We all know that the venerable Adam Curry is mostly pegged (rightly or wrongly) in the global public concsiousness as being the pro-janitor of Podcasting. Now there's a spat about Adam Curry editing Wikipedia and removing traces of Kevin Marks' involvement from the Podcasting prehistory. But as any fully paid-up early adopter should well know, I am the real father of Podcasting. Although, strictly speaking, not actually Podcasting.
For in March 2003 -- yonks before Podcasting was first uttered forth -- I hooked up my iPAQ (not iPod) to the web via my bluetooth mobile phone connection and pumped the resulting streaming radio through my car stereo for fun. Indeed, Kevin Marks showed up in the comment thread of that post suggesting that portable-web-radio-philes could dump their programmes down to their iPods as an alternative to this. I'm sure I inspired them all, as off beam as I happened to be with my rag-bag assemblage of tech, even if I was only off by a couple of degrees.
Please feel free to pay homage. Me, I'm off to prepend in CAPS my goddam contribution to the Wikipedia Podcasting page. Heh.
