Week 2 answer
January 21st, 2007 by Amyloo
Jason Calacanis brings most of the Gillmor Gang together in CalacanisCast Beta 9.
In case you had trouble with his quick wordsrunningtogetherBrooklyn delivery, the clue clip said, “… has nothing to with the show, except that he’s the executive producer.”
He’s talking about Steve Gillmor, who had threatened that each of the last four or five Gillmor Gang podcasts would be the last, and finally left off putting them out near the end of November.
The Gillmor Gang page on the Podshow site now redirects to the old show page on IT Conversations, where the roundtable podcast began. I don’t know if that’s a sign that he’s getting the band back together, but it must mean the connection with Podshow has been severed.
I’ll listen to the gang wherever it touches down, temporarily or permanently, and I hope Steve comes along in a role that lets us hear him.
So, did you know it was Jason? Do you think the redirect has any significance?
I forgot I was going to try to explain the quote, “Steve Gillmor has nothing to do with the show, except that he’s the executive producer.” Somebody correct me if I have it wrong:
Jason (like Steve in a little different way) likes to get controversies brewing by prevaricating for sport. I suppose it is kind of cute. It’s something like teasing.
He was going for one of these earlier in the show by pretending that he’d chosen friendship with the gang over friendship with Steve, and it might have worked, but somebody pointed out that Steve was producing the CalacanisCast and spoiled the fun. Jason said something at that point about how Steve had nothing to do with the show but was its exec producer, and later, when Doc Searls showed up asking about Steve, Jason repeated the self-contradicting quip.
Gillmor’s doing a show called “Bad Sinatra” at Podtech?

That’s why I get from this. What else could it mean?
I like Feldman. He’s such a force.
