한 해 전, Ajay는 MB에 대해 내가 팟캐스팅에 대해 어떻게 생각하는지 물으면서 짧은 인터뷰를 요청했다. 나는 내가 말했다던 것이 정확히 기억나지 않았지만, 요점은 팟캐스팅 행위가 어려운 일상 습관이며 짧은 수명일 수 있다는 것이었다.
A quick check at the list of nominations for the 2007 Philippine Blog Awards in the podcast category showed poor results. So, I went back a tracked them. Most of the Filipino Podcasts I used to listen had been off the air or floating somewhere. So, where are they and what could be the reason why they discontinued their shows?
- Diminished/Lost interest from podcasters?
- Lack of time and/or schedule coordination among co-hosts to continue regular programming?
- Lack of topics to cover?
- No audience?
- No avenues for monetization?
- Went back to blogging as it's easier and less stressful to write than to talk (and edit, and mix, and compress, and upload).
In blogging, I noticed that the most prolific ones (or the ones that really grew their audience) were partly motivated by the monetization aspect so the is the lack thereof in the podcasting arena be a reason for that? I'm not sure.
That area of the local blogosphere needs to be rejuvenated. :) To our former/current podcasters out there, why'd you stopped?
