RADIO FREE CRUZE #35 "Is Podcasting Dead?"
Posted April 11, 2006 DOWNLOAD HERE!
Welcome to this week's show! A new study suggests that Podcasting, the brand-new medium, is already dead in the water! What do you think? I give some statistics from a new study by the Forrester Research Group, and talk about why I think they are crap. What is it Mark Twain said? "There are three kinds of lies. Lies. Damn Lies. And Statistics."
Honestly, I think this is truly an exciting time to be alive! Podcasting is just one of the ways that the control of the media is being wrestled away from the mega-companies, and the playing field is being leveled. Now, they will only survive if they produce entertainment and media that people actually WANT. Just as cable upped the stakes for Broadcast TV, podcasting ups the stakes for Broadcast radio. If they put out quality, we'll listen. If not, we have a LOT of other options!
You can't quite tell from the picture here, but STAR JONES is one of the biggest morons on the planet. Actually, you don't need the picture to know that. But if you have any doubts, click HERE or on the pic itself to see the RADIO FREE CRUZE "Video Of The Month." It's STAR JONES getting hit on the head by a football and falling to the ground, where she moans in pain. As the guy says at the end of this clip, you just can't see this enough.
