Episode #4 of the Boing Boing Boing podcast (our motto: "B cubed or be square") is ready for downloading. Each block of the photo-mosaic above shows you what's inside.
Our guest this week is Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and author of "The Long Tail." With Chris, we talk about:
Robert Anton Wilson, Jon Lech Johansen, GooTube, book burning, John Hodgman's book tour, and how the infinitely versatile longtail theory applies to matters as diverse as low-grossing grossout movies, coffee, beer, public access cable TV shows, George Lucas, and Disneyland rides.
UPDATED Links (earlier published file was truncated at the end): Podcast, Podcast Feed, Subscribe via iTunes, MP3 Link (64K). Total time of podcast: 40:57.
UPDATE 2: Here's an MPEG-4 version (aka .m4a) of this week's episode, with support for chapters: Link. MP3 is the more standard format for podcasts, but I love that MPEG-4 allows you to divide a long audio file into bite-sized chapters, and embed art, descriptions, and links for each. Hope you enjoy it.
BONUS: The music you hear in this week's episode is by Q-Burns Abstract Message, aka producer and indie digital music entrepreneur Michael Donaldson. The song featured in Boing Boing Boing is his remix of "Angel Soup" by Cold Hands, recently released on vinyl and digital via
Blunted Funk Records. He has very kindly uploaded this tune for free listening in entirety: Link, with info on where you can purchase this and other music by Q-Burns in delicious DRM-free MP3. I don't have a PhD in jamology like he does, but even a layperson like me can detect powerful dance waves and funkton particles emitting from this song.
