“Why am I getting 20 updates a week from a show that airs once every weekday? If anything, this makes the podcast easier to skip than to enjoy. I doubt This American Life, Fresh Air, or Radiolab would ever have found a podcast audience if they split shows into 4 separate updates. Can you imagine if Car Talk released a different podcast for each individual phone call?
WNYC has boldly and rightly picked up a much more innovative interview program called Bullseye with Jesse Thorn, which actually started as a podcast before it was distributed by PRI. If Leonard Lopate wants to maintain a growing audience (and donors) his producers have unfortunately done a great job alienating any future listenership.”
