Twelve years ago, in the late summer of 2004, Steven Garrity, Dan James and I started a podcast called Live from the Formosa Tea House, recorded very occasionally over lunch at the eponymous Formosa Tea House on Prince Street in Charlottetown. The primary claim to fame of the podcast was that it was among the first of the medium, following quickly on early experiments by Dave Winer and Adam Curry; the entire 6-episode, 7-year run of the podcast happened largely outside the current podcasting resurgence. 

Over the years the various MP3 files of the 6 episodes ended up scattered here and there, the victim of whatever blogging platform was in vogue at the time. I’ve spent the last couple of days consolidating all of the audio I’ve recorded over the years right here on this website, and thus, for the first time, you can listen to all 6 hours in one place. Enjoy.
