I Want Different Podcast Awards
The Podcast Awards must be happening. In the past 24 hours, I’ve gotten 12 emails, over 40 bulletins on MySpace, and on virtually every other channel you can reach out to your audience with, I’ve had fellow podcasters begging, pleading, and pimping for votes for the 2007 Podcast Awards. Now, don’t get me wrong. If…

Nokia Podcasting on the N91 Handset
Nokia Podcasting on the N91 Handset System: 2.20 Software: Podcatching Client 1.00.3 SIS Here’s what I’ve discovered after having a Nokia N91 for 48 hours… Risto K. from Nokia flat out said at PodCamp Europe that the only directory Nokia *searches* for podcasts is DigitalPodcast.com.

Another drop of water outside the podcasting fishbowl
Podcasters Across Borders was incredible this weekend, with so many great presentations, so many good friends, and lots of discussion about podcasting.

Podshow's Gold Mine, the RIAA, Sound Exchange, and sucking less

Here is what is wrong with Podshow (and maybe how to fix it)
Here is what is wrong with Podshow (and maybe how to fix it) I’ve been collecting Twitters from folks about Podshow’s campaign: Mike Yusi: Is anyone else on Podshow getting emails complaining about the new openings? P. W. Fenton: Better question: Is anyone not? P_Dub: Some podcasters have avoided putting out podcasts until the one…

How To Suck Much Less
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.

Dear RIAA: Please get your royalties from terrestrial radio
Steve from the Wicked Good Podcast points us all to this LA Times article. Short version: the RIAA wants more money, and is tired of radio freeloading off of its content library. They want to extract performance royalties from terrestrial radio just as they want for every other form of media in which their artists…
