I know what you're asking yourself already...

"What's a podcast???"

Wikipedia tells us that "A podcast is a type of digital media consisting of an episodic series of audio files subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or streamed online to a computer or mobile device."

In plain English, it's an internet "radio" program that listener tune in to at a time of their choosing,

The Sacramento Current Podcast in particular focuses on the major local events of the past week, and invites noteworthy guests into the conversation to add their opinions and expertise. It's regular hosts are Cosmo Garvin, Patrick Kennedy, Phil Pluckebaum, and Isaac Gonzalez, each of which brings their own perspectives to the table in order to promote a provocative conversation. 

In just the latest episode, the gang welcomed Tom Negrete, Managing Editor of The Sacramento Bee, and Jared Goyette, Editor-In-Chief of the Sacramento Press on to talk about the state of local media. 

Over the previous few months, the podcast has also featured candid interviews with dozens of newsmakers, including Heather Fargo, Jonathan Rewers, Mitch Netto, Kevin McCarty, Joe Yee, Lenoard Padilla, William Burg, among many more. 

New episodes are made available every week and can be found at www.sacramentocurrent.com.

Disclosure: Isaac Gonzalez is a co-host on the Sacramento Current podcast

And you're Hitler! (Godwin's law) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law) "given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes some comparison to Hitler and the Nazis"

Note to the causal reader: Cosmo's communist comment is a joke that is referencing a point I made in the last podcast about how the comments sections of some Miami sites have a tenancy to deteriorate into accusations and arguments over communism and Castro, for obvious historical reasons.

(I actually fell for it at first, and thought "Oh no, not here...")

So will Sacramento Press adopt Godwin's Law as a terms-of-service rule--first person to mention Hitler or the Nazis in an online discussion automatically loses the argument?

Nazi Hitler would support Godwin's Law.

As an inveterate "causal" reader, I'm giddy @ the opportunity to "watch the really fun" upcoming production of Mama Kim's truckfood being consumed for a radio podcast audience...
