A Patent For Podcasting?

In this episode, I share some shocking news in the world of podcasting. There has been a story posted that states that a Californian company receives patent for Podcasting.

I share what this article says, the response from the company who has been awarded the patent in question, and my thoughts on the whole thing.

I think the main thing to take away from this episode is that this isn’t anything we should be losing sleep over just yet. We’ll keep our eye on this story.

* Nick called to mention Mail Chimp as an option for mailing lists.

* Jonathan shared some additional insight on naming schemes.

* Jonathan also shared some thoughts on other businesses poaching from Twitter Followers List.
