In January 2014, Adam Curry sent a quick tweet out to his 40,000-plus followers with a modest request: \u201cLooking for a full archive of \u2018Daily Source Code\u2019 mp3s.\u201d Not just your average media user looking for bootlegged files, Adam Curry was one of podcasting\u2019s first breakout stars in the early 2000s. He was trying to track down one of the first widely popular podcasts, the \u201cDaily Source Code.\u201d But his request was certainly odd; after all Curry was actually the host and producer of the \u201cDaily Source Code,\u201d which ran from 2004 to 2013 (over 860 episodes!).<\/p>\n

As Curry lamented on his website: \u201cFor a number of [stupid and careless] reasons, I am not in posession of most of these.\u201d [sic]<\/p>\n

For those familiar with radio history, this story is probably less surprising. Much of radio\u2019s history has been lost to vagaries of time, be it through the willful ignorance of companies looking to \u201cpreserve\u201d only that which could be \u201cmonetized,\u201d or the unintentional negligence of hosts, producers and engineers without the foresight, budgets or means to realize that the radio they were making and broadcasting would shape culture for decades to come \u2014 culture that media historians, scholars and hobbyists would later want to analyze, research, teach and reference.[…]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you–as Richard knows, podcasting is the distribution method behind our Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a>. It’s an ideal platform for delivery of recorded broadcasts–listeners subscribe and then maintain their own local copy of the entire archive. Podcasting applications can insure that any new episodes are downloaded automatically.<\/p>\n

This year, I will represent the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive at the Radio Preservation Task Force meeting <\/a>at the Library of Congress. I very much look forward to the event and meeting others in the radio archives world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
