Comments on: BTPodShow gets a facelift http://neildixon.com/btpodshow-gets-a-facelift/ neil dixon's blog, journal, and list of stuff he does Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:22:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: neil http://neildixon.com/btpodshow-gets-a-facelift/comment-page-1/#comment-75117 neil Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:54:20 +0000 http://neildixon.com/2008/03/13/btpodshow-gets-a-facelift/#comment-75117 At the moment I do not have enough familiarity with the new stuff and ongoing plans for it to cover your comments directly, but I understand where you are coming from. I have a few questions myself that I hope I will be able to discuss once I have the answers. All in all, think of this as just a step - albeit an important one for the company's future - on the road to V3. The focus of how PodShow, as a company, uses the site has shifted slightly for the medium term and as we move through the next few months a lot of the pieces will start to fit together. Video is seen as the way forward to provide a more solid business ongoing because that is where the growth is, but I agree it is critical that audio producers are not left feeling tucked away in a corner. There's certainly no policy to treat audio as second-class, and we will have to be conscious of the issue and maintain the right balance. Once I have more understanding myself, I'll be sure to talk with you.

All in all, think of this as just a step – albeit an important one for the company’s future – on the road to V3. The focus of how PodShow, as a company, uses the site has shifted slightly for the medium term and as we move through the next few months a lot of the pieces will start to fit together.

Once I have more understanding myself, I’ll be sure to talk with you.

I posted a couple of concerns about what the sites doing, and what we as producers need to get ourselves to the upper echelon of podshow. The comments Ron Bloom said of yesterdays Geek Brief has, in my opinion, soured things a little. If feels as if video is the be all and end all, when audio producers like myself (user based content), are being either dragged along for the ride or being neglected like a stray dog. I'm not having a go, far from it, I've been happy with podshows progress and in turn my show too, but it would be nice to have some clarification on podshows "manifesto" for the audio producers, as it seems to be video all the way at the moment.
