- Miyazaki, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25No Brumski.
- skitzot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Podshow is over-rated. The awesomeness in podcasting comes from the independence of the media, starting a wannabe clear channel for podcasting, is a poor choice.
- shroom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Another startup, another load of wasted money. Although really, in the rising podcast fame, theres bound to be a few companies with tons of investment and very little outcome by corruption.
Brumski? - Miyazaki, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Also, just in case the site goes down...
"Keith and the Girl, arguably the biggest podcast in the world, has continued its occasional series of attacks on Podshow in its latest episode, Prove Me Wrong, by spending around the first 15 minutes of the episode claiming that the entirety of the Podshow network has only 12,000 downloads per day. This is less than the KATG show on its own, according to co-host Keith Malley. No word on where the figures came from as yet, but KATG do have a history of being leaked sensitive Podshow information from disgruntled insiders as in episode #247, The Podshow Contract, where they read out a leaked version of the contract offered to new recruits which had all sorts of restrictive music-label-like clauses.
The publication of such figures, if true, would be a further blow to the new audio media industry which has already seen consolidation in the satellite radio industry this year. I wonder how those numbers would stack up with The Podcast Network. Podshow has to date received US$15 million in venture capital while I don't remember hearing about TPN getting any funding, apart from out of Cameron Reilly's own pocket, yet it seems that TPN doesn't have much to beat." - KeyLimePie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10the Podshow website is ugly, horribly broken and a pain to use. A couple of days after signing up for an account I got overloaded with spam friend requests from each and every show on the damn network. Comparisons to something like MySpace are rife.
Balls to Keith and the Girl for reading the contract and deciding to uphold their integrity. - Panhead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Well because of Podshow's horrid contract Stipulations that state that any podcast creator that signs with them pretty much signs over all rights of their work, they cant get any good intelligent podcasts on their site
what is really sad is their contract is more abusive and limiting than most record company's contracts - KeithMalley, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9PodShow is burying these stories as soon as they're posted here. Everyone blog it on their own site as well. YOU CAN'T STOP THE TRUTH! FREEEEEDOOOOOOM!
- jeffwhit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Podshow never got me blown.
NO BRUMSKI! - cspenn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Bottom line: until someone posts numbers with attribution and breakouts at a level that can be verified by a third party like Feedburner, etc., then neither Keith and the Girl nor Podshow can be taken at face value for numbers. Transparency is key. If Podshow gets 52M downloads a month, great. How do they compute that? If Keith Malley says Podshow only has 12K/day, great. How did he come up with that number? If it's an inside source, what was THEIR source? Apache server logs?
- infectbda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5But weren't they doing it to non-member podcasts too?
- trp_m, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Keith and the Girl are great... Chamsa.
- Darq1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I just can't believe all the millions that went into podshow an all they have is a pretty website. Not even a fully functioning one at that.
- MissPinkKate, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I can't imagine Keith would just make up a figure like that, and I'm DYING to know how he found out.
- willtosubsist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6keet knows whats what because he is keet.
- klang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6No Brumski!
I really don't have anything sensible to add at this point other than ..

SPOOKY IN THE CITY: http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=44564 - DenZ88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Podshow is another rotten record company gaining leverage from bad contracts and greed-infested executives.
It's everything podcasting shouldn't be, and it's ironic that the "podfather," Mr. Adam Curry, leads such a shady business. - DenZ88, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6For those innocent of Podshow's record-industry-like crap:
http://digg.com/hardware/Adam_Curry_s_shady_Podshow_contract_exposed_on_Keith_and_the_Girl_podcast - AndrewDiggs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6See the numbers for yourself. KATG is just one show and their Web site has more traffic than all of podshow.com.
http://www.alexa2.com/podshow.com+keithandthegirl.com - webmasterjoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6And podshow doesn't even have a secret trucker greeting. brrt brrt!
- joehobbes, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7I enjoy GeekBrief TV, but as for the rest of them, I could care less
- Picard102, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It has been buried.
- KeithMalley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I meant YOUR own site, but that's funny.
- zeat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Listening to today's show it sounds like there are more revelations due soon. Watch this space... or listen to it, at least.
- 89vision, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Sort of like you wish girls would talk to you?

just sayin - dbjornba, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I know Adam has some sort of vision for Podshow where the top talent should not matter but, why put out a product where you know you're not try to put out the best talent/product available on the market and who gave 30 Mil to put out product that's not most popular in the market.
- tecpatl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Let KATG have $15 million so they can get their teeth blinged out to the max *BANG BANG*
- RichardAZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I can't stand that show, someone drinks too much caffeine for my tastes.
- armenta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Podshow is like the old man that needs his cane thrown for being a loudmouth prick. Good work Keith and Chemda. Look at the scoreboard Podshow. Hail to KATG. Chamsa, chamsa, chamsa.

- gymwizard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Everybody should check out KATG Show# 247 The PodShow Contract
http://katg.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=73950# - matholio, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3NO BRUMSKI!
I can't remember the hows and whens but podshow used to alter people rss feeds to include their own content. - bergur1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3no brumski!
I remember the podshow contract episode was posted on digg and it got me into podcasting.I must say KATG were lacking recently with all their teeth talk but otherwise have been funny. - kingchivas, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4KATG rocks!

www.keithandthegirl.com (CLICK IT!) - adamjackson1984, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3BRUMSKI!
- graydigg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Podshow seems to be down and in some "maintenace" sort of mode.
- CZzyzx41, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Really? Cause I heard all you get is a toaster but podshow actually still owns it so when you end your contract with them you have to return it. Death to Podshow!
- kevptim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Spooky's show, to tell the truth, is not very good. Coat-tail riding more than Max ever did.
KATG deserves #1 spot though for sure. - LMBSM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm gonna sign up with podshow and if I can get 4 of you to download my show, that's $1,000!!! Who's in?
- PaulLev, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Podcast show puts brief bumpers - identifying themselves - before and after my show - that's hardly "altering" anyone's content! http://www.paullevinson.net/podcasts.phtml
- NormanJr, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2......
- PaulLev, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2And I've had exactly the opposite experience - my Levinson news clips shows comes out several times a week. I do reviews of 24, Lost, etc often minutes after the shows have aired, and the uploads to Podshow work just fine. In what way is the site broken? http://www.paullevinson.net/podcasts.phtml
- NormanJr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If downloads is importent. How do you know they are listening to them. I downloads alot of podcast from Itunes, but I don't listen to them all the time. Will advertisers want answer to that too?
- PaulLev, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2maybe because it's a lame, untrue story...
- NormanJr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Bottom line: It's all about money.
Podshow makes more money - MicheBel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@panhead
Yeah, thanks a lot. "no intelligent podcasts on their site"? Hardly.
1. The numbers are wrong.
2. Podshow doesn't own my content, I do.
3. Podshow is the best site around for podcasting content in one place.
I love being at Podshow, can't imagine anywhere I'd rather be.
