Before I dive in, I’d like to mention a short piece that comes from The Fizzle Show podcast, which is “for people building their thing online.” The show recently had its first anniversary, and on the 52nd episode the hosts shared “24 lessons learned in a year of podcasting.” It’s both a lighthearted and useful […]
On this lazy Sunday afternoon I’m listening to some new podcasts that I want to pass along to Radio Survivor readers. Random Tape I read Los Angeles magazine article about Dave Weinberg’s podcast that shares found home-recorded cassettes acquired at thrift stores, rummage sales and flea markets. As a fan of found ephemera I dived […]
We don’t get too personal here at Radio Survivor, but what I’m about to share is pertinent to the task at hand. This summer I left my day job, moved to Portland, Oregon, and started focusing much more time on Radio Survivor. One result of this is our weekly podcast coverage with the Podcast Survivor […]
Earlier this fall I started reviewing podcast episodes, and while I got a strong start, I realize the output has been a little meager lately. Reviewing podcasts is a bit like reviewing television programs – there’s a neverending supply every week of the year. Never the less, I don’t intend to stop listening and reviewing. […]
Podcast review: You Are Not So Smart #5 – Selling Out Rating: 3/5 I first found journalist David McRaney’s You Are Not So Smart blog almost three years ago when he first started publishing short pieces exploring all sorts of cognitive biases and the limitations of heuristic decision making. McRaney has convincingly taken on ideas […]
Podcast review: Back to Work #88 – So Many Reasons To Cry Rating: 3 / 5 Back to Work can be a frustrating podcast. Featuring productivity guru Merlin Mann and interlocutor Dan Benjamin, the podcast is ostensibly about strategies for getting good work done, and dealing with the challenges and barriers that can impede. The […]
When I started my podcast review project last week I stated that one of my reasons for the undertaking is that podcast reviews are relatively rare. The Onion’s A/V club does a weekly podcast review roundup that tends to be dominated by comedy podcasts. I’ve found plenty of other podcast review sites on the ‘net […]
Podcast Review: Seth Godin’s Startup School #3 – Creating Scarcity Rating: 4 / 5 I don’t know how many episodes will be in Seth Godin’s Startup School series, but here we find him at episode #3, which is just as good as the first two. For more background on the series see my review of […]
Podcast Review: Seth Godin’s Startup School #1 – Freelancer or Entrepreneur? Rating: 3.5 / 5 I found this podcast by reviewing the iTunes Store’s “new and noteworthy” section in the Podcast app on my iPhone. I just downloaded and started using the app this week, and was hoping to find something fresh to get me […]
Podcast review: Seth Godin’s Startup School #2 – Adjusting the Course Rating 4 /5 I have to admit that I was inspired to start writing these podcast reviews after listening to episode #2 of Seth Godin’s Startup School. In this episode Godin discusses some of the questions that an entrepeneur should ask about her prospective […]
