The Merlin Show: Interview with Jonathan Coulton

002: Interview: Jonathan Coulton | The Merlin Show
My new video podcast launches today with an interview I recently did with Jonathan Coulton. JoCo is an internet troubadour and former developer who may be best known for wonderful songs like "Code Monkey" and "Skullcrusher Mountain," although he also has gigs podcasting for Popular Science as well as playing guitar for his best friend (and sworn nemesis) John Hodgman. We talk about life as an independent artist, including how Jonathan captures ideas and may or may not be similar to Michael Jackson. We'll have a new episode of The Merlin Show every morning this week, then slide into an (approximately) once-a-week schedule for new episodes. Please consider subscribing via iTunes or Democracy, or just point the "podcatacher" of your choice at http://feeds.themerlinshow.com/TheMerlinShow 32 Comments

 Hey Merlin, Loved the new show....Submitted by Diana (not verified) on February 27, 2007 - 8:29am.
Hey Merlin, Loved the new show. Like Ryan said above the high quality episode 001 craps out at around 30 seconds. I downloaded the episodes at work first and watched on my lunch. Then went home and downloaded there to share with my husband. I really wanted to share with him the Jonathan Coulton interview because it was like listening to my husband, minus actually quitting his job to do music. It was great for him to hear from another musician who took the plunge and left the security of a "typical" job. I hope watching that will help give him the confidence to move forward. Looking forward future episodes :) » POSTED IN:
