Re:Penn Radio Podcast Dead - 2006/07/06 22:31
At one point, Penn said something like "It doesn't really matter to him if all of his recorded/broadcast material is 'pirated', because he makes most of his money from live performances". I personally know that many people to whom I've lent my BullShit! DVDs later went out and bought a set of their own (possibly a later season) and/or subscribed to Showtime as a result. I've actually wished that the podcast might have a reasonably tasteful, intelligent (60 second or less) commercial at the begining, end or maybe even the middle to help support it. (I could even live with before, after and JUST ONE in the middle.) As much as I appreciate the recorded downloads, I con't see why anyone, given a choice, would listen to it on that station that fills up the show with those 5 minute breaks where they play bad music and tell you how lucky you are that you don't have to listen to commercials. (Okay, I bet tha most of us don't believe in luck.  ) What those annoyance breaks tell me is that they couldn't sell ads and then I start worrying that the show might be in trouble.
Seriously though, THANK YOU VERY MUCH to everyone who takes the time to record the show and make it available to those of us who aren't able to listen to it otherwise. Likewise, thank you to everyone who has contributed to the excellent show notes on this site. (I wish all programs had notes like that to help people find segments, etc.)
