IT'S FRIDAY! And that means it's time to rip for the weekend. My ripping isn't track-to-iPod anymore. Instead, I normally spend an hour pulling down podcasts for weekend listening. My aching laptop cannot run podcatchers in the background anymore because I have no scratch space to give away to audio downloads. That means I flip around to fav podcasts and to the Podsafe Music Network for downloads. There are no wasted clicks because all those at the top of my listening preferences have fresh content every weekday. Before I get started on my ripping, I wanted to mention that Adam Curry has a must-hear episode--DSC 324 (direct link to MP3). It contains excellent real-world examples of how conversations sell products. After listening to it, I have to resist "BUY ME" urges for coffee, the countdown clock and new music. Recommended.
For those who rip and then scrub forward, here are Curry's shownotes:
