Adam
Curry Wants to Make You an iPod Radio Star
Wired News - USA
He's gone from MTV to MP3, and now he's leading a grassroots
rebellion called podcasting. Why amateurs may soon rule the airwaves (begin
download now).
"People think I'm this poseur guy from MTV, but I don't care," says Adam Curry,
the former VJ whose long blond locks once mesmerized teenyboppers across the
globe. "I've always had this total dual life as a geek and a celebrity." He
pauses for a moment and flashes the signature Curry smile. He's trimmed his mane
and become an Internet entrepreneur, but he's still got that swoon-inducing
grin.
Curry, 40, is the brains behind iPodder, a tiny application that he believes has
the power to challenge commercial radio. iPodder is the bastard offspring of the
blog and the Apple MP3 player. It combines the hyperactive talkiness of blogs
and the hipness of iPods into something utterly new: the podcast. iPodder uses
the blog syndication tool RSS to automatically download homebrew radio shows,
podcasts, directly into a portable MP3 player.
