Unprofitable Podcasters Claim Podcasting is Dead
After Michael Geoghegan stated that Podcasting Is Dead in his presentation at the 2007 New Media Expo, I said that I would no longer entertain this debate and stating anyone who does is trying to link bait.
So, here I am, four months later, posting about this debate as to whether or not podcasting is dead. There’s a reason why I’m addressing this now:
- Wizzard, the company that owns Libsyn, released some statistics that the number of podcast requests across their network is in the billions. Very encouraging.
- Mark Evans called me out wondering whether I would lay in on this debate.
- Paul Colligan stated that when he attended CES, podcasting wasn’t the star, going as far as to say that podcasting is no longer the story.
- And I’ve finally figured out the #1 reason why most people claim podcasting is dead and I must share this epiphany.
