DISQUS

Mathew's comments: Are podcasts even worse than vlogs?

  • Rob Hyndman · 3 years ago
    It took me just 4 sessions - with content provided and just intro and out-tro to produce - to discover that.

    Content may be king, but it's also quite the taskmaster.

    Agreed.

    Podcasting, and Vlogs are (IMHO) longtail examples of media distribution. The chances of me finding a radio show on VoIP where I can hear industry leaders discuss candidly and openly, isn't going to happen any time soon on my local radio station.

    But now I subscribe to 4-5, and look forward to new episodes, it isn't about content entirely.

    The medium is still the message.

    I love Rob's comment about good podcast content being a taskmaster. It's true. I've been podcasting for more than a year and I know the work involved in planning and producing a compelling podcast.

    Some organizations are now outsourcing this work -- just as they outsource their advertising, newsletters, etc.

    As for video blogs or vlogs -- I think they work well when the visual component helps to convey the message. Talking heads need not apply. ;-)

    Thanks for the comment, Donna. I totally agree.

    vlogs are a great medium for communication
