Dr. Domke describes an alcoholic as someone for whom alcohol causes problems but continues to drink. How often and how much you drink is irrelevant. He doesn’t consider it an addiction in the same way that tobacco is addicting. I found this one of his more interesting topics. Recorded March 18, 2006.

Sports highlights podcast
Chuck gave me this one at lunch and I couldn’t wait to try it on a couple folks when I got back to the office.
Our company produces the play-by-play broadcasts for some of the top colleges in the country. We pull audio highlights from each game and end up with dozens by the end of a game day. Arguably, the very best moments of the game.
I’d put a couple of sports goofs in a studio with 30 or 40 of these little nuggets and just have them play them, one after other. Just a little set-up on the front end and maye a few seconds of react. Lay some funky music under the entire thing. No mind-numbing analysis or second-guessing. Just play the highlights. And then put it up as a weekly podcast. I think fans would eat this up with a spoon.
Reaction was mixed. I used to pitch ideas like this as though my life depended on them. These days, I toss them out like cheap beads from a Mardi Gras float. If you catch one, good for you. If not, they were only cheap beads.

Podcasting audience to hit 50 million
Mark Ramsey asks: How much are you investing in podcasting vs. HD radio? And points to research comparing the two. As near as I can tell, the radio guys are putting the same old shit on their HD channels while podcasters are doing a million different things. At work they keep telling me, “It’s not about blogging and podcasting.” Uh huh. [via Tod Maffin]
