Noah Lamson, New Media Director at ABC Radio in Minneapolis and I grab lunch at Diamonds Coffee Shoppe. He’s publishing feeds for 92KQRS, Drive105, and 93X and we discuss the interesting relationship between broadcast radio and podcasting.
If you stop by Diamonds, try the grilled cheese with bacon & tomato. Very tasty.

On a beautiful Minneapolis summer day, Cayenne Chris Conroy from Teknikal Diffikulties and I sit down for a backyard-cast to discuss his sketch comedy podcast, creating and keeping track of characters, sound effects, radio theater, the right length for a podcast.
Sam Buchanan and I roast up a couple of batches in my garage and talk about home roasting and coffee tasting techniques.
Oh, and I celebrate Uchenna and Joyce, the winners of CBS’s Amazing Race 7.
Scott McGerik and I discuss the best and worst of Twin Cities dining. Including:
We’re tasting honey wine, or mead, with homebrewer-extraordinaire Christopher Hadden. We taste the Dry Mead from White Winter Winery and discuss mead’s history, brewing process, where you can pick some up.

Kurt Fischer, Program Manager for HourCar – Minnesota’s non-profit car sharing venture, and I sat down at Nina’s Coffee on Dale and Western in St. Paul. HourCar is planning to introduce car sharing to Minnesota in early May 2005. We talk about car sharing, who is a good candidate for car sharing, and how car sharing positively impacts a community.
If you’re in the Twin Cities, this might be the easiest way to get your hands on a 2005 Toyota Prius.
Nina’s is an excellent place, old building, great decor, very popular neighborhood hangout. Unfortunately no wireless and noisy.
