Episode 53: Community Mike tries to introduce the topic of "local programming" as a topic. (Borrowed from Adam Curry's mention of same several times on Podcasting 2.0) and Tim delves into the nature of art as a communication channel. The discussion explores the role of advertising in manipulating cognitive systems and the impact of advertising on local content. They explore the concept of community formation and the challenges of maintaining authenticity in a world dominated by advertising. The idea of creating hyper-local information podcasts is proposed as a means to provide relevant and useful content to specific communities. The conversation also reflects on the evolving nature of social interactions and the influence of technology on community dynamics. Embleton - Every Corner Go Podcasting! -- Mike
