Bad Hair Day at 7PM
Thursday, September 10, 2009 by Dave Winer.
We're having a special Bad Hair Day podcast which is a mini-reprise of last night's meetup in Berkeley. 
Marshall is off tonight. I'll have two guests -- Doug Kaye of spokenword.org and Joseph Scott of Automattic.
Doug is working on a podcast aggregator that supports rssCloud.
Doug also founded IT Conversations that was a focal point in the podcasting bootstrap at the beginning of the decade. The Gillmor Gang got its start on Doug's network; we were inspired by his work.
Joseph developed the plugin for Wordpress that shipped at the beginning of the week. I haven't known Joseph a very long time, but we've already had a spectacular success, imho. 
We'll talk about many of the things that were discussed at last night's meetup.
And for this podcast we'll have an IRC chatroom:
