Name: Adam Curry

Claim To Fame: You may not remember the name, but you certainly remember Adam as one of the first video jockeys, known as vee-jays on MTV. He was on the air from 1987 to 1994.

Where Is He Now: A couple of years ago, Adam helped pioneer podcasting. In fact he's knows as 'the podfather.'

He splits his time living in England and in San Francisco.

As of June 2005, Curry hosts a show on Sirius Satellite Radio, entitled "Adam Curry's PodShow", running from 6 to 10 p.m. EST on weekdays.

That same year he started the iTunes podcast PodFinder, a guide to podcasts for new listeners. His podcasts are some of the most popular on the net.

Controversy: Some controversy was caused by four edits Curry made to Wikipedia's podcasting article during 2005, which appeared to boost his role in the creation of podcasting by removing mention of early work by others.

Adam later apologized, saying he had not understood how to use Wikipedia editing functions and had been unaware of some of the prior work done by Kevin Marks.

Dave Winer, another controversial internet celebrity, has accused him of exaggerating his contributions to podcasting and claiming to invent things he had not.

One thing is for certain, Adam continues to be innovative and is well-respected for his on-line achievements.
