The CrapMonkey Podcast:
\n<\/strong>Don\u2019t let the name fool you, the CrapMonkey Podcast<\/a> has little to do with crap or monkeys.\u00a0 Started in March of 2005, the CrapMonkey Podcast focuses on Movies, Music, Technology, Beer, and Seattle area happenings.\u00a0 Why such an eclectic set of topics?\u00a0 Well, frankly, those are my primary areas of interest so that is what most shows end up being about (truth be told, \u201cMovies\u201d have become less and less dominate over the past year, making more room for beer and tech).
\nTaking a closer look, the CrapMonkey Podcast does have some semblance of a format.\u00a0 Minimally, each episode will contain a website of the day and a song of the day.\u00a0 The website of the day is typically something that peaks my interest due to its usefulness, timeliness, or relationship to the show\u2019s topic area, and the song of the day is usually an independent artist \u2013 often from the Seattle area.\u00a0 The Seattle theme\u00a0also manifests itself as audio recordings from area events (like brewfests, concerts, and exhibits) as well as the Restroom Review<\/em> feature now boasting over twenty Seattle area reviews.\u00a0 The reviews are embedded in episodes but also can be heard individually by clicking the \u201cRestroom Reviews\u201d link above.
\nThe CrapMonkey was born out of an interest to understand user generated media and RSS delivery a little better.\u00a0 Somewhere along the way it turned out to be pretty fun, so the program persists.\u00a0 The blog and the podcast schedule is somewhat based on the pace of my life.\u00a0 While I aim to get at least one episode delivered per week, sometimes you\u2019ll get three and other times you will go without.\u00a0 Such is life.<\/p>\n
