More on podshow

On today's DSC, Adam Curry interviews podshow biz partner Ron Bloom in Miami via Skype.

Bloom is talking about their new "node managers" when he goes into this description of what podshow is about...

BLOOM: They're hidden superstars of content. As the content makers and producers start to proliferate, the content editors, if you will, are really going to be the hidden superstars of the genre. And the secret producers who produce other talents.

CURRY: Yes.

BLOOM: The two groups are very much like what happened in the good times in radio and music is when you have great, as we used to say in the music business, "What makes a great producer?" and they used to say "A great band." So...

CURRY: Mmm-hmm.

BLOOM: So by matching these great editors and producers with just this great talent, I think we're going to see a proliferation of just fantastic podcasts.

CURRY: Poetry, man, that's just poetry.
