the radio show & podcast about what's going on Online in burlington and vermont
My guests on ‘the browser’ this week are Kali Hilke and Edward Shepard, Marketing & Design Managers for local Apple superstar Small Dog Electronics. If you’re into electronics, Apple products, or are curious about what a “Marketing & Design Manager” does at one of the coolest local outfits, tune in or logon.
Tonight, Wednesday November 4 at 6pm on Burlington’s public access station 105.9fm TheRadiator.org.
Allow me to deflate your anticipation: this program is not about the questions regarding Burlington Telecom’s financing. While I think that’s a legitimate topic of discussion, it’s not the angle of this show.
Rather, this is more of a BTV Telecom 101. Chris Burns gives me the tour of the facility, explains how it all flows and how it all works, and answers a few questions about connectivity in Burlington & VT. If you’re familiar with the inner workings of a telecom, it’s probably all stuff you’ve heard before. If you have no idea where the internet comes from or how your favorite cable shows get to your TV, it’s worth a listen.
Warning: it gets technical at points as Chris explains the operation using the necessary vocabulary and lingo of the trade. I’m sure you can hear me cluelessly nodding at times, so even if you don’t know all the terms, just listen and you’ll get the gist.
Also, a few necessary disclaimers:
Burlington Telecom is a sponsor of The Radiator. There’s no secret there: I read their underwriting spot every show.
Chris Burns, my guest this week, was totally open to chatting. He didn’t try to restrict the conversation in anyway. I didn’t ask about the news of the week because, again, it’s just not what I wanted to talk about, and there are many smart professionals covering that story. This is a show about what’s online, and I wanted to talk about the plumbing that is the internet.
Why meet with BTV-T and not with Comcast or FairPoint? No reason. I’d love to meet with them, too. If you’re from either of those orgs, or if you have any suggestions for guests or topics for the show, contact me: my gmail and Twitter are both JonathanPB.
It’s overly technical! It’s not newsworthy! It’s dry! It’s the browser! Wednesday at 6pm on 105.9fm on The Radiator.org, Burlington Vermont’s community access radio station.
My guest tonight was Cathy Resmer of 7 Days, joining me to preview the upcoming Vermont 3.0 Innovation Jam.
In 8 days On Monday 10/26 the Vermont 3.0 Innovation Jam takes place in Burlington, Vt., BTV. It’s the latest in the Vermont 3.0 series but this time the emphasis is on innovation and networking, rather than career-fairing.
My guests this week on the browser are Cathy Resmer of 7 Days and Cari Kelley of the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce. They’re stopping by the studio for a live chat about the Innovation Jam – what it’s about, what to expect, how to participate. You get the idea.
Are you going to the Jam? Are you going to speak or to represent an organization? If so, come on by The Radiator and promote your group. You can tell us why you’re going to be there and get the word out to folks who might be interested in meeting you. If you’re one of these Vermont 3.0 presenters or exhibitors, stop by the studio Wednesday from 6pm to 7pm and join us on the browser. If you plan on stopping by, let me know on Twitter or gmail (it’s the same as my Twitter handle).
The Vermont 3.0 Innovation Jam happens at the Sheraton from 10a to 6p on Monday 10/26 and admission is FREE. The browser happens Wednesday at 6pm on 105.9fm in BTV and online at TheRadiator.org.
Tonight on the browser, a rebroadcast of my interview with local thinker/speaker/writer on gender, culture, and consumer behavior Andrea Learned. You may know Andrea from her frequent Tweeting, blogging, or VPR commentaries.
Listen at 6pm on 105.9fm in Burlington, VT or stream online at TheRadiator.org.
My guest on the browser is Burlington Free Press Web Developer David Farré. But don’t tune in expecting two local media web guys to talk web stuff. Not this time, anyway. Instead, David’s going to stop by the studio and spin some jazz.
Maybe next time he pops by we’ll talk about the changes in the media landscape, specifically as it relates to the internet, blah blah blah. But tonight, we’re more likely to let Ella, Coltrane, or Miles do the talking.
Jazz, tonight on the browser. 6pm on 105.9fm in Burlington VT or streaming online at TheRadiator.org.
Episode 27 :: Professor Ann DeMarle, the Director of Champlain College’s Emergent Media Center.
Episode 26 :: Joe Mescher (aka the Social Media Commando).
Episode 25 :: Bob Bolyard of the House of LeMay.
Episode 24 :: Jonathan Wilson and Nick Szumowski of local agency Brandthropology.
Episode 23 :: Jonah Schulte of Vermont Live Music. This podcast just contains the conversation with Jonah: to hear the music we talk about, and everything Jonah’s recording, visit VermontLiveMusic.com.
My apologies in advance because some of the audio for the live programs is admittedly not that great. I’ve made some upgrades to my audio tools so hopefully the next live show will sound a lot better when it’s podcast.
Thanks for listening. Jonathan

Update:
Tonight on the browser Joe Mescher, the self-described Social Media Commando, stops by for a live chat. He’ll give us an update on the Video Resume Project and from there I’m sure the conversation will dovetail into all things social media.
