It’s Thursday for one more minute, so here’s a TBT to the last lies.com podcast, Inaudible Man. (If the above audio link doesn’t work you can try downloading or streaming it from here.)
Between May 2005 and July 2009 I recorded 30 podcasts, posting them to my lies.com blog. It was a goofy experiment. The first 20 were mostly just stream-of-consciousness rambling. You probably shouldn’t bother listening to them.
Starting with #21, though, I did something different. Hardly anyone was listening anyway, and I was interested in the idea of remix culture and giving works new context, so I started doing that: remixing other people’s work, repackaging bits from other podcasts and radio shows (TAL was a favorite) and music. I scrupulously credited everything I used, but I’m guessing that at least some of the rights-holders involved would have viewed it as a horrible transgression, except that, again, nobody was listening, so I was able to just do my thing.
It was fun. Those last 10 podcasts are some of my favorite things I’ve ever put online, even if they weren’t quite legal, or even mine, technically. This is the last one I did, covering election day 2008 and the new president’s first press conference.
