The Economics of Podcasting

Scott Kirsner explores some of the economics of podcasting, like the cost of maintaining a site with podcasts and whether casts should have commercials. The Boston Globe piece includes comments from Christopher Lydon, Dave Winer, and Benjamen Walker.

Andrew Grumet has some commentary about the article. Vlogger Steve Garfield (whom you might remember from such publications as The New York Times) addresses some of Scott’s points. The Dowbrigade expresses disappointment. (Hhhmmm … what would the Dowbrigade podcast?)
