Show Me the Podcasting!

podcastingA couple of posts ago we spoke about the value of giving your audio drama away for free. Today, we’re going to ask about the Future of Podcasting from the article in Tech Crunch that asks effectively:

What’s it going to take for Podcasting to have a breakthrough?

Podcasting is well over a decade long and there have been few super star stories. Podcasts that are home run often have some kind of help. Harmontown has the benefit of being the brainchild of superstar Community creator and writer. Dan Harmon. Acerbic Adam Carolla also has the benefit of his previous television effort, The Man Show. Even the monster hit, Serial had the backing, technical efforts and launch platform of NPR. Many podcasters are frustrated with the focus on music only, that seems to be still carrying the lion’s share of hearts and minds. But there is hope? When will podcasting break out on its own?

The End of Podcasting?

Adam Corolla needs your help.

And so do we at the Sonic Society, and EVERY other podcast. Is that hyperbole? Maybe. But it’s also accurate. According to a recent patent filing, Personal Audio, a company represented by James Logan, claims that THEY created Podcasting, and they did it- according to the filed patent- in 2012.  This serious attack on podcasting has Corolla sued in court to the tune of three million dollars.  Patent Trolling is not new, but this does represent an existential threat to podcasts if it goes through. While currently, the EFF (Electric Frontier Foundation) has fought off the first salvo, the war isn’t over yet, and Corolla goes to court in September in an appeal.
