Earlier, Flipboard announced a $3/month subscription (coming soon) to curate public video into a single feed. What I really want is a way to easily consolidate YouTube, feeds, newsletters, and podcasts into a single source. Unfortunately, this Flipboard subscription is a good idea, too lost in its own ego, justifying the “algorithm” over allowing indie curators and creators to build their own audiences.

The sad truth is that this could have been a reality, if RSS was treated as an important feature of the open web. Instead, modern content is all about the platform, not content.

Check out my sister podcast Go With The Heat. We just relaunched the show after going through all of the 80's goodness that was Miami Vice. The updated show is now going deeper into the greatest era of action movies, 1975 - 1995.
