Marc, I think you have good point, and think more people are looking to get their information where and when they want it. As for TV there really is only 1 woodworking show I still watch and that’s Roy Underhill. Even Roy’s show suffers from the TV format. You just can’t squeeze enough good information into a 20 window. I really get the vast amount of my woodworking information/entertainment from the Internet. My RSS reader is so full of sites, it’s hard to even keep up. I guess that is a good problem to have. I watch/listen to my favorite Podcasts during my commute. Luckily I ride a bus, so I have no problem watching videos :). I think video/audio programs delivered over the Internet is the wave of the future. The format allows the “host” to totally explore a topic, without the limitations of the TV format. Imagine if Tommy approached his Bombay Secretary series in the “traditional” TV format. It would have been butchered up into something not even recognizable. This New Media revolution has so many possibilities, I look forward to what is coming over the next couple of years. It should be earth shattering! |
