The '''''Daily Source Code''''' (DSC) was a [[podcast]] by [[Adam Curry]], known as the "Podfather", often considered a pioneer of podcasting.<ref name = "Wired-2005">{{cite web |url=https://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/2005/05/67525 |title=Audience with the podfather |publisher=[[Wired News]] |date=2005-05-14 |accessdate=2008-01-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/02/business/media/02SIRIUS.html |title=An MTV Host Moves to Radio, Giving Voice to Audible Blogs |publisherwork=New York Times |date=2005-05-02 |accessdate=2009-04-11 | first=Ken | last=Belson}}</ref> Curry talked about his everyday life and events in the podcasting scene or the news in general, as well as playing music from the [[Podsafe Music Network]] and promotions for other podcasts. He had regular returning segments which were mostly contributions from fellow podcasts and his daughter Christina occasionally made guest appearances. The show had more than 500,000 subscribers at its peak.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9926a5dc-ce38-11dd-8b30-000077b07658.html Message from a Podmaster] By Mike Southon December 20, 2008 in the [[Financial Times]]</ref>

==History==

Line 23 ⟶ 22:

In September 2007, the number of broadcasts slumped dramatically following a Curry family reunion in Fire Island, New York State. Far from being daily, Curry started leaving gaps of up to five days between podcasts. Ongoing problems with the Podshow network web sites, which Curry founded, were rumoured to be partly to blame.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}

The ''Daily Source Code'' was one of the shows featured by Adam Curry on [[Sirius Satellite Radio]] in his "Adam Curry's PodShow" from May 1, 2005 till the end of the contract in May 2007.<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=EditorialAsset&cid=1117220854482 |title=SIRIUS Satellite radio partnering with Adam Curry |publisher=SIRIUS Satellite Radio |accessdate=2007-03-28}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://inoveryourhead.net/sirius-and-podshow-end-their-contract/ |title=Sirius and Podshow end their contract |date=April 24, 2007 |accessdate=2007-11-21}}</ref> Since May 4, 2006 (episode 380)<ref name="mediabarondotcom-adam-curry-discovers-sl">{{cite web | url=http://www.mediabaron.com/blog/2006/05/03/adam-curry-discovers-second-life/ | title=Adam Curry discovers Second Life | publisher=MediaBaron | date=May 3, 2006 | accessdate=2006-11-28 | author=Sekiya, Baron | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061104224530/http://www.mediabaron.com/blog/2006/05/03/adam-curry-discovers-second-life/ | archive-date=November 4, 2006 | url-status=dead }}</ref> Curry has been promoting Daily Source Code in [[Second Life]] under the name "Adam Neumann" via Curry Castle.<ref name="mediabarondotcom-adam-curry-discovers-sl"/>

From episode 813 Curry trialed a semi-live format where the show was [[streaming media|streamed]] and listeners of the show could call in.

== Signatures ==

=== Signature introduction ===

The DSC's signature introduction, "...with 16 million dollars' worth of airplane strapped to my ass, and the next generation radio content in my ears, I'd like to think I'm flying into the future" started life as a comment Curry received from airline pilot [httphttps://www.threestorks.comnet/ Christopher Stork] during the podcast's early days (March 2005). Curry read it out during a show, and that recording (along with other audio clips used previously as part of the show's opening sequence) were utilized by a listener and sometime contributor to produce a show opening, which was submitted back to Adam Curry.<ref name = "Daily Source Code">{{cite web |url=http://www.dailysourcecode.com/ |title= Daily Source Code 03/25/2005 podcast |publisher=[[Podshow]] |date=2005-03-25 |accessdate=2005-03-25 |archive-date=2005-12-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051215055928/http://www.dailysourcecode.com/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Curry so loved the produced piece so much, that he made it a predominating feature of the show's opening. It became the podcast's signature introduction and was highly recognized and often mimicked on other podcasts. Although the listener/contributor that produced the piece was never actually mentioned on the show, it was the voice -over artist known as "Kevin the Announcer Guy", the imaging announcer for the early days of Jan Polet's Hit Test, a prominent feature played on the ''Daily Source Code''. Today a different opening of the show is used, since he is putting his airplane for sale.{{Citation needed|date=June 2016}}
