Shoe’s on the other foot

December 30th, 2004 by mhjones

G’day World’s Cam & Mick have posted an episode of "On the Pod" featuring yours truly! As you might expect given the people involved, we talked about blogs vs traditional media, and I had to face the hard questions around IDG and RSS business models. Thanks for the chat guys, really enjoyed it.

It’s not every day that I’m the subject of an interview, and after years as an editor it was kinda bizzare not being the guy asking the tough questions. Didn’t really appreciate until now how tricky it can be when the shoe’s on the other foot.

One minor correction: When I mentioned Feedster in relation to RSS advertising, I actually meant Feedburner. That’s the thing about radio - it’s harder to edit retrospectively, particularly if you’re the guest.

Righto.. back to my holidays.

(Note: Looks like G’day World have exceeded their download limits, so if the site doesn’t work give it a day or two and I’m sure Mick will have finished scrambling to fix it).

    Congratulations Mark - I enjoyed listening to your guest appearance on Cam and Mick’s podcast - I have written an entry on my blog about your interview which you may find interesting. It is definitely an interesting time for traditional publishers and journalists as the “barriers to entry” for both publishing and broadcasting are rapidly evaporating and acts like Cam and Mick will develop a very big following (listenership) if they consistently have things to say that will interest, entertain or educate others.
