podcast411.com — Radio Daddy sent out an email that said and I quote - "Unfortunatly with the ease of producing low quality podcasts and internet stations, children and the feable minded have become the majority operators of these. "Wow - Both emails they sent today - the first one the quote comes from, and the second one when they try to back track are here.

so what's the story here?are you trying to gain some free pubblicity from digg?the first email is true.and, ok, it's a bit harsh, but it's true.internet is full of unprofessionals and much more is full of stupid spammers, abusers and lamerswho tries everyday to find a way to hack limits imposed and abuse of resource they were given.bloggers who thinks they are writers and podcasters who thinks they are professional broadcaster.it's also true that professionals are not always professionals as they should be...and that overall quality of enterntainment is going downi am what people call a designer.i don't feel comfortable with this definition, because there are a lotof more respectable designers out there, much better than me.but for sure 10 years of experience workinghard in this arena, as a professional, make me better than amateur designers.that's true.no way it could be different.and as amateur writer i know that i will never be comparable to Dante Alighieri.in the end.i don't know what are you complaining about.amateurs produce (saving a very few exceptions) amateur works.and in the first email is clearly stated."..about the kids and unprofessional people that run podcasts and internet stations. While there are many exceptions to this, for the most part they were right."i think it's clear for everyone what this means.isn't it?i don't feel offended by someone who says my podcasts are unprofessionals.cause.... they ARE unprofessionals... i know it.

I've never heard of Radio Daddy before today. I have a feeling that that might be part of why the guy worded things that way, to try and get them on the map. Either that, or he's an just an ill-spoken idiot. While I would have to agree that there are some pretty bad podcasts out there, really a LOT of them, there are some real gems too. There are quite a few podcasters that I think can stand toe to toe with the best radio has to offer (especially nowadays). I for the most part have abandoned broadcast radio. The only exceptions are the few times I forget my MP3 player when I go out. The commercial-to-content ratio of radio has gotten so bad that for the most part, I just leave it off, even if I don't have the player with me. The few times I occasionally try to turn the radio on, I'm reminded why it's not worth it and I turn it back off. Even when you take commercials out of the mix (which doesn't leave much), there's just not much worth listening to there.Broadcast radio is in trouble. Not because of podcasting, because I think a majority of people still don't get that yet, but just because, for the most part, they suck. A lot of people would rather talk on their cell phone than listen to some guy laugh at his own bad jokes stuffed in between commercials. Usenet-reminiscent troll tactics aren't likely to help them any. Heaven help them if/when the public at large DOES get a clue about podcasting.

He never actually says F off in the email. What a disappointment

9/10 podcasts suck ass. You have every right to make them, but don't act like little bitches when someone calls them out for what they are. Most are boring, unoriginal and completely self-serving. No one wants to hear your little niche podcast that 10 people subscribe too. Be an adult and accept it. You f**king amateur nothings.

I am subscribed to about ten podcasts, and all of them are aired radio shows, and none of them are from that s**tty daddy

I understood the first e-mail and I agree with the authors comments...There are too many unprofessional brats with podcasts...there are too many on the Internet for that matter.Anyone who was offended by the the original e-mail is feeble minded and probably a child....
