Little bit of a temper coming out of me this morning, mainly due to this article over at the San Francisco Bay Guardian<\/a>, which discusses the nascent podcasting scene. After reading this, you’d think the only player in the podcasting market is the Curry \/ Bloom venture, PodShow.<\/p>\n

Now I know that a journalist is going to take the easiest route possible to a story. And I also know that PodShow needs to get a stupid amount of coverage to get listeners to get money so they can return the VC money they gained with a healthy return. Which means that this article must be well recieved in the SF offices. But for the journalist? Even a cursory look round the ‘scene would turn up a number of shows and organisations that are succeeding outside the PodShow stable of shows that were mentioned. How about Brian Ibbot and Coverville<\/a> in the area. He’s turning a profit, has licenced music, and has a huge listenership. How about AMP, The Association Of Music Podcasters<\/a> and their library of Podsafe Music? Heck how about www.podsafeaudio.com<\/a> if you want to go down the podsafe music route? Or the world’s first commercial podcast network<\/a>?<\/p>\n

To anyone writing a podcast article, please use Google and look a bit beyond the person shouting the loudest. There’s every chance the quiet one in the corner is actually a bigger story (thinks.. Michael Geoghegan<\/a>, perhaps).<\/p>\n

Excuse me while I throw my toys out the pram. Normal service may resume shortly…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
