A podcast to podcast: Coverville
Posted by Scotter
(”podcast” is a noun and a verb now, right?)
Although everybody else seems to know about it, I’ve just discovered a great podcast called Coverville. Hosted by Brian Ibbott, Coverville is your place on the internet for smart and interesting theme shows featuring covers of your favorite artists by your favorite artists. I just listened to the “Leonard Cohen Cover Story II” podcast from October 25, 2007 and have uploaded onto the old iPod another five shows. Ibbott knows his stuff and has the love of an archivist, making the shows enjoyable and memorable. I’ve hypothesized the value of covers elsewhere and this show is just another example of the richness of meaning that results when creative interpretation meets appreciation.
