Adam, Dave and Madge

Seems that Madge Weinstein of Yeast Radio is not for real and is instead a performer of some sort. I heard a Madge clip on the Daily Source Code and thought it was funny/good so I made sure to listen when Adam Curry said he had got 'her' on the phone. I have to say that I bought it but at the same time I had a feeling that ‘she’ sounded disconnected or distracted in some way. I didn’t think about it again but I guess this information goes a long way to explaining that feeling. The timing of the reponses was off because it wasn't a real person answering off the top of their head. It was a person thinking about what the character would say. Adam and Dave Winer talk about the situation in this Trade Secrets Podcast podcast.
