Scoble and Malik's first podcasts

With the news today that Om Malik, senior journalist at Business 2.0, is "doing a Scoble" and leaving his day job to do a web startup (but in his case it's his own), it reminded me that both of these guys experienced their first podcast as guests on G'Day World! In fact, as they appeared on our site, the Scoble interview followed immediately after the Malik interview. Both appeared in January 2005 but we did them in December 2004. If we keep going back, the interview we did before Malik was Doc Searls, so I make a prediction that news will soon hit the blogosphere that Doc has also quit his day job...

Here's links to both:

Heh.

Pretty long odds on that bet, Cameron.

Couple of reasons.

First, Linux Journal is family. Literally.

Second, I'm too old to go to a start up. Also too geographically undesirable. Santa Barbara is the Cairns of California. Nice place to live in, and to visit, but not a center of commercial activity. From time to time I get recruited by a Silicon Valley start-up, but when I make it clear that I'm not going to move back to Silicon Valley, the interest wanes.

Also, I have a good enough life. I work as hard as I ever did, but I'm out of the rat races. Probably means I'll never be rich. But I'll probably stay happy.

Doc has a day job? I thought he just blogged, edited a few articles and attended conferences ;-)

Interesting to see your speculation Cam, but more importantly more interesting to see Doc responding. Hope all is well Doc.
