Five Years of the PodFather
by Andrew McCaskey
August 13, 2004
A milestone, of sorts – the fifth anniversary of the Adam Curry Podcast, ‘The Daily Source Code’. Wired magazine informs that Dave Winer Morning Coffee Notes preceeded by one day, but that the MTV personality was the celebrity voice that launched podcasting.
It is still an amazing set of techical tools for those of us who grew up in or around commercial radio and television broadcasting. In the late 90′s I had streaming content through SportWings Radio hosted at Live365 – on Shoutcast. RSS technology first came on my radar at Gnomedex 2003 and clicked during conversations October 1-2 of that year. By October 12, SlashdotReview podcast was on the air – and has been since that time.
We all owe a debt to Dave Winer for the underlying technology and to pioneers like KenRadio, Rob Greenlee and Doug Kaye who were in the space with streaming technologies years before.
