How A Wedding Caused Podcasting
May 17, 2007
Last Friday Mike and Akiyo finally ceremoniously tied the knot at the all too wonderful Sumiyoshi-taisha. It was a very beautiful Japanese wedding with a really awesome reception. Later that night the woman and I MC’d the nijikai and had a great time. Congratulations to those two. Pictures pending permission from the bride and groom.
At the nijikai, the lady won an iPod shuffle! I swore I’d never buy an iPod but if it’s given as a gift, well I don’t see the harm in that. The lady “let” me use it and I’ve been playing with podcasts and iTunes ever since. I really like that tiny 1 sq. inch sized, 1GB piece of machinery.
Finally, with an iPod, I subscribed to Streamlink to listen Coast to Coast AM, still going strong after all these years with George Noory and Art Bell. With dozens of shows archived away, I’ve been struggling to find time to listen to everything. I’m managing to eke about 4, 40 minute clips a day, from my waking moments to the last conscious moments (I go to sleep listening to it). It’s great!
