday.

Holy donuts is this cool. Here’s my feed: feed://cinch.blogtalkradio.com/4252051921 — I called the magic number and it automatically recorded a podcast from my phone and put it on this feed. No work, no muss. Really easy way to record a podcast and have it waiting for you when you get home.

  • great !
  • Great, but doesn't work from the Netherlands...
  • cool. But I like utterz.
  • Yup, the future is now. Great to see where podcasting is going to in the coming months!

    Great another service that doesn't work from outside of North America - this time not for another other reason than they didn't make the phone numbers compatible!

    How hard would it have been early on to get a 01 at the start of the number in that URL?

    Access to a much larger market doesn't mean much obviously.

    You guys have got to stop being so inward focused!! :-)

    Ok we are guilty of only thinking about the US. We will fix it to allow international numbers shortly.
  • Bob Charish
    Ok international numbers are now working. The url is /CC+Number.

    Okay, so it's pretty cool, but hasn't it been done many, many times before?
  • No, it hasn't. Not with a phone number, and not by building a feed automatically without requiring a signup/signin.
  • I think I know how you can mask your phone number using FeedBurner. I posted about it at my site.

  • Hey Now Scrooble,
    I really like this idea, but like you said your phone number is public.
    Thx 4 the info,

    blogtalkradio caring only about the us they dont even do that all they care about is silencing those who speak the truth and making as much money as possible with their right-wing capitilist ways dont let them silence your voice of truth go to a far better url that does these radio host things
