Comment on Flattr Wants to Help Podcasters Get Paid by Siim Teller

Siim Teller — Fri, 18 May 2012 20:17:18 +0000

Nice post David, thanks for covering Flattr.

In fact podcasting is our most successful category, there’s a well-known German podcaster Tim Pritlove (he has at least one show in English too) who has publicly revealed that he makes €2500 (that should be over $3000) per month after tax.

Oh, and for the Android users Podkicker Pro just integrated Flattr in a similar way.

Comment on How To Submit Your Podcast To the Zune Marketplace by Bob

Bob — Wed, 02 May 2012 11:36:01 +0000

Just submitted our new fan podcast to the Zune marketplace. However, it didn’t give me any kind of confirmation? Seems kind of strange considering how iTunes & Blackberry did it. Anyway, I thought maybe I was missing something, so I submitted it again (same result). Hopefully, they don’t dock me for doing it twice…We’ll see!

P.S. Since this post is from a while back, I didn’t download any software, I just submitted it via their link on their website. Same process though.

Good luck podcasters!

Comment on Mevio Dumps Audio Podcasts by Ted Forbes

Ted Forbes — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 23:23:11 +0000

Thanks for your post. I had the same thing happen to me. The weirdest part is that they sponsor the one show they didn’t delete.

Makes me wonder what’s going on at Mevio…

Wish they would communicate with us – I’d be happy them to keep my feed, but just deleting it without telling me is unacceptable.

Comment on Stitcher Radio Stats Show People Are Leaving Early by Jason of TVtimesThree

Jason of TVtimesThree — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 01:34:11 +0000

I love Stitcher, but I sometimes wonder about their stats. I know that I start listening to a show and then stop part way and then come back and listen to the rest later. Yet, the app never shows that episode as completed. It makes me wonder if the system has actually counted that as listening all the way thru. Although, however it works, you still get more info than just how many downloads.

So glad to hear Stitcher is helping more folks find your shows David.

Comment on This is Why I Podcast by carlie

carlie — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 04:49:28 +0000

I just wanted to leave you this message. I am able to listen to my i touch at work and was looking for something motivating. I am soooo glad I found your podcast!!! I to, have done …read….. and re-tried every diet you can think of, my husband jokes that I am the most weight loss educated over weight person he knows. I know he means well and if it wasnt true I might be hurt by that. Anyway I started with your oldest podcasts and working my way to your most recent. I have about 100 lbs to lose. I have not always been heavy so I know the sweet feeling of feeling skinny and looking good. What I like about lisnening to you is you are so real and you make me smile. I am trying the ” just lose 2 pounds” then another “2 pounds” I have just been doing this for one day and I love the lose it app. you mentioned. Like I said I have started at your oldest podcasts and do not know your recent info on your weight loss journey but look foward to hereing more! It sounds like you have a lot of irons in the fire and I just hope the logical weight loss podcast does not take a back seat! We need someone like you! And on another note, I liked your comment on religion and if you are able to spread the message of God in the same manner you reach out to people about weight loss I look foward to that as well! Thank You for what you do! Carlie

jay, I think your more than a ham an egger. I listened to the mike cowhead broadcast today.I think you held in there longer than I would have. Cow has a way with swag,but you did a hell of a job dealing w/the mike blows,(left jab,upper cut). Just a big fan in Sarasoa,fl. Oh hetro for sure. I’m just say’n,just because this sounds alittle gay. I do not try to text anyone, especially a comic. Just as I put that out there Letterman’s intro was niel patric whatever just told Dave he was glad Dave came out of the closet last nite. Letterman said I’m NOT GAY! comedy is timing,unless you can do excellent f..ing impressions . thanks for doing what u do, the non-spelling idiot from Sarasota…..Tim….

Comment on Mevio Dumps Audio Podcasts by Graham Holland

Graham Holland — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:37:23 +0000

As far as I can see Music Alley is not currently being supported by its owners. I suspect it’s probably just being kept for the advertising it brings in. I contacted them some time back to ask how I could get my show as a ‘featured podcast’ on the front page but never got a reply. Some of the current ‘featured podcasts’ such as Accident Hash and the U-Turn Cafe haven’t been running for years, and there’s been no attempt whatsoever to update this. The fact that the homepage still advertises Mevio’s free show hosting for podcasters is further proof that Music Alley has been abandoned (in much the same way that Podcast Alley has also been abandoned by it’s owner).

Just dawned on me today that Music Alley is also from Mevio. I’m wondering if this is affecting it as well. I cant log into my account there but the site is up and running.

Comment on Mevio Dumps Audio Podcasts by Graham Holland

Mevio definitely did NOT deliver emails to all of their registered and active producers. I only got a reply because I managed to contact the Senior Marketing Director directly.
NO advance warning
NO communication with the majority of podcasters
NO reply to support requests (even with a support ticket)

I know as users of a free service (read the terms and conditions) that Mevio has the right to withdraw its service at any time and without notice, but this hasn’t done the company’s reputation any good at all.

I’ve backed up my files for free (and permanently) at the Internet Archive – archive.org – it’s a little slower to download files from here but at least it’s not going to disappear overnight and leave me stranded.

Comment on Mevio Dumps Audio Podcasts by Scott Hudson

Scott Hudson — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 03:01:39 +0000

It should be noted that there was NO advance warning of this change. Podcasters suddenly found their shows “suspended”, and Mevio would NOT return any emails or so-called “support tickets”. Some eventually received notices that Mevio was looking into ways to allow access to the shows, but I know of nobody that received an email like you posted in this story.

I’m back! On the topic of “eternal optimist”… I’m still hoping that there’s comparable service out there somewhere and I’m just missing it. Anyone? That automatic stitching process can’t be so hard to reproduce that, years and year and years later, there really isn’t anyone who has done it?

I’m a huge fan of WishlistMember, a membership plugin for WordPress. Based on the features you describe for Magic Members, WishlistMember works the same way. Plus, WishlistMember integrates nicely with just about every shopping cart and email system out there.

Homebrewed Christianity was definitely my favorite podcast this year. Tailor-made for anyone and everyone who is curious about theology.

Hi Ddave,

Got your letter about favorite podcasts. That is a very tough question, but I’d have to say the podcast that I always look for is The Best of the Left. Every three days, Jay Tomlinson aggregates the best of the progressive media. He’s always on schedule and always has clips that are funny, make you think or inform you about something you might have missed in the media. It’s the podcast for politics junkies packed with trenchant commentary, sometimes from unexpected places. More unusual, each show has a theme, so you get pretty deep into the topic from all sides, whether it be NDAA, Occupy, congressional follies or deconstructing war propaganda. It’s not your average clip show.

Thanks for posting this Dave. I had a note to look it up and found more here than I expected. It seems like budgeting two minutes for an intro is long. We will have to test different versions to see what we think works best for us.

My favorite comedy show of the year was ‘Hollywood Babylon’ from the Smodcast network. For religion I really liked the ‘Something Beautiful Podcast.’ Politics wise I loved the ‘It’s all politics’ show from PBS. This dude named Dave Jackson has my favorite podcast about podcasting.

Comment on Making Sure Blog Talk Radio Still Sucks by David

David — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 23:21:02 +0000

You would need to put a “new rss” tag into the rss feed. Being that this comes from blog talk radio, and being that they know what that “new rss” tag would move you away from them, I doubt it. That’s why I use feedburner and submit my feedburner feed to iTunes. Then if I want to change something, I pupdate feedburner which updates iTunes.

Do you know if it is possible to migrate an RSS feed that is hooked up to iTunes from a BlogTalkRadio account to a self-hosted podcast?
