A friend of mine from the "old days of the Web," Tery Spataro, interviewed me for her site Daily Eats. I am an occasional contributor to the site - my little foray into writing about food. Listen to the interview!I am in love with the technology she is using - GabCast - although I have yet to try it myself. I've been thinking about my own podcast, and this seems to be an easy solution.Other posts

The learning curve for producing own radio segments on my own equipment (PowerBook G4, ProTools MBox, Sony MD recorder) is tremendous. Luckily, Marketplace takes the elements I gather and create and put them together for me.Here's my 2nd segment for them.Keeping a head above water in AlaskaGlobal warming has the water rising in the Native Alaskan village of Newtok...Listen to this story!

I've been ruminating on my film idea following my quest for the "Perfect Karoake" in Alaska, and someone smartly brought up the song clearance issue.
