Podcatch: Dave Winer couldn’t find anything to listen to. He wanted a podcast, but didn’t want to commit to subscribing- he just wanted to listen, he said. So he enacted an experiment. “Standing on the street in Manhattan, with my iPhone 6 and a good net connection, how long would it take me to find something to listen to. In other words, how long after having the idea ‘I want a podcast’ did it take to fulfill it. Standing out there in the cold, feeling like an idiot, fussing with my phone- How long? A lot longer than it should. As Apple says about their products, it has magic. It’s simple, it’s probably not what you expect, but it really works. When I go there, I find new ideas, feelings, perspectives, entertainment. That’s Podcatch.com. And now it’s public. You can use it too!”
