Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying on Podcasting Origins

A clip from Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying's podcast features a discussion on the origins of podcasting, which Adam Curry critiques for historical inaccuracy. Curry explains the technical development of the enclosure tag in RSS with Dave Winer in 2003 as the true birth of the medium. The segment uses this as an example of the "Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect," where experts in one field provide unreliable information on subjects outside their expertise.
