The Daily Source Code (DSC) is a podcast by Adam Curry, often considered one of the founders of podcasting. Curry talks about his everyday life and events in the podcasting scene or the news in general, as well as playing music from the Podsafe Music Network and promotions for other podcasts. He has regular returning segments which are mostly contributions from fellow podcasters and his wife Patricia Paay and his daughter Christina occasionally make guest appearances.
History
The first edition was published on August 13, 2004, as a live show that software developers could use as a test for their download software. Podcasting technically already existed at that time, but Adam was the first to bring together RSS, scripting, and actual audio content (in a format much like a radioshow).[1] He has since increasingly become the voice of the active podcasting community, helping fellow podcasters and founding initiatives such as Podshow and the Podsafe Music Network. The Daily Source Code podcast is without a doubt the oldest podcast show at this time with over 600 episodes in May 2007. In September 2007, the number of broadcasts slumped dramatically following a Curry family reunion in Fire Island, New York State. Far from being 'daily', Curry started leaving gaps of up to 5 days between podcasts. Ongoing problems with the Podshow network web sites, which Curry founded, were rumoured to be partly to blame. The Daily Source Code was one of the shows featured by Adam Curry on Sirius Satellite Radio in his "Adam Curry's PodShow" from May 1, 2005 till the end of the contract in May 2007.[2][3] Since May 4, 2006 (episode 380)[4] Curry has been promoting Daily Source Code in Second Life under the name "Adam Neumann" via Curry Castle.[4]
