Earlier this week, Cali and I went to a blogger event hosted by Monster Cable. I met Alexander Grundner from eHomeUpgrade.com. He’s one of my absolute favorite blog writers. I can safely call myself a vlogger, I guess, because I produce video podcasts, but I want to be a better blogger. I want to write something people want to read, so I’ll start with this:
GeekBrief.TV is blessed to be a part of the PodShow network. We love them and they don’t ask for much in return, but they give us a lot. Before we released Brief 203, they asked us to promote Port City PD. It’s a very commendable Podcast drama series. It’s probably the most ambitious Web video production effort so far. The problem is that it’s violent and we HATE the fact that people are entertained by violence. We’re “make love, not war people.”
So…PodShow doesn’t ask us for much, but they asked us to promote a show that we think is too violent, and since we love and appreciate PodShow, we don’t want to say no. I think we found a happy medium on brief 203, but I’m not entirely sure.
Cali and I love a show produced by Ricky Montalvo at TheDailyGeek.TV. We’ve been trying to get PodShow to sign Ricky, but we’ve gotten no response. TheDailyGeek.TV webisodes have the look and feel of This American Life (TAL). TAL is at the top of the iTunes charts so why PodShow wouldn’t jump at the chance to have a similar show, I’m not sure. They seem to think a hip hop thing is a better strategy. I’m just not sure the Web is all that hip hoppity, yet.
So, we love PodShow because they’ve blessed our production efforts, but I want them to embrace what works on the Web as opposed to what works on TV. There is a difference.
