Podcast Library, Vol 1

By Jim Vandiver

A retirement hobby of listening to podcasts grew to this published collection of over 17,000 descriptions of the most interesting topics out of more than 70,000, arranged alphabetically, with download links for individual files and collections. I aggregate podcasts and make a weekly collection available in a blog called Media Mining Digest. It's the result of a listening hobby that started over a decade ago, plus the discovery that useful podcasts are increasing, and the lack of a good place on the web where they're available, despite what you find on iTunes. Over a thousand new entries are added each year. These are a modern version of the old library file cabinet full of organized pamphlets, leaflets and miscellaneous useful bits of information that don't fit on book shelves and magazine racks. Free cloud storage and blogging support allow production of the blog and this encyclopedia with on-hand equipment and software. Time and labor are the biggest cost. It's a productive retirement project and related to work as a military investigator. Some seventeen thousand twitter followers receive a tweet when each blog episode is posted. The effort will continue as long as the collector is able, and free storage exists.

I'm a retired Army investigator who later worked at a nuclear power plant for 13 yrs and now tend the garden and yard, listen to 100's of podcasts weekly, put the best ones in a blog (Media Mining Digest), exercise the dog, visit antique shops with my wife and try to keep our old country house in shape. I'm a technology nerd, so pursued that in the investigative field and with the podcasts, as well as many of the books from such places as PaperBackSwap. I like technical subjects and have drifted more into the biotech area of late because so many interesting things happen to us as we age.

14th Amendment 52 mins - John Bingham was one of the most influential but least known visionaries of the post-Civil War Constitution. Dubbed the James Madison of the 14th Amendment by Justice Hugo Black, Bingham drafted a constitutional provision that changed the course of American history by ensuring that states were duty-bound to uphold their citizens’ constitutional rights. A moderate Republican and dedicated supporter of abolition before the Civil War, Bingham spearheaded the Reconstruction-era efforts to guarantee citizenship to all people born in the United States, regardless of race, and to extend the Constitution’s promise of equality to all American citizens.

3D Print Ecosystems 39 mins - Today, I’ve got a really interesting conversation to share with you that I had recently with Arden Rosenblatt of PieceMaker.com. This is a company that has really dealt with how to bring 3D printing to mass market retail. They’ve dealt with all of the systems involved in that. It’s really fascinating. I’ve often talked with a lot of different people that are working on different pieces of the puzzle. This is a company that really has had to create an end-to-end solution, dealing with content to how would people interface and interact with it then actually having it printed right there for them at a physical location in a museum gift shop or retail store. They’ve also gone on to do other kinds of solutions, a little more business to business, but it’s really all centered around the same thing. How to help companies, especially big brands, take advantage of the opportunities that additive manufacturing, in particular 3D printing, offers. I hope you really will enjoy it.

3D Print Education 49 mins - Having a physical model to hold in your hands is powerful to a student learning engineering and design. But when Brian Bobbitt started integrating 3D print education to the curriculum, there weren’t many resources. With the help of Project Lead The Way, exposure to design and production got easier. Getting a foundational education in CAD at the high school level translated to better skilled transitioning college students later. Brian Bobbit shares how educating the students early can cast away stereotypes and get their interest level high early. At the link right-click Download and select Save Link As from the pop-up menu.

3D Print Hacking 32 mins - We are going to talk about hacking and making today. It’s hacking in a general sense. It’s a definition.

Anil Pattni who I got to meet at the FREECon, the Freelance Conference in Austin, Texas which we went to. It was so interesting to meet him. It was ironic because he started doing some of the first OC Maker Faire stuff here in Orange County, California and yet we met him in Austin, Texas which is where he is now. It was like, How did we not meet you before? that kind of thing. He’s been running a lot of Meetups. He did 200 Meetups.

3D Printed Drugs 4 mins - 3D-printing is set to revolutionise the way we do chemistry, and could lead to pharmacies printing out our drugs when we need them, or even home printed prescriptions. Lee Cronin is the Regius Professor of Chemistry at Glasgow University… Lee - I wanted to see if we could take a cheap robot, a bit like a 3D printer, and use it to automate chemistry. So, one of the problems we're having in chemistry is that only certain cooks can make certain recipes and get certain tastes, and what we wanted to do is make all recipes and all tastes available to everyone. By using a 3D printer which is really cheap and becoming very available, we could use a 3D printer in two different ways. First way, is that we use it to print a plastic object or material objects, in this case, like a test tube in which you do your chemistry. Then the 3D printer switches function and turns from test tube printing to actually moving liquids around a bit like an automatic cocktail maker in which you would add the chemicals into the test tube it's just made to allow the chemical reaction to go. And because a 3D printer would know which order to add to the chemicals, it would be very precise and allow us to replicate our chemistry recipe and allow the thing to work in many different places and situations….

He has spent his lifetime owning and operating successful businesses in the industries of electrical, energy efficiency, and LED lighting. Steve recognizes that 3D-printed end-use products, not just prototyping, are here to stay, and it’s a very big market in and of itself. Very recently, the US government is charging product importers a tariff of 10% percent, increasing to 25% at the beginning of next year. The vast majority of products purchased in the United States being imported, Steve knows importation may just not be cost effective anymore.

3D Printing for the Blind 18mins - Caroline Karbowski is a senior in high school with a passion for 3D imaging that led her to a 2nd place finish in the Tech Olympics. Her project is called See3D, which creates 3D images for the blind to feel and understand more clearly the shape and construct of something they never could have conceived without the added information the 3D image offered. Caroline somehow had a passion for Braille and taught herself so she could read in the car without getting dizzy, and later she came up with See3D and although this may seem like a natural progression, Caroline is not Blind, nor visually impaired. Caroline has pursued her passion and is now taking SEE3D to another level and bringing more opportunities for others to get involved in the See3D project. And you can too!

3D Printing Insider Viewpoint 45 mins - We had a listener communicate with us over Facebook recently and leave what was the longest comment we’ve ever had to a post. It wasn’t just the longest, it was the most detailed and informational I’ve ever read on Facebook. This was in response to our recent episode sometime last month about 3D printed surface textures. Her name is Jen Davis-Wilson, , who we actually realized we have a lot in common with once we talked to her. Our paths have crossed maybe in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, somewhere in there. She used to work for IDEO. We did this episode on 3D printed surface textures. She is a mechanical engineer who is a big SOLIDWORKS user. While we’ve certainly reviewed SOLIDWORKS CAD software among many others, we don’t have the in-depth experience that a real user does who uses it day in and day out and has way more than 10,000 hours on it. She’s been using it since mid 2000s. For the benefit of our audience, you may not have seen it yet because it’s only in this Facebook thread, but we’re actually putting her comment also in the bottom of the blog post for that WTFFF episode on 3D printed surface texture . The interview, you’re really going to enjoy it because there is a part of it where she talks about the early stages of rapid prototyping before desktop came out. You really get an insider’s view of it and then she uses desktop 3D printing now in her independent practice. You really get a good perspective and picture on this.
