Bada Bing Bada Boom Amanda

Hard to come up with a funny title for this post. Of course the biggest news in podcasting today is that the pretty blonde goddess of the video podcast is parting ways with Rocketboom. Why? No-one really knows. But I guess it drives home to me a couple of points.

  1. New media brands can come and go quickly.
  2. What happens to the advertisers who had bought long-term contracts with Rocketboom?
  3. Who is representing the new talent? Is there an agency yet set up to represent their interests? We need standard contracts, etc. Think Creative Commons for the talent.

Whoever picks up Amanda will have the same burst of attention that PodTech got when they hired Scoble (check out the pretty graph). Snapping her up and offering her something big was clever. I think. But although she is a huge property today, will she be huge tomorrow? I don’t know yet how much stock to put in the idea of talent in this world. In the days of yore, big names were partially big because their employers controlled the airwaves and could limit how many talents got a guernsey. It was limited supply. Carson was Carson, partly because he was a huge talent, but partly because he didn’t have much competition. Today competition is limitless. Talent? Well I’ve known lots of people in my time who were talented but didn’t have distribution. Today they can all have distribution if they want it. It’ll be fascinating to see how this all pans out over the next decade. 

UPDATE: Andrew Baron’s (her partner) statement on why she left.

Best of TPN #007

I re-hydrated the Best Of TPN podcast today. The original idea was to select short clips from around TPN’s podcasts and put them out as a weekly show. It’s been dormant since October last year when the host gave up the ghost (hey I’m a poet) but I’m taking it over. If you want something done…

In this episode I’m featuring an interview with Chris Anderson editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and author of the Long Tail Blog from Ian Dixon on The Media Center Show #64 and a classic interview with George Clinton by Nui Te Koha on Nui’s Rave #006.

Mr Long Tail on TPN

Ian Dixon had Chris Anderson, editor-in-chief of Wired Magazine and author of the Long Tail Blog, on the most recent episode of The Media Center Show podcast. Definitely worth listening to if you’re interested in the business model of the long tail. Get it here. Lots of great examples and anecdotes. Great interview Ian!
