Hey, it's my right as a single, middle aged man with a cat to dump on things.;-) I don't mean to dump on them. Sounds like a real mess. But Don, three weeks? Can you imagine if a terrestrial radio network was down for three weeks? Yikes. Lucky it happened during the holidays. I'm surprised...

Hey Don, So, my first post and it's a whine. What kind of rinky dink outfits you hooked with? First it's down for three weeks....three weeks. And then I finally get to listen live for the first time and it goes down again? Sheesh. I looked at the Facebook Page and this is their description...

Oh, don't get me wrong, I know you're no neophyte. I'm just saying that things are changing so rapidly these days that new models have to be discovered and I have found some that work, at least for my clients. All I am trying to say is look in "a direction you never looked before." I had to and...

First off. I'm not in the radio business. Part of my business is helping clients get on the web and market their sites etc. So, basically you're going to stick with an old business model. Okay. You stated that there are no viable business models out there besides the one you chose. I just...

In another thread I responded to Paul about the new business models that are popping up around the internets. The problem is not that you have an insolvable problem but that you haven't found the right business model. You're using an outdated business model that is solely focused on the show...

Yeah, the record companies et al. I used to agree 100% with you until I realized how the playing field is not level. Probably the best example of how you don't lose money by giving your IP away is The Dead, way before the digital age. They used to allow fans to plug into the soundboard and...

The fact is they are changing the world or at least the business model of the world. And it's not just kids. People have become accustomed to free on the internet. Look what's happening to newspapers. But those who have thought out of the box are either on their way to making money or...

So let's talk about the online world, the legal one. Online TV shows such as those from Hulu contain exactly the same ads you see on broadcast or cable TV. There is no difference. Even the premium version will, in part, be ad supported. You want to pay more, you get your shows without the ads...

All I did was express my bummed outness at the new ads. I understand that Gene has to do what he has to do to make it viable, which is why I said, as I noted to Paul, "good for you, bad for me." But now that I'm responding to this message, I'll say what I think about the old style radio model...

No, I understand. That's why I said "good for you, bad for me." I have come to loathe ads. I can't even stand the "underwriting" announcements on PBS and NPR. I'm not angry about it. Just bummed. I know you gotta do what you gotta do. When I heard the first break last night, I said to myself...

Man, sorry to hear that. You lost me. I can take limited interruptions but not that many. Too bad. It's good for you but bad for me.

Jeff and Jeremy don't need me to defend them but I thought their comments on the Jacobs issue were right on the money. And why shouldn't they be mad? They should just sit back and allow people to attack them? They should remain silent when someone like Ecker publicly says that someone should...

I wouldn't trust him. How do you know he really loves you? Because he says so? He could be lying, hallucinating or mistaking his feelings for other more mundane feelings. His recollection of the show with Mamer could just be flashbulb memory which we all know is fallible. I hate to be the one...

This whole brain makes mistakes argument is bogus. Sure it does, but why when someone sees something weird does the skeptic automatically include that in his repertoire of reasons why the person couldn't have seen what they thought they saw? It's because they don't believe there is such a thing...

Well, then you'd never make it as a professional skeptic. What I should have said is "pseudo-skeptics." Those are the guys who have hijacked the term skeptic. Shermer, Randi, Nickels, et al. They are no more skeptics than the man in the moon (who exists btw). I am not a skeptic but I am...
