The Podcasts

11 Aug 2008: It's our tenth episode! Sorry we waited so long before this one. Dan and Mark hang out at Mark's house after dining on some Dinosaur Bar-B-Que leftovers and talk about Moloka'i Coffee from Hawaii, Senseo pod coffee makers and Timothy's better pods, so-so work coffee, Community Coffee's New Orleans blend, the Queen of Tarts and Gimme!, hotel coffee some more, and "ghetto lattes." [Listen Now]


26 Sep 2006: Dan and Mark talk about the difference between cappuccinos and lattes, hotel coffee, the supposed benefits of green tea, and the idea of including a coffee stand in Apple Stores. [Listen Now]


24 Aug 2006: Mark's just been to San Francisco, and takes the opportunity at Dan's urging to record his very own Caffeineland podcast to talk about coffee in the City by the Bay. It's got intrigue, mystery, and even a fair amount of caffeine! And if you think the caffeine had something to do with Mark's jet lag upon his return, you may well be right. [Listen Now]


1 May 2006: It's been a year! We're sorry we kept you waiting so long, and we hope in the meantime you've been listening to the Florn.net Podcast, where Dan's been spending most of his podcasting time. This May Day, Dan and Mark get together by the Gimme! Coffee truck on campus to talk about the local coffee scene and the recent arrival of Starbucks Coffee in Ithaca. [Listen Now]


10 April 2005: Mark and Dan talk about absinthe, New Orleans, Marrus's artwork, brunch and coffee, hollandaise sauce, "Sin City," Christopher Eccleston as the new "Doctor Who," and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." [Listen Now]


17 March 2005: Mark and Dan talk about St. Patrick's Day and Dragon Day, wearing green, drinking Guinness, and eating corned beef and cabbage. [Listen Now]


23 February 2005: Mark and Dan meet at Bistro Q in their final days, to podcast before a group dinner. They talk about local eateries, mojitos, tea, and more. [Listen Now]

27 January 2005: Mark and Dan get back to the root of "Caffeineland" and talk about that most wondrous of caffeine-bearing substances, coffee, in its various forms. Talk of Brazilian Yellow Bourbon coffee leads on a tangent about Knob Creek and Maker's Mark bourbons. [Listen Now]


17 January 2005: Dan, the information security specialist, extends a solo plea to our listeners to practice good password, and to obey a few tips about safe computing. [Listen Now]

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a Podcast? Think of a podcast as a syndicated radio show for which you don't need a radio, and you don't need to tune in at any particular time. Podcasting is a way of sharing sound files that lets you retrieve them automatically whenever there's a new "episode" available. Whenever we release a new podcast, it'll show up on your iPod or iTunes or similar audio player or computer program, ready for you to listen at your convenience. Read more about podcasting and find more at www.ipodder.org.

What software do I need? These days, the free iTunes software (available for Mac OS or Windows) is all you need. If you don't wish to use iTunes, we suggest iPodder as a good starting point. That, combined with any MP3-playing software or gizmo, should stand you in good stead. Whatever program you end up using, tell it to keep an eye on http://www.caffeineland.com/thepod.xml and you'll be in good shape.

Who are Dan and Mark? Daniel Adinolfi and Mark H. Anbinder are a pair of geeks who live in Ithaca, New York. They both attended Cornell University and, after a while, each ended up working for Cornell. They have lots of interests in common, and each has an almost preternatural fascination with coffee.

What's that snazzy music? Our theme music is the song "Personal Pope" from the album "Stripped Down Notions" by Alan Rose. Our thanks to Alan for letting us use his music! You should buy his CDs. We did.
