The zings, bangs, crashes, trumpet fanfares, and rounds of applause every few seconds can obliterate the intelligibility—and ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2009/01/04/podcastus-overproductus/ Podcasts produced by traditional media companies seem particularly vulnerable to this condition. Far from struggling to attract advertisers as many independent podcasters do, those who suffer from Advertissimus Maximus have ads to spare, so many that they insert one every few minutes. Alas, this compulsion to advertise drives away the ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/11/26/advertissimus-maximus/ For some reason, the presence of a microphone transforms normally interesting people into dull, dry lecturers who drone on endlessly with irrelevant, abstruse information rather than saying anything the listeners want to hear. The result is a podcast that no one can listen to for more than a few ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/10/12/podcastus-desiccatus/ Freelance journalist Michelle Rafter interviewed ‘Professor’ Goetsch and Adjunct Professors Priscilla Rice and Michele Molitor for her May Inc Technology article, ‘Essential Steps to Starting a Business Podcast.’ The article appears in the ‘software’ section, probably because Inc Technology doesn't have a ‘social media’ section. Yet, anyway. While various people claimed in ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/05/04/inc-technology-talks-podcasting-with-the-asylum/ This show only appears for a couple of months before, during, and after each year's Book Expo America, and it includes some of the presentations from the event, as well as a number of interviews with authors. I'm not that interested in most of the author interviews (many are ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/04/12/book-expo-cast/ At first, this show was high on production values but suffered a terrible case of Podcastus Inhospitus. The production values have remained good, but Lisa Johnson, Cassie Pruett, and the Reach Group team have made the show more accessible, producing in MP3 format, with a blog for show notes ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/04/12/the-connected-generation-2/ The Forward Podcast is aimed at young PR professionals. So what is a forty-year-old podcasting professor doing listening to it? Well, some of it is the charm and humor of the hosts, Paull Young and Luke Armour, and some of it is the fact that many of the topics ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/04/12/the-forward-podcast/ I've come late to this weekly podcast by Christopher S. Penn and John Wall, of whom I'd heard long before I started listening. (Christopher does the Financial Aid Podcast and is one of the founders of PodCamp; John hosts The M Show every Monday.) The show has been picked ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/04/12/marketing-over-coffee/ David Maister's podcast is not the kind of listener-driven show I favor. If anyone comments on the podcasts, there's no mention of it in the show. The style is polished and entirely suited to a presentation to a large group. Indeed, Maister's ‘voice’ is the same in purpose-recorded podcasts as ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/04/12/david-maisters-business-masterclass/ There are occasions when a podcaster starts producing an episode, but something prevents the show from being posted. This can cause both the podcaster and his or her listeners serious emotional trauma. There are many possible causes for Podcastus Interruptus. For instance, the proverbial Person from Porlock could knock at ... http://www.podcastasylum.com/content/2008/03/23/podcastus-interruptus/
