'Podcast' Is the Word of the Year: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance

Cool. And they almost got the def right. It's all about the distribution model. The syndication. Just posting an mp3 on the 'Net ain't a podcast. No RSS, no Podcast. Oh well. Maybe RSS will be in the 2007 Oxford.


'Podcast' Is the Word of the Year: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance: "Podcast, defined as 'a digital recording of a radio broadcast or similar program, made available on the Internet for downloading to a personal audio player,' will be added to the next online update of the New Oxford American Dictionary, due in early 2006."

President's Remarks to the Travel Pool at Summit of the Americas in Argentina

Succinct.

President's Remarks to the Travel Pool at Summit of the Americas in Argentina: "Q Hi, Mr. President. Thank you. Did Karl Rove tell you the truth about his role in the CIA leak case? And do you owe the American people an apology for your administration's assertations that Karl Rove and Scooter Libby weren't involved?

THE PRESIDENT: We're going through a very serious investigation. And I will -- have told you before that I'm not going to discuss the investigation until it's completed. And we have got a -- my obligation is to set an agenda, and I've done that. And the agenda is fighting and winning the war on terror, and keeping the economic vitality and growth alive, dealing with the energy problem, nominating people to the Supreme Court that adhere to the philosophy that I can depend on -- Judge Alito being such a person. I noticed today that they've got a date. I'm disappointed in the date, but happy they do have a firm date for his confirmation hearing. We've got to recover from the hurricanes. So I've got a lot to do, and will continue to focus on the people's business."

Clinton on Sheehan

Bill Clinton was on Larry King Live last night. And he showed he is a decent human being. Bush, take notes.

CNN.com - Transcripts: "KING: Should the president have met with the lady who lost her son?

CLINTON: I think he'd seen her once before. You know, I think I would have but that's a question only he can answer.

KING: But you would have.

CLINTON: Yes, you know, I met with the people that I gave the Medal of Honor to, people who -- some people who were killed on Black Hawk Down and one of the fathers was very angry at me and I knew it. And he said some really rough things to me and...

KING: How do you handle that?

CLINTON: It wasn't easy but I thought I owed it to him. His son gave his life in the service of this country and this father served in Vietnam, was a veteran. I thought that he had the right to say to me whatever he wanted to say. There is no greater pain in life than having a child die before you.

There is nothing worse and I had sent his son into harm's way. And the thing was not managed as it should have been. And he was -- as far as I was concerned, he'd earned the right to say whatever he wanted to me. And if he felt better when it was over, then it was a precious little thing I could do is to take the heat coming in.

So that's the way I feel. But that's a decision that each president has to make, you know, because it's not like he can change the lady's opinion. I just -- I think, you know, when you send people into harm's way and you know there is going to be killing and dying, some people are going to be very unhappy. History will record whether she was right or he was right on the policy but on the human level, she lost her son and that's a tough thing."

Addicted to MSA

NYT did a big ol' story about podcasting. They basically said Dan Klass of The Bitterest Pill was a drug addict. They didn't get the joke. Attention: You need do more than read the descriptions on iTunes and listen to one show before you write a story.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/22/arts/22heff.html

"The Bitterest Pill" is the podcast of Dan Klass, an intelligent, low-key (depressive?) actor and self-identified addict in Los Angeles; he opines about addiction and complains about his laptop and his health, as his baby cries in the background. Why is this endearing? It just is, like many forthright accounts of boomer loserdom. Mr. Klass also worries about podcasting going mainstream. "Do you really need to hear Dick and wacky Dale from KRAP in St. Louis?" he asked on a recent broadcast ...

Correction: July 23, 2005, Saturday:

A Critic's Notebook article in Weekend yesterday about podcasts referred incorrectly to Dan Klass, creator of "The Bitterest Pill." While he has indeed called himself an addict, he said that the description was intended as a humorous reference likening himself to fans of his podcast who call themselves addicts, and that he is not really an addict.



Another correction. The Rising Force wasn't mentioned! If you check out Dan's page, he did a whole show on it. With recordings of the phone calls he made to NYT. Aw yeah.
