Would you pay to hear Ricky Gervais?
I have to admit that I haven’t kept up with The Ricky Gervais Show podcast as much as I wanted to. OK, I only started listening yesterday. In fact, yesterday was the first time I put any podcasts on my iPod. I’m catching up on Ricky Gervais now, and I’m already considering paying for the show when they start charging for the podcasts next week.
I have to wonder a bit about the logistics of paying for podcasts. If I’m getting it through Audible, is it really a true podcast? Also, I’m afraid I’m going to lose one of the best features of iTunes and podcasts, which is the fact that there’s generally something new waiting for me when I unplug my iPod to leave for work in the morning.
For $7 you’ll get four episodes, which isn’t a bad price, but it would be nice to get hour-long shows instead. A half hour of Karl Pilkington just goes by too fast.
The Uber Geeks have a good discussion going on the topic.
