An Aside : How I became the worlds 1st Podcaster

How I became the world's 1st Podcaster 

This story will be part of my published Memoir. I've reached the tender age of 50, so it's time to start documenting parts of what I have done in my lifetime. No idea if this will get published in a book, but for now it lives here as a living story that will get added to, over time. So stay tuned.

So.. How Did I Became The World's 1st Podcaster ?

The story will be amazing and insightful, and yes along the way will include links to that very podcast. It's a music documentary by the way that started out as a book and then a series of short items broadcast on radio in England, and then I went and interned at Apple... and a few years later, up pops this music documentary mp3 file and some text and a way to download it.

 Okay, so what is/was - Straight Outa Bristol ? it was a book by author and journalist Phil Johnson from Bristol, England. And in the book he discusses how that now famous "bristol sound" developed.

Title Straight Outa Bristol: Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and the Roots of Trip-hop

Author Phil Johnson
ISBN: 9780340675212
Publisher: Sceptre
Pub date: 15 May 1997

Bristol has erupted from pop silence to emerge as the most vibrant and innovative music scene in Britain. This is the definitive account of the Bristol sound and the rise of resident stars Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky.

 Alas the book is now out of print, but it's also hard to find so dig deep in bookstores and ask around as it's a great book to read about the insights into Bristol music scene of the 1990's.

However.. right now there's a online version to read, and you can find it on Archive.org , here's a link : https://archive.org/details/straightoutabris0000john
