Lumpy's Sticky Site

It amazes me how long we have stuck with the term "PodCast". It is just as amazing, but also somewhat disheartening, to see how many still have no clue what one is referring to when one uses the word. Maybe the name is a failure?

Exactly what is a "PodCast"? In short, I think it is just a really bad name for a really kewl thing. It is, quoting Wikipedia it is "A podcast is a series of digital media files, usually either digital audio or video, that is made available for download via web syndication.Quot;

I also wish to point out immediately, a PodCast, is not a stream. You listen to streams in real time. Podcasts are "on demand". The best you could do to listen to a stream on demand would be to record it.

I don’t know, that definition is still rather lacking. I think most people understand what one means by "on demand" media is. It means, I can get media and view or listen to it when I want to. We call it "Time Shifting". PodCasts, likely not the best name and a remnant of the iPod, are that but they are also much more.

While you certainly could visit this site and simply download each episode manually, the phrase "via web syndication" makes all the difference. It means that there is client software, often referred to by the similar slang of "PodCatcher" that will automatically capture the "feeds" you desire. In this sense, Podcasts are only pre-recorded. You get the latest automatically via a client or online feed reader.

Many sites, such as this one, also offer online players for you to just listen if you wish. The bottom line is that a "PodCast", maybe, should be dropped as a name. It still means that is it a way for you to automatically get your media and enjoy it at you leisure and convenience. Maybe simply referring to them as "Media Feeds" or "NetCast" may be better. I will leave that debate for another time or maybe just leave it alone entirely.

Regardless of what you call it, it is a very kewl way to get the media you enjoy. That really is the most simple and plain way I can describe it.

What follows are the show notes from my 21 January, 2009 show on Geeks Radio. The show was to originally air on the 7th of January but a few weeks of the bot being podcast hostile prevented that.

I know this has been a sporadic site for posting podcasts to of the late but I simply have my hands full enough doing a weekly 2 hour show over at Geeks Radio

I am also aware that many of you who listen over there used to download me over here. I know at least a few of you that have requested spins from artists that either I am not able to play over there. It may be something as simple as the musician and I have not made contact, there may be some material that is not fit for broadcasts with out adding bleeps or there may simply be a license issue.

This show is especially for those listeners. Thanks for all the support from all of you over the years. Can you believe that Usrbingeek posted my first podcast as a topic in lockergnome in Wyldryde IRC over 5 years ago? Seems like yesterday.

I have also begun archiving the Geeks Radio past show here at lumpy’s corner. The catagory for those shows is Lumpy on Geeks Radio. Soon enough I will have more up and will also begin a similar archive for the old Radio Static podcasts.

For now here is what I went with in terms of music:

• I opened the show with a band that I do play over at Geeks Radio. 100 Year Picnic. These guys are very supportive of podcasters and were even nice enough to surprise us with and intro back when I did Radio Static. I played the following:
  • Take this Town
  • Make Things Right
  • You can also find 100 Year Picnic at Pod Show
• Next I played some material from Kelcy Mae. I sent it out to one who has requested it, check out Dave at Dave and Ethell’s PlaceI played:
  • A Cut For You
  • Texas Sky
  • A Select Few
  • Strange Confidence
  • You can also find rough cuts of Kelcy Mae tracks at Podsafe Audio
• The next set was sent out to Cleta who was the lucky recipient of a Pale Hollow CD. I played the following from this band that I also spin over at Geeks Radio:
  • Rolling Through the Days
  • Sugar Cane
  • Roll the Stone Away
  • Let the Change Begin
  • Pale Hollow can aslo be found over at Pod Show
• I next played some Matthew Ebel and it was sent out to one I know as noggie and/or Dog Reader. You can check her out at Lockergnome, Public Radar and Flying Hamster. The set to "Noggieness" included:
  • Drive Away
  • Sally Went Down
  • This Too Shall Pass
  • Matthew Ebel can also be found at Pod Show
• I closed out the show with a track that I love and receives praise every time I air it at Geeks Radio. I played "Grover’s Tune" by Bill Mecca. You can also find Bill at Pod Show

This is just one of the things a geek has to take a photo of.. heh

This is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame from just South of it and up a slight hill. I took this photo from the northern end of the park where the Free Stamp lies.

This is about the spot where all the visitors pose for photos of themselves in front of the Rock Hall. You can see a few of them in the foreground.

lumpythecyberjunkie posted a photo:

This is one of those spots where all the visitors stop and pose for snapshots. This Free Stamp located at E 9th and Lakeside was originally to be in front of the BP Building on Public Square. There was protest over that and it ended up being stored and finally here. Nonetheless, it is the worlds largest rubber stamp.

I think these props were made by the same designer who did props for Pink Floyd but am not sure. They have been here for years and are just one of the things that make the entrance so kewl. This image shows 2 of the three cars.
