I say it is their loss. I have chose creative commons to publish my writing as a method of advertising. Would I be happy to find someone else posting my work on thier site? Sure, as long as they abide by my license. I have taken steps to plan ahead. It seems like TAL has not. TAL certainly has a right to say, please stop using out show. Just as we have a right to not listen to it anymore. We live in a world that has changed and those that don't take notice will be left behind. Audible was a good things years ago for a show that wanted distribution help, but it is no longer necessary. I would hope that TAL will wake up and see the sillieness of their actions. If they don't someone else will rise to the occassion and fill in the gap left by the overwhelming silence that was there place in the podosphere.

Kind of bizarre, and disappointing from Jon. I never expected to see him do something like that. It's difficult to have a conversation when the original context of the discussion has disappeared.

They are missing the point. I like to think that it's due to some contract they signed with Audible that they now wish they hadn't signed. The show is still really good. I hear you on this.

After reading Jon's update (where he respects their request, but points the RSS feed instead to his blogpost as a subtle form of protest), I decided to submit the whole thing to BB. Cross your fingers...it'll be interesting to see the ramifications as this continues to spread out across the Blogosphere. I agree with you 100%; they just don't get it, and they're alienating the very people who have historically supported them. I recently went 100% podcast in the car (with a new FM transmitter for my MP3 player), and I'm pleased as punch about it. No looking back. Thanks for the attribution, Dave!
