Last night I went to the San Francisco Podcast Meetup last night, which is always a blast.  Shel Holtz and Chris Heuer and I sat in a corner making snarky comments about the speaker.  Hint for the future:  when talking to podcasters, talk about how your company relates to them, not about how your company makes money for themselves and independent music companies.  When he finally got to the stuff podcasters were interested in, there was a lot of good stuff about iodapromonet, but he’d already lost a lot of the audience.

One of the high points for me was the fact that Adam Curry showed up.  If you don’t know about Daily Source Code, you haven’t listened to one of the most popular podcasts on the ‘Net.  He’s also the main personality behind Podshow.  Of course, if you’re in my age group, you know Adam from his days as an MTV VJ.  One of the traditions at the Meetup is to pass the mic around at the start of the meeting and everyone introduces themselves and their podcast.  When I introduced myself, I heard Adam say something and point to me, but at the time, I knew I couldn’t have heard what I thought I had.  So after the main meeting I asked him what he’d said, and I’d heard him correctly, he’s subscribed to my podcast!  Now I’m sure Adam’s subscribed to a lot of podcasts, and we’ll see if he stays subscribed, but it felt good to have a high profile subscriber.  Plus, Adam’s only the second or third person I’ve met face to face who’s actually listened to my podcast.  Okay, ‘pat-yourself-on-the-back’ time is over.
