Nobody listens to Podcasts:

Story:

I was sitting in work recently surfing the pages for a new studio microphone to buy to record some decent sounding demos. I stumbled upon a mic made by Blue called the “Snowball.” The mic was knocked down to about a hundred bucks so I gave it a look. I thought the mic looked pretty cool and useful so I went down to the local guitar center to pick it up.

I walk in to the pro audio section, (and if you’ve ever been in a Guitar center, you know how thick the sales temperature is in their, you are meat with money) So I holler over to a green cardigan sweater wearing salesmen who, judging by the looks of him, knew everything there was to know about computers and star wars in the past decade or so, and said to him, “I’m gonna pick up the Snowball today…” He replied with a puzzled look on his face saying, “You doin some podcasting?” The answer was no, I needed it for something more useful but I wasn’t about to get into it with this guy. I walked out of the store seeing the salesman in the corner of my eye with a small smirk of a smile because of the couple bucks I just threw in his pocket from the sale.While I was playing with the mic I reminisced about moments ago, and what the salesmen had said to me and it dawned on me, no one actually listens to pod casts.

Result:

Given the thought, a pod cast is simply an audio file posted to Itunes or any Joe Smo’s website, as some inconvenient wannabe radio show about god knows what. Sorry Joe, but nobody cares, and nobody’s listening. To Mr. Podcast over in Idaho, my advice is to hop online, search for a local radio station, and start bringing them their coffee as an intern. This may end up being an opportunity for you to eventually create an audio show that some one other than yourself, you hamster and your walls will hear.
