Podcasting via Satellite
Adam Curry has announced that his new venture, Podshow, has struck a deal with Sirius Satellite to broadcast "four hours of podcasting every single day" on channel 148. The quote is from Curry's Daily Source Code for May 2.
There's more at Podcasting News. I'm not sure whether the new Sirius show will also be distributed as a podcast. If not, it would seem to defeat podcasting's aim of cheap and easy distribution. There's no doubt, however, that the Sirius show will serve to promote podcasting. "Anyone can send in your podcasts or your promo," Curry said on the Daily Source Code. "We're going to open up a couple of ways to do it." Curry promised details "in the next couple days."
I expect a lot of the content will come from Podshow's "podcasting stars," some of whom were announced on the April 29 Source Code. They include Dawn and Drew, Michael Butler, Madge Weinstein, the Skinny on Sports, and Steve Gillmor of IT Conversations.
Even without any podcasting lawyers in the lineup, it's big news for Curry. Just don't tell Professor Althouse.
UPDATE: A report from the New York Times.
