Ross,

That's a good point. I do keep wavering over whether its commercialization in general and in this rant I'm mostly affected by the podshow announcement. I think I've also been affected by all the "serial entrepreneurs" that are showing up to our SF podcasters meetup looking to get in on the gold rush they see in podcasting. But you're right that there are some appropriate uses of advertising in podcasting. And don't get me wrong...I'd love to make a buck off it as much as the next person. I just want to do it within my comfort zone.

I can feel already that I've got a follow-up rant coming soon. Thanks for the feedback.

Devan,
I listened to your rant (ignore my email - I had to refresh my cache). I think that the Sirius thing could be a catalyst to spark creativity in the rest of us. Myself, I started podcasting because after listening to the DSC, I was reminded of the excitement I felt when doing college radio. Pure joy. I think that if you/we focus on the joy, then that will be apparent in our art. And that is what will sustain us

You are so right Eddie. We need to focus on the joy of what we are doing with podcasting. It has been that feeling in podcasts I listen to that has got me so excited about this movement. Getting caught up in the potential for fame and fortune certainly distracts from the joy for me. I think my rant helped me purge the distaste I've been feeling toward podshow and now I'm filling back up with creative ideas. Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
