“Paperback Writer” now ancient concept?

October 20, 2010

Yes, I still read books. Real books. On paper. (One more reason for my kids to label me old and decrepit…) But I’m also reading books on my iPhone. Consuming books in PDF form on my laptop. (Tried flirting with a Sony Reader back in the day – no go, for a variety of reasons.) [...]

I’ll be joined tomorrow by my friend, multimedia producer/author Michelle Anderson (known to many of you as @mediaChick on Twitter).

This week’s guest? Bobby “Fatboy” Roberts

May 31, 2010

I’m thrilled (and more than a little intimidated) to welcome Bobby Roberts to this week’s episode of Redoing Media. I know, I know — Bobby’s one of the nicest guys around, and would p’shaw my whole ‘intimidated’ schtick. But it’s true — I’m in awe at how this former broadcast terrestrial radio professional has reinvented [...]
