Hearty congratulations to you and your team!
I have a recent post about Silicon Valley's VC China Race. I thought it may be interesting to your readers. Do you want to link it to your site? Please let me know.
Thanks,
Or is this a hosting business with a podcast or a podcast with a hosting business?
Just how profitable is NPR?
Are the pledge drives just a sham to fatten up the profit margins? Is that what they pay bonuses out of?
Or is "NPR of podcasting" just unfortunate rhetoric?
You raise a good point about "NPR of podcasting." To be fair to John, he used the NPR analogy in the context of his news component, which is only one of three areas he'll be targeting (see the three points I mentioend in post). And so perhaps I distorted things a bit by focusing on it in the headline. I did so because I thought it captured the essence of the "content" nature of this company. But I know he's trying to figure out how to go after the big marketing dollars from companies.
