New Podcasting Group
Scott Bourne has announced a new podcasting group in response to the ADM group which he has concerns about. There are some impressive members of the steering committee.
Scott Bourne: Podango Productions, Apple Phone Show
Michael Geoghegan: GigaVox
Lee Gibbons: Podango
Judith Hutchinson, M.D.: Medical Minute
Leo Laporte: TWiT.TV
Alex Lindsay: Pixel Corps
Michael Mennenga: Farpoint Media
Doug Smith: Podango
Tim Street: French Maid.TV
Gretchen Vogelzang: MommyCast
Jeffrey Wilerth: Farpoint Media
You can check out the group by visiting the Industry and User Survey. On that site the purpose of the survey is stated as
“• Determine issues and concerns related to the establishment of the ADM, including their relative weight, universality and depth.
• Explore alternative formation methods, structures, fees, and agenda, and make recommendations.
• Explore the advisability of uniting behind one or more podcasting industry associations.
• Assess the importance of a broader mission and alternative focus to that of measuring downloads.
• Involve all who wish to participate in the process of the formation of an industry association.”
It will interesting to see how both this group and ADM move forward, as I said before because I am UK based, I feel a little out of the loop. However, I do feel that these groups could help the podosphere - I don’t want the sector to become some regulated that the essence is lost, but I do feel there are some areas that can be helped by standardisation. I will be watching the groups closely.
