Episode 4: Online Video Wants to be President When It Grows Up

TalkShoe finally found our fourth show, Video Wants to be President When It Grows Up. Direct MP3 link/enclosure here.

Join Zadi Diaz, Steve Garfield, and Steve Woolf for Episode 4 of New Mediacracy Live, recorded live, January 18, 2007 at 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PST on TalkShoe.

We discussed the presidential candidate announcement videos, and a ton of other stuff.

As many of you know from our weekly gripes, TalkShoe is a technical disaster. Their client software and website is a user interface disaster, their technical support is slow to respond and less than helpful, and the audio quality has been lousy. We still think TalkShoe has potential, but it needs work. Maybe we'll revisit it in the future.

In the meantime, we will be using Skype for future podcasts. We'll post a schedule and a Skype account name that those of you who want to participate in the talkcast can use to join us. Thanks for sticking through our technical problems!

Snowed Under in Southern California

004 - Catching up, community, and thanks (0:35:09) (direct MP3 link)

Featuring Zadi Diaz and Steve Woolf from their Los Angeles apartment.

Been a while, hasn't it. Well, we're back to catch up on things. Like many videobloggers, we have been presented with a bunch of opportunities and we're far too paranoid to pass on any of them, which makes for an interesting schedule. We talk about JETSET, a new television pilot we're working on, how to involve the community in our TV project, the online dustups in the videoblogging community, and send end-of-year shout outs to a bunch of people. We know we forgot some people, so please forgive us if you're not mentioned!!!
