He;s not that motivated. He'll get a huge payday from one or the other.Member, National Sarcasm Society. Like we need your support. -
and honestly - if bubba or howard leave Sirius - the podcast is the only uncensored option left

why not create something that pays and pays and pays - and the better it does the more you make?Originally posted by The Butler View Post
and Howard has enough money to take a couple mil loss if the thing tanks and then he can come back for an even bigger payday (well if Sirius is still around which I doubt)CODComment

Why does it have to be podcast, and not their own internet radio player, kind of like the Sirius player? Fuck, all the FM shows have live streams now, and the quality is decent. Could do it live and playback, and charge other talent to be on it, as opposed to paying them!!
All it really requires is the studio, which they have, a good internet connection, which is fairly cheap now, and a web dept, which they need!!

Isn't "podcast" just a term that is internet broadcast? I don't think it precludes being live.Member, National Sarcasm Society. Like we need your support.Comment

That's sort of implied, live and archived for later listening. A lot of "podcasts" are done live and I hate the term because it's misleading.Originally posted by milkman View PostWhy does it have to be podcast, and not their own internet radio player, kind of like the Sirius player?

And how the hell would charging talent work?

I thought podcast was like a software package that you could get and basically create a recorded show and upload it. Like real low quality shit. I'm talking like more of a live radio channel.Originally posted by SJComment

How many people would like to pay to have the studio setup etc, then they charge a subscription for their content? Bubba is the provider!!Originally posted by Chob View PostThat's sort of implied, live and archived for later listening. A lot of "podcasts" are done live and I hate the term because it's misleading.

It's pretty much a blanket term for any sort of show that's archived for later download.Originally posted by milkman View Post
And I can't tell you the amount of comments saying "but I don't have an iPod" when Bubba first discussed the possibility.
That's why we need another term.

Basically, Bubba sets up the stream system, charges the talent to use it, then those people could charge their followers to subscribe to that channel!! On the internet it is no more than having several multicast addresses for different channels.Originally posted by SJComment

podcasts can be high quality 192k or even higher - but most that are an hour or more cut the bitrate back so the file is only 5mb or so - for quick downloading and so it doesn't eat up your ipod memoryOriginally posted by milkman View Post
the ipod (which podcasting was pretty much designed for IMO) doesn't like large files - it kills the battery as it must read and index more shit.... they say you should split any large files to help promote a longer battery life
yadda yadda yadda
but I digress - podcasts can sound awesome... the problem though is streaming audio live - that becomes a problem in good quality as huge streams suck unless you got wicked highspeedCODComment

I dunno about charging talent - but if you had a way to keep track of podcasts being downloaded you could pay them a commision of what they sell basicallyCODComment
