I distincly do not like commercials in any podcast or broadcast and I would have gladly paid a yearly subscription if it avoided commercials. If you were selling played songs/albums on your site, I would often buy them there if it would help with costs of producing the show. As it stands now, none of the Alligator recordings, including your iMix links are available on the Canadian iTunes site (I can't purchase from the US site becuase oif my credit card address), so I can't purchase many of the tracks featured on your podcasts. (I have emailed Alligaor about this, but so far no response). I will have to get used to your somewhat "commercialized" Roadhouse now and if you ever offer paid, commericals free podcasts, I'll be 1st in line.

We will be including Tony and clips from The Roadhouse on Podshow music Rewind, which also airs on Sirius. This will help countless blues artists to get instant exposure to a nationwide audience. Like Tony's, my show revolved around the artists and the music they perform for our entertainment and enjoyment. I think you'll find that to be true among all of the Podshow Music podcasts. As a regular subscriber and huge fan myself, I am pleased to have a great show like The Roadhouse in the same group that I am lucky enough to be in.

Great move in my book. As for the nay-sayers walk a mile in his shoes. Create 49 Superb shows then explaine why you can't donate your tips. Can't wait for 50 even if it has some ads. Keep up the good work and don't let the jerks get you down... Given the choice I would have “sold my soul to the devil” as I have heard it called. Great move in my book.

I suspected as much, based on the hints and what I see happening at Podshow. IMHO, this just legitimizes your show as one of (if not the!) most professional podcast out there. I never hesitate to recommend your show as an introduction to podcasting, even if the listener isn't a blues fan. You simply have the passion for the blues and your show, and it shines through clear as day. Ignore the naysayers, they simply don't understand how big this is going to get. After listening to every one of your shows, I find the idea of you "selling out" laughable! Run the ads you need to run to keep the show alive. I've bought a lot of CD's as a result of exposure on your show - and the artists that we love get the benefit! Make the ads relevant, and sales will result. CONGRATS!!!! Fantastic news, Tony!

Run the ads you need to run to keep the show alive. I’ve bought a lot of CD’s as a result of exposure on your show – and the artists that we love get the benefit! Make the ads relevant, and sales will result.

CONGRATS!

I did see the writing on the wall, and will trust in you to "keep the faith" and continue to produce a great show that I look forward to each and every week. Fair winds and following seas. Tryg Tony,

I'm sorry to see nay-sayers (hello, Donna and Jim) are giving you a hard time. I think it's the same impulse that the first wave of any group's fans have: to claim that their personal favorites, their "personal discoveries," have "sold out" because they've reached a tangible level of success. I can't count the number of times I've heard that sort of mewling from early fans of groups I saw during their "small club days" that went on to tremendous success (The Cars and Cheap Trick come to mind immediately). People play music and podcast, first and foremost, because they love what they're doing. If their efforts lead to financial rewards, I think it's small-minded and ridiculous to begrudge people their success. Soooooooo ... keep up the great work - and stop by for a drink sometime.

Only one person in the blues sold his soul, and that was Robert Johnson, not Tony Stiedler-Dennison, and it brought him greatness. . .so who knows. Just keep the good music coming. the show is fantastic and I expect it will stay that way. aloha, Steve Tony, I believe everything is gonna be great.

I have a contract in my hand (literally) that says I retain complete control of the show - ownership, creative and discretion on advertising. There's no rider to bar advertising beyond the term of the contract. There's nothing - *nothing* - in the contract as you've described. It's interesting that folks would believe me to be so naieve as to sell my soul. It hasn't happened here, and it ain't gonna happen. Jim, I really don’t know where this stuff comes from.

If you can hit the download marks to make some money maybe you will make a 100 bucks or so a month is it worth signing your soul over to him.
