Outside of that, it doesn't hurt that Adam's background includes years in radio; he knows firsthand what works and what doesn't in order to produce an informative yet entertaining audio program. His voice is clear and engaging, and when he talks about technology his enthusiasm is evident, especially when the topic is his latest widget, iPodder (see below for more info.)

Here's an example of the content from the September 16 Daily Source Code. The DSC site currently displays audio posts listed by date, the file size and the time/length of the post. A text list of the content per post would be a terrific addition and could be helpful for those on dial-up. Something like this might work well:

Thursday, September 16 (26 mb; 38 minutes)

• RTL News
• Slashdot mention of iPodder
• Audio clip: Dave Slusher [evilgeniuschronicles.org] on Slashdot, etc.
• iPodder developer list:
  - screen scraping
  - iSpider program
  - scrapefeeds.com
  - subscribing to RSS 2.0 enclosures
  - OPML
  -publish RSS and enclosures/put into bit torrent
  -bandwidth
  -integrating bit torrent functionality
• Politics:
  -Audio clip: BBC radio documentary (Skull and Crossbones Club @ Yale University) featuring George Bush Sr., George W. Bush, Jr. and John Kerry
  -Audio clip: George W. Bush, Death and Democracy
  - URL link from mixfreaks.org - http://www.hz37land.com
• Testing: phone call using Skype software
• 'Harvest': screen shot on live.curry.com and additional information
• Song of the Day: "Never be Clever"

The idea here is that if you've downloaded a DSC and you're listening to it in your car or you're riding the subway, and you hear something you want to go back to later on, sifting through each DSC mp3 to find an item you know you heard there isn't ideal. A content list in bullet-point form would serve as a terrific addition and could be included alongside the entries that appear on the DSC site.

Another thing I want to mention: for those who don't own an external mp3 player, you don't need one to listen to the Source Code. You can listen via your laptop or desktop, and all the Source Codes produced to date are readily available for your listening pleasure on the site. (Geez, that sounded like a commercial, didn't it.)

There's always something new to learn at The Daily Source Code; it's worth listening to and it ain't boring. :-)

iPodder

Though still in development, iPodder is small program Adam created that runs on your computer. It's only purpose is to download audio files, usually mp3's directly to your mp3 device. You run it, it checks for new stuff and loads it into your iPod or other mp3 player, and all you have to do is choose what new items you want to listen to. Any device that can exchange files with WMP will work with iPodder.

ipodder development group

In addition, Adam has set up a separate group for anyone who wants to contribute their talents toward the ongoing development of iPodder. Should you want to deposit your two cents' worth, (both Mac and Windows-based geek gods,) you might want to check out the group or simply read through the threads.
