While Slushpile is busy noting any and all Jay McInerney developments, it should be noted that McInerney, perhaps taking a cue from Cory Doctorow, might be the first big author to exploit podcasting beyond mere chapter excerpts. McInerney has been providing excerpts from his readings, and it looks like he’ll be offering other goodies far beyond this. There are only two podcasts so far. But if this is representative of what authors plan to do with the form, I hope we’ll see more of it.
