  • jasonmoon jonzjonz,
    do you really think this is the place to start criticizing podcasts? Oh, and by the way, your post is three years old and podcasts are doing quite well. Nov 30, 2009

  • i_am_scifi Can you guys delete my first pronunciation? My mic was waaaay too loud. Got it right the second time, though. Nov 19, 2009

  • jonjonz Marketings greatest triumph of hype over reality. If you said you were going to record your musings on a cassette recorder and distribute copies to all your friends and strangers at the Mall, most people would instantly label you as a flake, and run the other way. So along comes a snake oil salesman, looking for new and better ways to sell his snake oil. His latest snake oil is the cassette/boombox/transistor radio/ of the millenium that performs the same function, but is guarenteed to wear out quickly and is sure to destroy any purchased music product with it. Mr. Snake oil takes the catchy sub literate name 'pod' and sticks it together with casting, like from broadcasting, and voila, a true abomination is born. The simple fact is that this fad will pass, and those hours of 'casts' will thankfully disapear along with thier authors fantasies of talent. Dec 2, 2006
