Jeffrey, you couldn´t be more accurate on your comparison, no mather how different Podtech and Blip are. Podtech people, think about this: if anyone on this list had a similar job offer (or whatever offer…) from both companies, who do you think we would trust more? And maybe

Personally, I don't like the idea of an awards show at all. Last year I tried to argue that point but it was clear that so many people wanted one and that PodTech was determined to put one on that I tried to help make it good by offering suggestions and by being a judge. The main factor that had

I strongly agree with this. I realize it's business as usual for more traditional media businesses to use award shows as a way to scratch the backs of their VIPs and biggest stakeholders, but I find something like that entirely disingenuous in the case of PodTech and the Vloggies. Not only

For what it's worth, Freetime is profoundly unpopular, and we still won a People's Choice for Best Documentary, so this isn't necessarily true. Also, having the Vloggy definitely improved our viewership, as we went from being completely unknown to being only moderately unknown. -- Rhett.
