Tonight on /the_browser… music. Either from the Vermont Music Library OR, if my little brother gets to town in time, we’ll hang in the studio and spin discs and, er, mp3s.
We’ll be back after Thanksgiving with new programs.
Happy Thanksgiving
Part 1 of my interview with Chip Hart of PCC.com aired last week. Part 2 airs tonight.
Listen on 105.9fm WOMM-LP The Radiator in Burlington, Vermont.
My guest on the browser tonight is Chip Hart of the Physicians Computer Company.
This is our first ever 2-part interview: part 1 airs tonight 11/11 at 6pm, part 2 airs next Weds 11/18 at 6pm. Basically, we just kept chatting, so I kept recording, and I didn’t really want to leave any of it on the editing room floor, as they say.
It’s another wide-ranging interview, with lots of talk about what is PCC, the risks of personal data security online (a big issue for medical records), PCC’s profile as an innovative offbeat company, and the future possibilities for the software development industry in the state of Vermont. And more, of course.
Part 1 tonight, part 2 next week, on the browser on TheRadiator.org.
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.
UPDATED:
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.
