Yes I am a contractor at Podtech. I'm not an employee, and I don't speak for them, nor do they speak for me. It's very likely that he is working under a similar agreement. And if his contract is anything like mine there are very few circumstances where they can say anything about his content. And frankly I wouldn't want them to. I don't believe in censorship. I don't know if he has a "billing" above me or below me. Hard to tell. And hardly relevant. I have no control how my content is placed on their site, and I don't really care, to be honest. I get most of my traffic through my own channels. Although I'm pretty sure that my content takes a lot more time thought and resources that his to produce, and as a result is more entertaining and interesting to watch. But thats hardly relevant either.
I never found anything in his schtick all that funny or compelling. I really don't think anything he's said is worth all the attention he's gotten here. I don't know because I rarely if ever watch his stuff. As near as I can tell his expertise is pretty much just bomb throwing. Which isn't really much of a skill if you ask me. It's really not that hard to turn on a web cam and say some stupid shit to get people all pissed off. My point is that he's pretty irrelevant. Not worth the time at all to discuss anything he says. He's just another dude with a web cam and an opinion. Just ignore him, you'll feel better, and he'll continue on in obscurity.
