The father of articles about podcasting?

OK, should I claim any credit for the fact that first I get a piece into New Statesman about podcasting, and then The Guardian runs one in its G2 features area (ie not the dweeby Online bit, because obviously - huh! - that doesn’t count in this game), and then this morning the Today program has an item on it? I mean, they’ve happened within about two weeks of each other.

I mean, knowing how these things tend to filter through the system - seen here, repeated there…?

(Yes, I know - the BBC has been doing podcasts itself for absolutely ages, and Ben Hammersley wrote about podcasts back in December in Online. It’s just when these things break into the open, so to speak, by getting spoken by John Humphrys, and written in the bits of the paper that don’t have weird graphics to indicate that Here Be Dragons (& Dungeons).

    Charles, this way lies madness. Unless you’re talking investigative journalism on the level of Woodward and Bernstein and Watergate, no one cares who’s first. Make nice with the great quotables, that’s what you want to do.

    Tch, and there was me leaving off the <irony> tags… I guess this means I’m never going to be Dave Winer. Oh, the suffering. The pain.

    Bonus link: Michael Gartenberg on John, Paul, George and Ringo NEVER did a podcast.

    Yeah, and what have they ever done at Stanage, either? (Climbing joke.)
