The Gotham Gal and I invited two special guests over for brunch this
morning and we recorded a 25 minute podcast with the "father and son of
podcasting".
The father of podcasting being Josh Harris, founder of the
pioneering podcasting and videoblogging company Pseudo.com which
started recording and broadcasting audio on the Internet in 1995.
Here's a post I did about Josh, Pseudo, and podcasting version 1.0.
The son of podcasting being Jason Calacanis, who turned me on to
podcasting in 1997 when he invited me to join him on the Silicon Alley
Reporter radio show at Pseudo's studios on Houston Street and Broadway
in lower Manhattan.
So The Gotham Gal, Jason, Josh, and I spent about 25 minutes talking
about the early days of podcasting and how Pseudo got started. We then
got into the crazy days of the late 90s when Josh turned Psuedo into
the digital equivalent of Andy Warhol's factory.
That evolved into a discussion of Josh's alter ego, Luvvy the clown,
and how Josh and his girlfriend Tanya recorded their soho loft 24 hours
a day, seven days a week.
The podcast ends with a discussion of the wilson's family upcoming
"red state weekend" and Jason Calacanis trash talking the Nascar crowd.
All in all, a very fun show and well worth a listen for anyone who
wants to know how podcasting got started, what happened in that crazy
days of "silicon alley" in the late 90s, and Josh Harris' views on the
"synthetic reweaving of society".
