Opaque Lucidity

Move Over, Podshow

At the end of February, my contract with Podshow expired; I have no interest in renewing, nor have they inquired about an extension. If what I saw and heard is any indication, I am surprised the service is still a going concern. What's more, I'm surprised that Adam Curry hasn't lost interest yet and sold his share. Basically, they have about 15 shows they like to promote. If you're not in that group, you are filler.

With this in mind, I have setup an account with Libsyn, one of the largest podcast hosting services in the world. I have actually met one of the big wheels there, a man named Rob Welch. Their customer support is awesome, as I have already asked several questions about the service. The plan I require right now is only $10 a month; they charge for storage, not bandwidth used, and my show files are small. Additionally, their statistics seem very detailed unlike Podshow's, which is sort of a hit-and-miss thing that is updated, oh, whenever.

This move has sort of rejuvenated my enthusiasm for podcasting. It's like version 2.0 is about to set sail. Stay tuned for details as to how to subscribe to the new feed.
