So I’ve been reading a lot, I mean A LOT about the business models for podcasting and all this related crap. Everyone’s talking about business models, how to make money, which technology is a fad, satelite vs. podcasting vs. 3G phones, etc., who will squash whom. I think many people are missing the point: It’s about content. Without content there is no business model. Content.

The cunt-tent model. If that were true though, then the best content would make the most money. I would call this the ?de Tocqueville Fallacy?, (named after the great historian who knew we were all a bunch of morons), which is the idea that, in Americunt the best rises to the top and succeeds.
But we know that not to be true: Bush over Kerry, Hollywood over Indie, mass recording artist over Indie, Walmart over mom and pops, fossil fuel over alternative, Microsoft over Apple, Fox news and the pabulum that is corporate TV, the Oscars, Survivor and reality TV, Brittany Spears, the Kyoto accord, Logging, fascism, the Patriot act, Vietnam, extremist, and so on and on? We are fucking doomed by the way.
Maybe the truth lies somewhere between great cunt-tent and Prostitution. So keep your meat flaps lubricated.
good point dom x. I will say though Madge, your cuntent is the most creative and entertaining so far in the podcast sphere. Can I smell your cunt now because I said that? hahahaha.
I sleep in a cunt tent.
After the Ipod Shuffles you should literally give away “cunt tents” for camping pleasure. Ok now that I wrote it it’s not as funny.
Mark, I would prefer to give away my cunt-stained panties. It sounld like you would like to go camping in my cunt tent. Forgetting my lesbianism, are you?
It worries me the way individual podcasters are looking to make money on their own terms. A lot of them are talking about selling episodes thru Audible or the iTunes store. That would be a terrible mistake. Even if the content is great, I’m not going to jump thru those kind of hoops just to hear a podcast. Not only would it be expensive, for me it would be $80-100 a week, but it would just be just time-consuming as hell to gather them all together.
The most plausible money-making model in my mind would be a podcasting network. One monthly fee ($5 sounds reasonable to me, I’d pay), several high-quality and worthwhile shows daily. The cream of the crop should link arms and start thinking about striking out together.
Another point while I’m here. Madge has been talking for a while now about moving abroad, presumably to get away from all this American Insanity.
Please, don’t.
Here, you are a beloved subversive speaking out and over the din of the National Pravda. It gives your voice a sense of urgency to plead for a life vest while on the sinking ship. In Europe, you’re just another asshole. Ex-pats that whine about America just piss me off.
Stay and get out your hip-waders. The shit is rising, and the stink in your nostrils makes the show that much better.
DAGNABBIT!
just because someone invented a new word “PODCASTING” , does not mean anything is new here. And certainly no new business. this is simply entertainment.. in madge’s case anyway.
These podcasts are either art/entertainment, and worth paying for, or it is crap and not worth anything. That is why i think the great shows like this should be sold as episodes.. and screw these “PODFATHERS” like curry who are trying to be the next bill gates by trying to control the artists, and selling the CUNTENT! The CUNTENT in this case “YEAST RADIO” is worth more than the wires it is distributed on..
Jason, what’s a hip-wader? Some sort of hippie clothing?
Amber, what makes you think that Curry is trying to control the artists? I don’t see that.
Hip-waders are those horrible armpit-high rubber pants people use when fishing in order to stay dry.
