"Why New Tech Can't Leave Old Tech Behind," With guest Evo Terra

Radio201

If you look around you, many features of new technology borrow --or steal - from old technologies. Email is a classic example. It's icons and methods are leftovers from this. The envelope, and the paperclip for example. In other apps, the Floppy disc is the standard icon when it comes to saving something. In my class on Writing and Publishing, we still use notebooks, pen and paper, even though the class is computer lab.

In this podcast, my guest Evo Terra, a veteran podcaster, talks about how important it is to "grab a pen and paper" before you grab the microphone. Also, how meticulous he is about editing the content. Evo is quite a legend. A Phoenix-based writer and a podcaster, he literally wrote the book on podcasting. Podcasting for Dummies - one of the first editions. His advice to us as writers, bloggers and podcasters could be taken by anyone planning to move between platforms. "I don't re-record my audio," he says, "because I've because I spend so much time on the outline."

Maybe you might be someone who doesn't need to write things down on the back of an envelope. If you're one of those people, I'd love to hear your story. You might be a guest on this show!
