Podcasting Roils NPR Fund Raising

Another podcasting piece, this one detailing the trauma the format is causing NPR stations around the country. What somebody needs to do is to develop an adequate pricing/subscription model for podcasts, or, alternately, figure out how to weave commercials into them seamlessly so that end users can't just skip them (a la Tivo).

Otherwise, podcasting may indeed be a blip, not a boom.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
