Boing Boing Daily Digest 003 10/26/2012

I am continuing to experiment with a daily digest highlighting some of my favorite posts on Boing Boing. This one is about eight minutes long. Let me know what you think!

Mark Frauenfelder is the founder of Boing Boing and the editor-in-chief of MAKE and Cool Tools. Twitter: @frauenfelder. Come and hear Mark speak at the ALA conference in Chicago on July 1.

Skip! I just don’t care for this sort of thing. Note: I’m not trying to be a hater! I can easily skip it in my Google Reader, so this doesn’t detract from my life or anything. I’m just tossing in my opinion since you asked what we thought– I’m pretty sure I won’t ever listen to one of these, personally.

This is great commentary, Mark. I think making it clear that you are offering your take on all things BB would be a good thing to make clear in your posts about it.

I think you could also talk beyond “for the day” issues and discuss longer-term interests — the general directions of things that a blog approach may not easily handle, say, how you feel about this presidential election generally.

Info about how BB works behind the scenes would also be cool.

These audio updates could also serve as a platform to discuss things that are of interest to you/users, which may not exactly fit neatly into the World of BB.

And I suspect that bringing on one of the others from time to time to explain their work/editorial POV/lives would also be welcome.

Basically, what I mean is: You have an awesome podcast/”radio”/talk show. Run with it!

  These are great suggestions, Joel. I appreciate it. I’ve talked to Xeni about it, and she’s going to try doing this soon, too.
