Todd, if you’re writing checks to people in the thousands for audio, I stand corrected. Everyone making audio, rush to Todd and take his advice. Please. I love my podcasting friends, and if you can all start picking up loot, go for it.

And I’m not being facetious. If that’s the trick, have at!

My point is that I want everyone to jump in and start figuring out how they’re going to make their money. If you’ve got it, Todd, fork it over. : )

Thanks for commenting.

We too often fall into the trap of proclaiming one media better than another, when all have equal pros and cons. A long time ago we had newspapers, radio, and television. Well, heh, we still do, the death of said media has been greatly exaggerated.

Some people sat in the yard gardening with AM talk radio blaring. Some people sat on the porch with their coffee reading the paper. Others watched the evening news in their slippers.

Instead of relying on my old ‘do all media if you can and beat the argument’ meme, I would like to point out issues of international audiences. Text is the easiest to translate, audio the hardest, and video, well interesting that one… Visual context changes a lot. I can probably figure out what’s going on without even understanding the audio… if there are words at all.

The smiling face of a child is pretty much universal.

Certainly team YouTube didn’t care at all about the quality of the video, nor did the 30 million people who were watching videos there.

That mass of eyeballs got them 1.6+ billion dollars.

@Justin Nearly 5 million podcast listeners, not sure how many served http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/12727.asp

Except for the part where YouTube serves up 100 million videos per day… Surely not all of them are what we’d consider “quality.”

Meanwhile, anyone have any numbers on how many audio podcasts are served up every day?
