Tom Raftery, social media consultant, speaker, blogger and podcaster
I will be conducting a couple of interesting podcast interviews in the next few days for podleaders.com.
The first is with dotMobi CEO Neil Edwards and the second is with Microsoft’s Silverlight Project Manager, Brad Abrams.
If you have any questions you’d like me to put to them, leave your questions in the comments of this post, or in the comments on the relevant podleaders posts.
Tomorrow afternoon I’ll be interviewing Ross Mayfield, co-founder and CEO of Socialtext for a podcast on PodLeaders.com.
Socialtext makes enterprise social software for collaboration - i.e. Wikis, for corporate customers mostly.
If you have any questions you’d like me to put to Ross, please feel free to leave them in the comments of this post.
The BBC is reporting that there will very shortly be a plugin for Skype which acts as a lie detector by analysing:
audio streams over a Skype call in real time and illustrates the stress levels of the other person
Most of my PodLeaders podcasts are recorded Skype conversations - this could add a whole new dimension to the interviews!!!
Audacity is an open source, cross-platform sound editing application. It is the sound editor I use for producing the PodLeaders and it@cork podcasts.
The process I use for producing the podcasts was:
After a recent conversation with Doug Kaye, I decided to try his Levelator application to get the levels on the recordings the same. This meant I had to change Wiretap Pro to output to aiff ( a lossless format) instead of mp3.
I did this and recorded a number of interviews successfully, saving the interviews as aiff. However, yesterday, when I went to edit the first of those interviews, I was disappointed that the Levelator couldn’t work with the files (gave an error and stopped trying to level them).
However, I was horrified when I tried importing the files into Audacity only to find that the imported files had massive echo problems, echo problems (!). No matter what I tried I couldn’t get rid of the echo and it made the audio useless.
Finally, I hit on a solution:
I should have hit on this solution sooner but it had been a long day!
Kim Cameron is Microsoft’s Identity Chief and as such is responsible for developing InfoCard - Microsoft’s successor to the much reviled Passport. Kim elucidated the Seven Laws of Identity and is developing InfoCard to conform to those laws. If he manages this, he will have changed fundamentally how Microsoft deals with people.
Kim is also responsible for Microsoft recently releasing 35 pieces of IP and promising to never charge for them.
I will be interviewing Kim this coming Tuesday (Oct 24th) for a PodLeaders podcast - if you have any questions you’d like me to ask Kim, feel free to leave them in the comments.
I’ll be interviewing Doug Kaye of The Conversations Network and GigaVox Media this afternoon for a PodLeaders podcast.
Doug has been podcasting since before the term was invented!
As always, if you have any questions you’d like me to put to Doug, feel free to leave them in the comments.
