I only make Pod of Funk because the podcast asks me to make it; not because somebody is going to pay me to make it. But, precisely because of this attitude I've been (unexpectedly) offered a radio slot. Is that counter-intuitive or plain common sense?

I left big companies 10 years ago and medium companies a year ago. Maybe a year or so out, I'll have a 'less than 20' rule. So that's a great point. My biggest point wasn't that one should only make money one way. My friend, Christopher S Penn, makes millions for his company on an audio Podcast. Me? I make media for fun and at most personal branding. My point was that those folks hoping a magical gravy train is coming their way for their podcasting efforts might want to put a little more thinking into it. I love Next New Networks and some other folks for trying something of a hybrid. But to seek out the money -and again, I don't make a dime off my media and I'm happy with a day job - the money seems to be going to quality productions that complement media company offerings. Case in point: TreeHugger's news today. Bless Nick and the gang. Great post, Dave. I love your perspective! Great distillation, Dave. I like your point a great deal. I left big companies 10 years ago and medium companies a year ago. Maybe a year or so out, I’ll have a ‘less than 20′ rule. So that’s a great point.
