Semàntic Podcast
I haven’t been particularly active recently, I’m actually preparing myself for the last exams I (might) ever do in my university. Tough stuff! Nonetheless, I’ll be back on (working, learning and posting) next month! In the meantime, I’d like to present the new podcast in which I happen to participate. It is called Semàntic. Unfortunately for the English reader, it’s only in Catalan (my native language) and can be found in http://semantic.cat.
I had the idea of creating this podcast after being repeatedly disappointed by the little choice of podcasting we have in Catalunya. I’m kind of addicted to many American and British podcasts and I always thought I’d like to have some of those in my own language… so what the hell, I talked with some colleagues, Jordi and Masumi, and they (surprisingly) found the idea interesting, so that’s how Semàntic was born, in our uni’s bar. We’ve only recorded 4 episodes but it has already shown some success. People in and out of our university is subscribed and follows our episodes. We got our feet wet quite unprofessionally, but we’re improving over time, and we hope to do a lot more!
Of course, we have a Rails3 website, a Sinatra Wiki (ingeniously built by Jordi), we coordinate ourselves through Talker and record with the help of some Samson unexpensive condenser microphones. So if you’re interested in technology and computer science, and you understand Catalan of course, don’t hesitate to subscribe to Semàntic Podcast!
