Description:

This episode was recorded for my UK Column show.

Adam Curry pretty much invented podcasting.

He is a former MTV host (from way back in the late 80s when music was still good) and a pioneer in the field of podcasting, often referred to as the 'Podfather' for his significant role in shaping digital audio media.

He is known for co-hosting the podcast No Agenda with John Dvorak.

In his conversation with me, Adam explained where the term ‘podcast’ comes from, which I found fascinating. Once you know, it seems obvious. (Hint: it involves a call from Steve Jobs.)

We mostly just shot the breeze, chatting about music, MTV, fake news, Charlie Kirk's 'murder' and the importance of decentralisation.
