Interview: Delia Ephron - The Lion is In" Permalink.

I feel blessed to have such a superstar on the show for this episode. Delia has written several best selling books and extremely successful movies.

We have a great chat about her latest novel, The Lion is In, for which the entire story came to her in a dream. This is one funny and feisty lady, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and I'm sure you will enjoy this interview as well.

I interviewed Delia 2 weeks before the passing of her beloved sister Nora.

With Apple's extraction of podcasts from iTunes to a standalone app, Dave asks if its time to re-boot podcasting

Apple's appification of podcasts presents an interesting opportunity to compete with their version of discovery and subscription

Before I dig deeper into the nuts and bolts, lets look at all the moving parts that make up "podcasting".

Upon reviewing the new Apple Podcasts App, I realized that there is a huge opportunity in the discoverability of podcasts.

It was Apple's typical interface choice that made it all click in my brain.

The app wants you to discover podcasts by either browing through a 'radio dial' metaphor, a directory of pre-determined subjects, or search

Considering that a podcast is no different from a blog with a different payload, this is not the way we have learned to discover content.

If we did, then presumable there would be some huge directory of blogs with a catalog, search and some form of browsing interface with 'recommendations.

The way we *do* discover content is by looking at what our social networks are consuming. We are inundated with links and collections from our friends where we are exposed to new things and if we find itof interest, we follow, friend or subscribe to the source.

A new paradigm based on existing infrastructure

Some assumptions

Dave probably has all of this already mapped out in his head, or maybe even running on a development server for all I know, but the key here is that there is tremendous opportunity in creating a discoverable web of podcasts that is inherently social, with many future benefits, such as comparison and recommendation based on OPML subscription lists, and cross platform, open development that no single entity can own.

In closing

The one thing I have not taken into account in this overview is monetization. Frankly it has no place in the infrastrucutre and detracts from the core mission, which is discovery, subscription and sharing.

Interview: Jennifer DuBois - "A Partial History of Lost Causes" Permalink.

Jennifer's debut novel is an interesting mix of factual history and fiction.

With strong parallels to Gary Kasparov's life, it makes for a great insight into pre-glasnost Russia, world politics and a woman's search for her father's "lost cause"

Android Server Project Permalink.

I"ve been tinkering on a project I have been thinking about for a couple of weeks.

The idea involves running a small http server on the android platform.

A lot of fun and interesting work has been done in this area, including a version of apache that runs on android.

There's only one problem I'm running in to; most mobile carriers use their own (internal) sub networks for mobile connectivity. This makes creating a publicly accessible server running on Android complicated, if not impossible.

Network Adress Translation, VPN's and portforwarding are non starters for what I'm looking to do here

I'd be ok with a 'man in the middle' solution, as long as the server in the middle didn't actually have to pipe data from one peer to the other.

Lots of apps enable a peer2peer connection with the help of a central server: whatsapp, skype, iChat etc.

What is the protocol, if it exists, to establish a simple http session between firewalled peers?
