Cinecast Gets Wired
In an article on Wired.com entitled iTunes Mints Podcasting Stars, writer Steve Friess reports on the mixed blessings that the iTunes podcasting launch has brought to many "mom and pop" podcasters. On page 2 of the article, Friess uses Cinecast to illustrate the surprising phenomenon of shows that have "remained perennials in the (iTunes) rankings despite no prior following." As I type, Cinecast is currently ranked #20 on iTunes list of "Top Podcasts."
Thanks to Friess and Wired.com for the exposure!
Cinecast #22 will be up tonight. We'll review "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Wedding Crashers," and count down our Top 5 Screen Duos.

Despite no prior following?
Apple invented podcasting don'tcha know!
PLEASE USE THE WORD GRAVITAS 50 TIMES! THATLL BE THE TRADEMARK!!!!
heh. That's pretty funny. The show does have a lot of gravitas. ;)
what times the show gonna be up? its already 8:30...
By 10 pm CT at the latest. (Sorry, this was an unusual weekend.)
Wired should eat their words. I would argue you guys had a following before iTunes.
Just because Steve Friess wasn't around to listen to Cinecast doesn't mean it didn't exist.
You guys are doing a great job!

Thanks, Rick. I thought this might ruffle a few feathers among those who have been with us for a while. But I think his general point is a valid one. We've gone from hundreds of subscribers to tens of thousands of subscribers in less than a month... primarily due to iTunes. So in a relative sense, you could say we didn't have a "following."
So would those of us from the great Before be acolytes or groupies?
