G’Day World “On The Pod” #45 – Jason Miller
Posted on 22. Aug, 2005 by Cameron Reilly in Podcast
Jason S. Miller is a 38 y.o. American activist from Kansas who has been writing articles and blog posts articulating his concerns over the current American administration. We talk a lot about America’s current push for PAX AMERICANA and, in particular, the objectives of Rumsfeld/Cheney-lead “think tank” Project for the New American Century.
Jason’s blog: Thomas Paine’s Corner
Blueprint for American Imperialism: Project for the New American Century. Of particular interest, is this quote from Page 63 of the PNAC document “Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources For a New Century“:
“Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor”.
This document was written in September 2000, 12 months before America got a new Pearl Harbour in the form of 9/11.
Jason’s activist essays have appeared on over 100 Websites, the distribution of his newsletter is now over 1500, and he has had 24,000 hits on his blog since May of 2005.
Some stats Jason provided in his recent newsletter:
Cost of the Empire’s Quest for Global Domination (and other stats):
American military deaths: 1,852 (since the occupation began on 3/19/03)
Americans Wounded in the Invasion and Occupation: 13,877
Iraqi Civilian Deaths: 23,000 to 25,000 (despite the propaganda to the contrary, they count as human beings too)
Monetary Cost of War: $188 billion and counting
National Debt: $7.9 trillion and counting (thanks to China and Japan for floating the Neocons the cash to carry out their perverse version of the American Dream)

Looping and Scratching
Posted on 12. Aug, 2005 by Cameron Reilly in General
You guys think that looping and scratching on the recent shows is a bug?! Hell, it took me AGES to learn how to do that. I had to listen to The Mixtape Show over and over to get it right! That’s called hip-hop podcasting baby! And I invented it!
G’Day World “On The Pod” #44 – Jeremy Hague (SKYLOOK)
Posted on 09. Aug, 2005 by Cameron Reilly in Podcast
Jeremy Hague and Paul Andrews are the Melbourne guys behind SKYLOOK, a new Outlook toolbar for Skype which they launched to the world a week ago. I think it’s pretty cool because, among other things, it automatically records Skype calls. Handy for a podcaster!
Make sure you listen to the show because there is a free give-away!
G’Day World “On The Pod” #43 – Todd Cochrane
Posted on 05. Aug, 2005 by Cameron Reilly in Podcast
One of the guys who is kicking major ass in the podcasting world is Todd Cochrane. Not only does Todd run the very popular GEEK NEWS CENTRAL podcast, but he also is the main dude behind the TECHPODCASTS directory. He lives in Hawaii with his family and is a busy guy. I thought that the 12 month anniversary of podcasting would be a good time to pull together some of the guys who are trying to build a business out of it (eg Todd, Adam Curry and Evan Williams) onto the show so we could all talk about where we think it is and where it’s going. Todd was the only guy who replied to the email and so… he’s on the show!
Someone asked if this was “sleeping with the enemy” and I really don’t think of guys like Todd as “the enemy”. Competition? Sure. But I wish him and his crew nothing but success. A rising tide carries all ships. Podcasting is going to be big and there will be room for all of us to have some fun and make a few bucks.
This is also the first show I recorded using the new SKYLOOK tool. I recommend you check it out. It’s an OUTLOOK toolbar that manages Skype and records Skype calls. Check it out.
Hope you like the show.
