How cool is this.. just came across it..
On itunes, in the podcast section under TV/Film audio podcasts looks who is in the "What's Hot" section.
That rocks! way to go!
Right on!
Oh look! A proud Father podcast and two of its offspring appearing together. How charming! ;)
Seriously, that's a good testament to the hard work that all of you podcasting types put into your craft. Congratulations to all concerned.
Very nice! I've seen us pop up a few times on there. But why do I have to be next to Adam Curry? ;)
You can always be the next Leo Laporte. :)

That would be ok. Hey, did you listen to this week's TWIT? That Adam Keen guy on there was kind of a jack---. Didn't like him.
Yeah I didn't like him much either. Is that the guy who asked if the chat room ever stopped talking?
EDIT: You could also become the next Scott Johnson before you become the next Leo :)
Just checked the UK one to see if ours appears. It does....on the first page :) and the podcast above is Waffle On. The podcast to my right is Treks In Sci-Fi. Knights of the Guild is few above us all.....
Yep - and he just seemed to be there to plug his book and stir things up.
Anyway, I need to talk to Scott again about Frogpants.
And on the SAME page with Adam Curry...one of the first if not THE first Podcaster! Way to go Rico, Kenny and Jen and Angela!!
I dispute the claim that Adam Curry is the "Podfather"
And I quote:
Adam Curry is involved in the development and promotion of podcasting. He produced and presented a podcast named Daily Source Code, and was one of the first to create a successful podcast show. His latest show is called No Agenda which he cohosts with John C Dvorak. He is a prominent figure in podcasting and he was a key figure at BloggerCon 2004. Media interviewers and others often refer to Curry as "the podfather".[11]
"Every new medium needs a celebrity, and Curry is happy to fill that role," noted Annalee Newitz when she interviewed Curry for Wired.[12]
Curry founded PodShow, Inc., now Mevio, along with business partner, Ron Bloom, in January 2005. Venture capitalists Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital have invested nearly $9 million into PodShow.[13] PodShow is a podcast promotions and advertising company that encompasses the Podshow Podcast Network, the Podcast Delivery Network (launched on July 4, 2006), and the Podsafe Music Network. Some of Podshow's top podcasts are Curry's own Daily Source Code, The Dawn and Drew Show, GeekBrief.TV.[13] As of the end of 2006 PodShow's total amount of venture capital investments have risen to approximately $23m.
From June 2005 until May 2007, Curry hosted a show on Sirius Satellite Radio, entitled Adam Curry's PodShow, running from 6 to 10 p.m. EST on weekdays.[14][15] The radio show featured what he called "The Best of Podcasting".
Since around the time of Daily Source Code episode 380 (aired May 4, 2006),[16] Curry promoted Daily Source Code in Second Life under the name Adam Neumann via Curry Castle.[16] He even introduced an island called Podshow Island which was managed by Britney Mason aka Dave Peck. Podshow Island was shut down in March 2008.
Curry used podcasting in support of Ron Paul, Congressman and 2008 Republican Presidential hopeful, after officially endorsing him.[1] He currently uses the show to discuss news topics and conspiracy theories such as Free energy suppression[17] and the 9/11 Truth Movement.

Oh I don't deny he's heavily involved but I don't like it when people claim they were the first or they created something that evolved over time and was influenced by a variety of people and companies.
But someone had to have recorded and published the first podcast, right?
It's difficult to define what a podcast was at the time. Is it an audio file downloaded via an RSS feed? Is it any downloadable audio off the web?
Well, in it's most basic definition, a podcast is digital media file that's downloadable. Podcast was just one of a few names that were being toyed with for defining audio blogs, which is basically what they are. Of course, Apple's iPod is where it ultimately gets the name..."Podcasting". A lot of people began publishing these audio blogs, but Adam Curry is, by many, credited with coming up with the idea to automate the delivery of the audio blog...so, maybe calling him the "Podfather" isn't totally accurate, because he didnt' really invent the audio blog (podcast), but he did organize the delivery of them. My 2.5 cents (inflation!) :)
That is fabulous!!! It's nice to see that iTunes is reporting what we've known for years!
