I don't have a Bluetooth thing on my ear. That bugs me.
We're in this period where we're getting good data rates. I would say we're getting data rates that are like the data rates we got when we launched RealAudio in 1995.
There's nothing more pathetic than listening to a football game over the Internet, but I've done that.
I don't have an iPod! It's never appealed to me, really.
Anyone can put up a podcast, any application can locate and download it. It's a decentralized, hacked together, open system and, as podcaster and a listener, I think it works perfectly.
RADIO IS DEAD. The once-bright star that was public broadcasting has been destroyed by greed and corproate muscle to the point that even the music that is completely repugnant is positioned to be popular.
The technology is getting better. There will be a day when you'll be able to hear any music you want, anywhere you are, on demand, in a quality that is as good as when it was made. Things are moving in that direction.
Podcasts, and the way they are distributed, are extremely simple technologically. Indeed, 'RSS,' the feed protocol that connects podcast apps to the audio files that they need, stands for 'Really Simple Syndication.'
You better check your playlist. Because you are on the wrong track.
Traditional radio is not going to die; it's going to evolve.
It's all about sound. It's that simple. Wireless is wireless, and it's digital. Hopefully somewhere along the line somebody will add more ones to the zeros. When digital first started, I swear I could hear the gap between the ones and the zeros.
You can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well.
The competitive landscape for us is very broad. We see ourselves in the entertainment space. We compete with listening to the radio. We compete with watching TV. We compete with social networks.
I don't have an iPod.
The radio's pretty much always on, and I also listen to some American podcasts, such as for 'National Public Radio' and 'Newsweek'.
Podcasting is not really that different from streaming music, which we've done for quite a long time. Having a traditional podcast that people subscribe to - the hype is ahead of the quality. Podcasting is essentially a download, and you run into copyright issues. What you're left with currently is podcast talk radio.
Ever since Napster I've dreamt of building a product similar to Spotify.
He flipped the dail, and I crossed my arms over my chest as some vaguely European-sounding band sang about how video had killed the radio star. I wished someone would kill this radio.
The podcast is a bit like a phone call, except you don't say anything.
I'm down with Spotify. I don't know all the financial details but generally it's a great resource.
I believe... we were told that the 'Bluetooth AirPods', whatever they are, can be used on anything that supports Bluetooth audio.
Both traditional broadcasters and podcasters are betting heavily on the growth of voice-driven technology and so-called smart speakers, the theory being that it is as easy to ask Amazon's Alexa to play you the 'Guardian Books' podcast as it is to get it to play Capital FM.
I like NPR's podcasts because I can listen to those on the bus.
