Where It All Began - the First Episode of the Evil Genius Chronicles from August 20, 2004
Twenty years ago today, inspired by Dave Winer and Adam Curry I sat down in front of my laptop and started talking. The methods and equipment have changed but I've never stopped. Today I am celebrating that auspicious date by reposting my original episode. This preceded the coining of the term "podcasting", the existence of any podcatcher other than the Applescript Adam wrote, any tools to publish. This first week of my show I wrote a plugin in Perl for the Bloxsom blog engine that I used at the time. We figured it out as we went and I am honored to have been a part of it. Thank you to these gentlemen, to all my colleagues in the podcasting space and especially the listeners. Thank you to everyone who has ever listened, to one episode or to every episde. You are really the only reason I am still at it. Long may we all wave. Where It All Began - the First Episode of the Evil Genius Chronicles from August 20, 2004 Download audio
