What is Podcast Remix

As I go through podcasts this week to bring the first batch of reviews to the masses, I thought I would give more detail to the Podcast Remix. I want a space where people can get mostly objective reviews of podcasts that are currently out there. I think I get it most of the time and I have a varied taste when it comes to most things, so I know I can not only help listeners find what they are looking for, but hopefully give feedback to the producers.

What will be in the show:

Most podcasts big or small

A easy to understand ratings system (much like the star system for movies)

I will review the producer of the podcast as well as individual shows where it makes sense

I will try to be objective and constructive to help the podcast community

I will have fun and I hope you will too


What Will Not be in the show:

Commercial regurgitated content labeled "podcast" ie the Rush limbagh's of the world

Close minded opinions

Media limitations - in other words as the podcasting world evolves (possibly to video casts) I will evolve what I review

I will start with a mixed bag of big shows and small shows. I don't think I will have some type of formula to give equal time, but I will try to make a good mix of general content, popular shows and stuff that no one has heard yet.

Podcast Alley and other directories will be used to gather what's out there and I will include the PA ranking in each review since it seems like the only system out there that people are measuring. But like I said, I will continue to evolve as the genre does to make sure I am offering the best reviews and information on the podcasting world.

Enjoy and check back soon
