I think calling it revolutionary is going a bit far. I think my main issue though, is Jaffe’s smugness and his fixation on monetizing his dwindling band of listeners.

The long tail on advertising and talking about topics in the podcast means they’ll be part of the show forever. So the time / place / context of the commercial might make sense at the time. But ultimately in the over all concept of the show (going forward) it might make less sense.

It’s a double edge sword. It’s liberating to have ad revenue, but it might mean later on looking back at it and thinking… what was I thinking?

Anyone remember MC Hammer and his KFC Popcorn Chicken deal?

First and foremost, Happy Birthday for tomorrow :)

This is a very cool experiment and I’m working on iPhone number 2 right now.

Watch this space!!!

I REALLY do hope this becomes a workable solution for the podosphere and beyond.

As media sponsorship demi-mondes go, my friend, at least you are honest and enthusiastic when you sell yourself out…
