Open question...

[gallamor]

I've been thinking for a couple years as to whether or not I have the technical chops (not to mention TIME) to put together a series of podcasts highlighting the Pegasus finalists.

So, we have a handy-dandy poll. :)

[Poll #1440983]

What do you think?

EDIT: Yeah, I know I'm rather binary here- there is no Maybe. In this poll, however, I'm really interested only in the absolutes at this time. Shaded areas of grey come when there's actually data for a podcast... :)

Having read all the other responses, it occurs to me to wonder if you were planning this in addition to (best), or instead of (less good) the current short samples that can be downloaded individually and at leisure. Clearly I believe that side-by-side processes would be great, but I don't know how much additional work that would impose on you (individually or plural). If it were possible to add podcasts to the voters' options, rather than supplant the existing samples, it would be awesome.

In addition.

I'm the one who currently makes most of those snips. Which means that I usually already have the whole songs in hand. Adding a small amount of interstitial commentary; add website (for static download) and RSS feed; and off you go.

Permissions. Ahhhhhhh, THERE'S the problem. :)

Like anything else involving permissions, it depends on what gets nominated. :)

Yep. I managed to dodge a lot of this with the way it's handled officially: short samples does not an entire permissions kerfluffle make. :)

Podcasting is different than streaming radio, even- you really *are* giving away a song effectively for free. Some people consider that community service. Some consider it marketing.

And some consider it stealing.

ooooooyeah I gotta be careful. :)
