Where’s my Transistr?

I’ve been making multiple daily visits to the Transistr website in search of The Podcatcher Formerly known as iPodderX. So far, no soap.
I want to start using a client again, instead of directly downloading podcasts. Being somewhat slothful, I don’t always get shows downloaded when I should, and this week I spent far [...]

transistr

Actually, final vowel droppage and all, I love the name transistr for the podcatcher soon to be known as “the podcatcher formerly known as iPodderX”. Sheesh, look at the current iPX icon. I’m trying hard not to cop a sour grapes attitude here, but I never had a transistor radio quite as cool as [...]

transistr. Damn that final vowel droppage! And transistor radios were hot stuff in my day.

Rate your podcasts at the AmigoFish.
Get some recommendations from the AmigoFish.

Salute to the Bluesman

Can’t find/don’t know how to permalink to his blog post, so here’s the [...]

The Siderunners - 2o of separation

Yesterday, my NNW feed leapt for joy on receiving this full-feed post from The Evil Genius Chronicles. Anything with the word “Siderunners” in it gets my feet tapping. The Siderunners CD Ain’t Inventin’ The Wheel was the first album I bought after hearing them on a podcast; the EGC Clambake to be precise about [...]

Evangelism, RSS Style

Several coworkers got shiny new iPods under the tree a few days ago, and several of them are using the word “podcast” in complete sentences now. Just a scant year ago, I was explaining podcasting to a small group during a post-work bull session. The consensus then was “I don’t have an iPod, [...]

iPodderX now being redirected

The iPodderX website is now being redirected to Thunderstone Media’s site, which reads thusly:
Our application’s name is changing!
We are currently undergoing a name change for the application formerly known as iPodderX. Both the application itself and the online podcast directory are currently unavailable.
Please note that the name change will not affect current users. The software [...]

Quick Podcast Downloads

With the new internet pipe, I can now download a podcast in very little time. Today’s drivetime choice is Finally, My Last Christmas Music Show, from the Brooklyn Bluesman. Looking forward to the drive today.

Saa-lute! #2
