I can’t properly describe how I’m feeling right now, having just read that one of my newest friends John Iliff has passed away.

I’d only known John a few short months, but as a podcasting enthusiast, we had much in common. Many know him for the variety of things he has done over a celebrated career (including his role in starting PUBLIB), but I will remember John as the guy who was so excited to talk to me about podcasting, that I could barely keep up with the pace of our conversation. I wish we’d had more time to share.

My sincerest condolences go out to his family.
