  1. I feel honored to have my comments driving the first portion of the show. I’ll hold of for a few weeks to let some other listeners have their say ;)

    Don’t think I expressed myself very well with the PodShow vs. PodTech vs. Blubrry comment. Suffice it to say that I think that the Blubrry approach of building a strong, distributed community and then dealing with issues of monetization later is a smarter bet than blowing tons of venture capital dollars to try to build an empire right off the bat.

    Craigslist took a similarly “organic” approach to developing a community around information. They are now a powerhouse while many of their VC funded contemporaries have fallen by the wayside.
