Friend-Os... Some of you may have seen some things floating around the internet regarding the dissolution of the business relationship between Don Geronimo and the RELM Network. A link to the statement by Buzz and Marc and Lowell Melser is below - but before you listen, I want to say the following: In all of my dealings with Buzz and Marc - first when they were at TMOS and then later as we started talking about my doing a podcast at RELM, they have always been both professional and supportive (as well as friendly and upbeat). Theyre trying to build a business--which is ultimately about putting products in the marketplace that people will consume. That means an attention to quality. The idea, at a minimum, that RELM would do anything to undercut a network hosts ability to provide a quality show is laughable--especially someone who would serve as a networks marquee. The reality is very simple - Ive had the discussion with a number of you over the years about the relative merits of producing an on-demand podcast versus real-time streaming. Ive long-maintained that the benefits far outweigh the detriments (most-especially when it comes to the audio quality, or lack-thereof, of streaming). For the most part, in order to produce a consistent stream, youre talking about severely stepping-down the audio quality. And if youre taking great pains to produce a show that sounds professional, why would you do something that makes it sound like garbage? Especially when only a fraction of your audience is going to be listening live anyway? Were moving towards on-demand and time-shifting, people. Its the nature of entertainment.
