    Mediageek Radioshow and Podcast now at the Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications in the Internet Archive

    I am very honored to have my old radioshow and podcast, also named mediageek, archived at the Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications in the Internet Archive. While listening back to some old episodes, nearly all recorded live from a community radio studio, occasionally makes me cringe, there are also interviews I’m proud of,…

    Update

    It’s been a little more than a year since I moved from Chicago to Portland, and about fifteen months since I left my career in instructional technology in higher education. Some days it feels like so much change has happened in that time. Other days it feels like my life has always been like this.…

  • A New Chapter

    A New Chapter

    This past Friday I accepted a full-time position with Midroll Media, which is the new parent company of the Earwolf podcast network and The Mid Roll podcast advertising company. I am taking on the role of podcast evangelist and content marketer. This happened rather quickly; I didn’t expect to have a full-time job this soon…

    Tackling the Queue

    Yesterday I finally posted a piece about Part 15 unlicensed ultra-low-power radio at Radio Survivor. It’s a topic dear to my heart, and one that I covered quite a bit here back in the day. I’ve wanted to tackle it for Radio Survivor for months. I finally got kicked into writing because the New York…

  • Hello again.

    Hello again.

    Hi there, internet! It’s me, Paul. Once again life and other pursuits got the better of me, so this poor site lain dormant for the previous 28 months. Anyone who has tried to blog for more than a few years is probably familiar with the routine. You quit posting for a month, which turns into…

  • Blogs still rule

    After publishing my post on Network Awesome I received a nice “thank you” email from the site’s founder, Jason Forrest. Jason is an electronic musician who has also worked under the name “Donna Summer” and has held down an on-air shift at the legendary freeform station WFMU. He agreed to do an email interview with…

  • What I’ve Been Up To Elsewhere

    It looks like my challenge for 2010 is to see how many simultaneous writing projects I can keep up. What I’m learning so far is that the projects involving other people seem to gain my attention better than my nine-year-old blog here. Also, I enrolled in distance education certificate program that is also soaking up…

  • New Year, New Geek

    Happy New Year, one week into the decade. 2009 was a rough year for the mediageek blog. I haven’t done an official count or anything, but I reckon that this year had fewer posts than any previous. I mean, I didn’t post anything new from Oct. 4 through Dec. 28, for Pete’s sake! 2010 brings…

  • Some Great Radioshows Coming Up

    On Friday I recorded a phone interview with Jerry Del Colliano who is furiously documenting the death throes of commercial radio at his blog, Inside Music Media. However, that’s a shallow characterization of what Jerry is up to. As you’ll hear on the June 11 mediageek radioshow, Jerry has been way ahead of the curve…

  • Mediageek Radioshow Notes for April 16, 2009

    On this week’s show we led with Streetwise‘s financial troubles, listening to an excerpt of the Feb. 5 interview with Production and Marketing Director Ben Cook and Editor-in-Chief Suzanne Haney. Streetwise is receiving only about $60,000 of the typical $120,000 it gets in foundation support. We made note of a recent New York Times article…
