Big Week
On Monday, Relay FM went live. We published the first episode of each of our five shows first thing in the morning.
Myke interviewed Marco Arment on Inquisitive, we spoke about the history of the iPod on Connected while the Nintendo DS and PS 4 were the topics of choice on Virtual.
Since Analog(ue) with Casey Liss is a new show, he and Myke spoke about launching things. However on the venerable Pen Addict podcast, Myke and Brad jumped right back in.
How to subscribe to Relay FM podcasts
You can subscribe to all of Relay FM’s shows in iTunes or via RSS in your podcast app of choice. We had all of the groundwork in place to redirect the feeds with 5by5’s help, but ran into some technical issues and decided new feeds would be best for Relay FM and our listeners in the longterm. Anyways, here are the links:
Mindset of 2001⇢
This week, on the first episode of our new show, Myke, Federico and I discuss the past, present and future (lol) of the iPod.
If you were subscribed to The Prompt, you’ll need to resubscribe. We were hoping to avoid this, but ran into some technical reasons that new feeds would be better for everyone. You can do so here:
We’ll be back next week with Episode 2, which should stream live on the Relay FM site.
A decade of podcasting⇢
Cyrus Farivar at Ars explains how Adam Curry’s audio-via-RSS experiment exploded into the world of content so many of us enjoy everyday.
Why a network?⇢
Myke Hurley, on why we decided on creating a network:
Podcast networks are not pots of gold. They don’t guarantee you success nor advertising dollars. That still has to come from the hard work that you put in. Joining an established network today does not necessarily make you a runaway hit tomorrow.
So why do I want to set up a new network? For me there is one clear reason. I host six shows. Working on one show is a simple enough affair, but once you start to grow from there, it becomes a lot more tricky to scale. I don’t want to set up separate webpages for all of the shows that I do. For me, it makes most sense to put all my shows in one place that I can point people too. It’s as simple as that.
For the Record⇢
I was honored to be on Tim Smith’s excellent podcast, For the Record. We spoke about work, side projects and why I don’t work for myself full-time.
Knowledge is Dangerous⇢
I joined Joe Saponare, Sam Valencia and Peter Cohen on the latest episode of Moisés Chiullan’s Thank You For Calling podcast to talk about customer service in the IT world.
World’s Greatest Finale⇢
Yesterday marked the end of The Prompt:
The young men (and Stephen) of The Prompt gather one last time and discuss Overcast and IBM.
Be sure to listen to every last second of the file, becuase there’s a great surprise at the end.
Over 57 episodes, Federico, Myke and I generated just shy 3 GB of MP3 files that would take someone 3 days, 47 minutes and 35 seconds to listen to. I couldn’t be prouder of our work on 5by5, and couldn’t be more excited about the future. Stay subscribed to the feed; we’ll be back with something new soon.
Prompt.photos sunset’d⇢
Well, there’s this:
We’re delighted to announce that we never let you upload anything to our wonderful, hyper-connected service for curating your precious moments. We could not be happier that you could never use this. Today, we’re curating our pivot to provide for peak sunset value. The Prompt has ended, and we’d hate to have to provide a way for you to download things from this service. Just thinking about all that work seems tiring. Remember us fondly, with all the other cursed services.
