BTG005 Are Movie Studios Killing Podcasting?

SALINGER UPDATE

Associated Press story

(I’m now pondering the difference between an article and a story.)

PODCASTING

Movie studios are posting single clips as podcasts. The worst offenders:

  • Underworld — 1 MP3, last updated in April
  • Street Fighter — 1 MP3, late updated in late June*
  • Fired Up — 1 MP3, last updated in late May
  • Just Not That Into You — 1 MP3, last updated early May
  • Harry Potter — 1 MP3, last updated in late June*
  • Angle of Death — Award for worst offender! TWO feeds, each with 1 file.

I’ll concede it’s possible that the feeds with one file posted recently could send out more stuff in the future.

  1. Thanks, KaaSerpent.

    I was thinking the same thing after I finished recording. It felt fast to me too. I must have had too much coffee or something.

    And don’t worry; I’m not going to “bing” anymore either. :-)

  2. Hi, Mignon. I’ve been listening to GG and most of the other Q&DT podcasts (that pertain to me) for a while, now, and just started listening to this one, as well.

    I have a suggestion which I hope you’ll take in the constructive way I mean it: Could you slow down just a tad? :) You were breaking speed limits while I was driving….
