Please not podcast alley
Feb 14, 2006 7:03PM PST

Podcast alley and other voting sites aren't that great. Podcasters are starting to ask listeners to vote again on those sites. I know it might help drive traffic to some podcasters, but begging for votes makes you seems pretty sad. The one big thing I like about BOL is that they don't ask for votes or money.

... I am affiliated with neither BOL or PA, and am just trying to help the podcast I love.

It's quite the conundrum

Certain Podcasts make it to the top of these lists. Be it podcast alley, itunes or whatever. So people check it out. So it stays on the top of the list.

The never ending cycle.

There's gotta be a better way for the cream of the crop to make it to the top.

Podcast Directories
Feb 15, 2006 1:28AM PST

I would like to see a high-profile directory of independent podcasts that are not supported or hosted by media companies or personalities. Just regular people with little or no radio experience, except pirate radio, and I think people wouldn't mind voting sites.
