That is so far from the truch.<BR/><BR/>Take a look at the grassroots podcasters who are contributing to panel sessions at PodcastCon this year and you'll see they're not all signed up to Podshow, they're not all interested in the money, and many of them represent the grassroots of podcasting through and through.<BR/><BR/>Next year's event will be in Birmingham. Hopefully you'll be able to make that. This year we're now in a position to offer some concessionary tickets that actually make the event cheaper than it was last year.<BR/><BR/>We are making an effort. All of us grassroots podcasters who've been here from the begining, have to recognise that lots of other types of people and podcasters are also interested in the space. Personally I think involving them all, makes for a more vibrant and dynamic event.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long comment. <BR/><BR/>AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
