My friends, Wayne Sutton and Kipp Bodnar, produce a daily video podcast called Talk Social News, a show about the latest news in technology and social media. There is a lot of work that goes into a daily news show, even one that is only 10 minutes, and the timeliness becomes a bigger factor in the summer when vacation plans interrupt the information flow. Even though the show is done using online tools, and Wayne and Kipp are never in the same location, vacations don’t always include high speed connections required for video chat on ooVoo.

I helped them out by guest co-hosting one recent episode. The casual Friday edition of the show frequently includes upcoming movies, so Wayne and I shot this episode in front of a movie theater showing Bruno that day. I am calling this the lost episode because it still has not been posted on the Talk Social News site. Look for the show to resume its regular daily schedule in August.

My kids’ favorite podcast, The Radio Adventures of Dr Floyd, has a periodic joke show where they encourage kids to call in their favorite jokes. Grace was very excited to call in a joke, and has been waiting for it to appear on the show. Both Peter and I have been trying to explain to her that her joke might not get into the show. Well, a new joke episode was released this week and her joke was in it. Not only was it in the show, but it was the “Joke of the Show.” She was very excited when I told her.

Here’s a link to the MP3 file to hear her joke.

I just got the new Traveling Wilburys Collection. I contains the 2 albums, some unreleased tracks and a DVD. This late 80s, early 90s supergroup featured George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne (of ELO).

I put the CD on, and the music drilled right into my brain. It has been years since I’ve heard these songs, as I only have it on a copied cassette, but it was so familiar. It was almost like listening to the Beatles again. This is great music that is just as relevant as it was nearly 20 years ago. Glad it can find a new audience.

The site has Traveling Wilbury podcasts. I’m anxious to listen to them to see how an old band experiences the world of new media.

Anyone in or near Nashville on February 20 should head to the Edgehill Studios Cafe for this live music event, presented by CC Chapman of the Accident Hash podcast, and featuring:

Matthew Ebel
David McMillin
Geoff Smith
Codaphonic
Kevin Reeves

Here’s a promo.
