# The Semantic Web Gang
A couple of weeks ago we recorded the first episode of a new podcast series. The Semantic Web Gang is a panel of Semantic Web experts, organised and consisting of:
- Greg Boutin
- Mills Davis
- Tom Heath
- Alex Iskold
- Daniel Lewis (me)
- Thomas Tague
- Paul Miller
It was really good to star on the show, although I had a lot of microphone problems (anyone got any good advice on a USB headset that works on Macs?). At first I wasn’t sure that I was ready for such a series, as it seemed (a) too high level, (b) that I didn’t have enough experience. But then I thought against that because (a) it is turning out to be a discussion format with broad topics, and (b) I’ve been researching, developing, using and promoting Semantic Web technologies since late 2005!!!
The idea of the show is not to talk about the products/projects of the companies that we specifically work for, but to talk about the Semantic Web in a broad way and to show that the whole idea of the Semantic Web is to work together in an interconnected fashion. We have started to plan the forthcoming podcasts, and have got rough topics already (my suggestions, so expect some interesting discussions, and possibly some arguments!).
