For anyone who listens to Podshow podcasts, like Accident Hash, In Over Your Head, the ReMARKable Palate, and others, and is tired of hearing the 59 second pre-roll ad for their Suck Less campaign, I just posted directions for skipping right past it or any other pre-roll ad using iTunes on a Mac. No idea how to do this on Windows – if you know, post it in the comments at Marketing Over Coffee!
How To Suck Much Less
by Christopher S Penn | May 30, 2007 | Podcasting | 8 comments
Mark Blevis and Andrea from Just One More Book just tagged me in the new 8 things meme, and I tag you in return.
Here are the rules:
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged.
My list is on the LD podcast blog at http://gnmnetworks.com/ldp.
Hope the planning for PodCamp Europe is going well!

Nice app – thank you for sharing it…
I took the alternate radical approach – I just started unsubscribing from shows…

I realize that beauty and art are in the eye of the beholder. I lost interest in Podshow almost as soon as they began. That being said, their poor taste is not surprising since Adam Curry one of their head honchos has told his wife to “come sit on his face” while the recorder is running.I’m not a prude, but TMI-sorry.
To cut to the chase-I don’t know if they can suck less when it’s in their DNA. I think it’s so cool that a guy like CC, never sucked by association. Way back when, I was concerned that he might. He has not only maintained his core credibility but expanded on it since his Podshow involvement, while Podshow has become pretty much a joke in new media.
To me the Podshow program style epitomizes every thing cheesy about AM radio. Nothing cool like FM radio, but I’m just voicing one guy’s thoughts.
Smart move Chris, but then you’re a smart guy.

I agree Mark. I havent listened to Adam Currys DSC since he once made fun of CC’s passion. Where he was kidding, it was kind of the final straw for DSC becoming one big annoying Podshow commercial. In the past years I felt Adam was on my side. More of us against the establishment. Not that I am a hippy or anything. But it gradually turned me off.
I wonder how many emails they have recieved saying. To suck less how about less annoying intros. I skip them every time. Adams older intro “Bigger faster podshow” was annoying enough.
My 2 cents.
Thanks for this app.
