==History==

The first edition was published on August 13, 2004, as a live show that software developers could use as a test for their download software. Podcasting technically already existed at that time, but Adam was the first to bring together [[RSS]], [[Scripting language|scripting]], and actual audio content (in a format much like a radioshow).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://workbench.cadenhead.org/news/2818/adam-curry-caught-sticky-wiki|accessdate=2007-03-28|title=Rogers Cadenhead speaks about Adam Curry}}</ref> He has since increasingly become the voice of the active podcasting community, helping fellow podcasters and founding initiatives such as [[Podshow]] and the Podsafe Music Network. The Daily Source Code podcast is without a doubt the oldest podcast show at this time with over 800 episodes in December 2008.

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.

Line 27:

From episode 813 Curry trialed a semi-live format where the show was [[streaming media|streamed]] and listeners of the show could call in. From around episode 820 in February 2009 Curry moved his attention to producing the [[No Agenda]] podcast with [[John C. Dvorak]] and production of the Daily Source Code became much more intermittent, at most weekly.<ref>Aside: "No Agenda began simply enough, in late 2007, as an unscripted, unrehearsed and unedited dialog between MEVIO President and Co-Founder Adam Curry, and MEVIO VP John C. Dvorak." from [http://noagenda.mevio.com/ about No Agenda] On April 24, 2008, Podshow changed its name to Mevio.[http://pressroom.mevio.com/2008/04/24/podshow-changes-name-to-mevio-rolls-out-bold-new-broadband-entertainment-network/ Podshow Changes Name to Mevio, Rolls Out Bold New Broadband Entertainment Network], Mevio Press Room, April 24, 2008.</ref> Because of this production of The Daily Source Code was suspended with episode 821 on February 16, 2009. After a year of hiatus Curry rediscovered creative energy for the show and resumed The Daily Source Code with episode 822 on March 19, 2010, focusing more on music. However, it was announced in an episode of [[No Agenda]] that Curry would not be continuing production of the Daily Source Code, fearing penalties for copyright infringement.

Curry has produced another episode of The Daily Source Code in May 2012, however, and announced plans to continue the podcast. As of 2015, only two more episodes have been produced: #866 in August 2012 and #867 in November 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.curry.com/2014/01/15/theDailySourceCodeArchiveProject.html |title=The Daily Source Code Archive Project |date=2014-01-15|accessdate=2015-05-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://hotcoffee.org/na_page/Podcasts/DSCPodcasts.aspx|title=HotCoffee.org: Download Adam Curry Daily Source Code (Archives)|accessdate=2015-05-10}}</ref>.
