I’ve admired the work of the Webtalk Radio show for years now, literally. Last Thursday when I got back from the underwhelming PSP launch an exciting email invitation to their show later that night was waiting for me. I had a scheduled IRC chat event committment but thankfully Rob and Dana let me use their studio WiFi while they recorded the show.

Historically, I haven’t received too many invitations to be on other radio shows, I guess because folks don’t believe I’ve done or do much worth talking about, I’m boring to listen to and/or because I’ve had my own online radio show for years (and thus folks can just tune in and listen to what I’ve had to say about the web there).

I think Rob and Dana were a bit surprised that I was sort of a closet fan of their show. I don’t listen to their show regularly but I invariably enjoy their program when I have had a chance to listen to it. Their studio setup is definitely professional.

So, I was able to live one of my internet-related dreams last Thursday by being a guest on a show that I’ve respected and admired from afar. Thank you to Rob and Dana Greenlee and Webtalk Radio! I would love the chance to be invited back someday again to pinch hit for Mitch or whomever else.

People, places and things that we talked about on the show:

• Robert Scoble - leaving his link blog behind
• Stuart Henshall - there since the beginning of the Skype revolution
• 8 of 10 annoying blogger habits (never got to the last two, no thanks to my incessant rambling)
• financial future for podcasting (podcasting as a business)
• an interview with Steve Stroh, editor from Broadband Wireless Internet Access and co-host of Wireless Tech Radio on the future of wireless broadband
• The problem with cellular phone company lock-in
• Multi-tasking with IRC chat during the interview
• About the PSP launch day, the PSP’s UMD proprietary format, the green screen of death, Spider-Man 2, white earbuds paying homage to iPod? Browsing on the PSP … which a day later woud become possible through the Wipeout Pure DNS hack
• William Shatner! Token reference to Spock and Kirk
• The “insider” talk between Scoble and Winer, plus the legitimacy of the pioneer directory. Mainstream news frenzy and Dawn and Drew’s house
• Looking at what Matt May is doing with Staccato.
• Adam Curry and the use of Sniff ‘N Tears Driver’s Seat, plus licensing and fair use. The ASCAP Podcast License.
• Who — or what type of business — will make money podcasting?
• Being the dustbunny on somebody’s podcast hard drive: the problem with podcasting mechanics
• Google News and blogger sources, the importance of source filtering. Will too many (of the wrong kind of) blogs in Google news ruin the overall value? What type of blogs should be listed in Google News?
• 10,000 emails a day!
• How to take live callers on a podcast or streaming live show

If any of these topics or people are of interest to you, then stop by Webtalk Radio, download the show and leave some feedback. From what I understand, they only put up one show at a time so you only have a couple days to download (Rob or Dana feel free to correct me on this one).

Anybody with a technology, creative writing/blogging and/or developer-related radio show or podcast, please feel free to contact me via Skype (TDavid), phone or by email if you’d like to chat. You might be surprised just how flexible and approachable that I truly am and, who knows, maybe I’m already a fan of your program.
