I thought it was kind of goofy when you said as a sponsor of PodCamp that you subscribed to people, but as time has gone by, it now makes complete sense to me. Subscribing to people is almost like a meta-brand. No matter what shows they are, if they're by Steve Garfield or C.C. Chapman or Chris Brogan or any of the other folks I consider friends, they're going to be good shows. The show metaphor is better than a podcast, that's for sure. At least when you say "I have a show", 70% of the population does not look confused. Steve – I always appreciate your perspective on this stuff.

My show is me and I am my show. The internet is going crazy for the 'show' metaphor right now. I can see why. It's not a bad thing. I've even replicated my vlog soup posts from my video blog into it's own show. But my video blog, Steve Garfield's Video Blog, is my show and it's me. It doesn't have a theme, or a schedule, or a production company. I make videos that are of interest to me, and it just so happens that others find them interesting some times. It's ok to have a show about nothing. Look at Seinfeld. I subscribe to people and it's ok if they talk about technology one day, what they had for dinner, or who they are voting for. I don't care if it's random. I give permission for people to make shows that are about themselves. I'm now subscribed the Christopher S Penn Show. Keep it random. So actually “Insights Into Christopher S Penn” is your new show, and that show is you.
