ARTICLES & PUBLIC APPEARANCES

Here are some public remarks I’ve made on broadcasting and the early days of podcasting. Given how quickly technology evolves, my opinions may be of mostly archeological interest. However, they describe something about the potential of podcasting we discovered with “Morning Stories” back in 2004 that, decades later, is still far from being fully realized — the ability to forge a collaboration with your audience.

The Internet is the most effective tool ever created for exchanging data around the world. But “Morning Stories” did more than exchange data, it exchanged real experiences through the power of story. In a world where people everywhere seem more set against each other than ever, the exchange of personal stories that deepen our human connection could become an important tool for our survival.

As I said at the beginning of this website, “Peace is knowing what it’s like to be the other guy.”
