While out in California in January for Macworld 2009 I was able to use twitter to setup an interview with Revision3 podcast host Patrick Norton (twitter). It snowballed from being just Patrick Norton to also Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback (twitter), whom I had met at the Diggnation Live Show/Meetup at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, California. This is the same event in which I was recorded in Episode 186 – Live In Los Angeles! as the Palm Centro & Macbook Pro break dancing heckler. As the day came for the interview, Revision3 Producers Roger Chang (twitter) and David Prager (twitter) also joined in to be interviewed on camera for The Plan8 Podcast.
So over the next five video session podcasts The Plan8 Podcast visits Revision3.
On Todays show:
The Plan8 Podcast host, Patrick Roanhouse (Twitter), sits down with one of the many people that inspired him to make The Plan8 Podcast, Revision 3 Host and Producer, Patrick Norton. Patrick Norton tested products and wrote for PC Magazine, Computer Shopper, and InfoWorld, and managed the hardware reviews section of Windows Sources magazine. Patrick was also the co-host and managing editor of the now defunct TechTV Technology show “The Screen Savers” and Ziff Davis Media’s podcast “DL.TV”. Currently he hosts and co-hosts Revision3’s podcast properties “Systm” and “Tekzilla“.
In today’s session we talk to Patrick about:
- Evolution of media production for the web.
- Kicking it old school with tech.
- The hay days of TechTV
- Evolution of independent citizen made content.
- From the days of Public Access to YouTube.
- The tragic passing of a good friend and colleague
- The ability of being open to the public about personal demons
- Toys at CES that Patrick Norton wants
