Today I’m launching the first of an ongoing series of Ebay auctions to sell advertising space on TPN podcasts, starting with G’Day World. There are three advertising spaces available on G’Day World and more to come on other TPN podcasts over the course of this week.
Here’s an audio promo for the auctions.

A couple of months ago I turned up to a stencil art event in Melbourne with my video camera and shot some interviews for a video podcast. I interviewed a range of people attending the event, including artists, musicians, and guests.
I interviewed one interesting and charming young exhibiting artist from country Victoria who went by the tag of WHY?. If you live in Melbourne, you’ll see his paste-ups around the city.
I just found out today that WHY? tragically passed away in an automobile accident a couple of weeks ago. He was 21. More here.
He explained to me the motivation for his art as the desire to get people to stop for a moment, in the hustle-bustle of daily life, and ask themselves why things are the way they are.
If you see his art up around the city, stop for a moment and allow yourself the question. For Dan. WHY?

UPDATE: if you only got half a podcast, sorry folks, please try again. Looks like my ftp upload failed first time around.
Clarke Scott is a Melbourne guy who has just launched a series of sites (for the Australian, US and UK markets) to help people sell their used car. His hook? The listings are free. He talks about his inspiration for the site and his business model. Oh, he’s also a new TPN sponsor, so make sure you give him lots of link love. 🙂

Neilsen/NetRatings has released a report on podcasting which has left a lot of prominent podcasters, myself included, scratching their heads and makes me wonder where they got their sample data from. A company in Cupertino by any chance?
For example, they claim that the primary browser for podcasters (not podcast listeners) is Safari. Now, I know that if I take TPN’s hosts as a sample, about 10% of them are Mac users. And if I look at our server logs for June 2006, I know that 83.7% of our audience are Windows users, compared to 9.1% using a Mac. So, although I admit my sample is also pretty small, it doesn’t correlate with Neilsen’s.
Frank Barnako spoke to the analyst behind the report and has picked up some other issues with it as well. But, as Frank says,
When firms like Nielsen/NetRatings and Forrester Research pay attention to podcasts, that’s good. By studying podcasting they’re saying, "There’s interest here. People willing to pay for our reports want to know what’s going on."

TPN (that’s The Podcast Network for those of you new around here) needs a VP to head up our US operations. The main responsibilities will be to represent TPN to venture capitalists in the US and deal with advertisers. Should have experience in either media / tech start-ups / capital markets / advertising. Here’s the thing – I can’t pay you a salary. But you will get equity in TPN and a success fee. An ideal opportunity for someone who wants to be part of the new media space. We’re the only podcasting business of any significant size that hasn’t got investors, so we are ripe for the picking, but it’s impossible to work the US markets from Australia. I intend moving to the USA ASAP but can’t afford to do it at the moment. Email me if you’re interested in the position.
