The Merlin Show: Interview with Jonathan Coulton
Merlin Mann | Feb 26 2007
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

I agree with Joe. Any chance we can get you to do an audio only feed so I can enjoy your show without endangering my vehicle’s passengers? »

Congratulations! You seem to be #4 on iTunes “Top Podcasts” already. Which proves that (like myself) the world wants more Merlin Mann! »

Merlin, I love the video podcast. I think the quality is awesome and the two camera shoot is pretty professional. BTW, I loved you on TWIT this week. With you and Veronica, I think it was easily one of the best episodes ever. »

If this were “PRON” the money shot would be when you ask if your subject/victim uses a method of “ubiquitous capture”. We can rename this the “Index Card Shot” for our purposes..! “Oh yeah, baby, coat me with it!” Or as Anne Lamott says, “Pammy, Demi Moore”! Good work, Merlin! »

Hey Merlin, Something is up with the Hi-Res version of Episode 001 (Hello) from iTunes. It only plays for about 30 seconds, then goes blank. The file size is also mysteriously small (2.1 MB). Just a heads-up. »
