You know, though I’ve only watched the new Superman twice, I didn’t find him creepy. Oh ok, sure, peeping through the wall at Lois, I guess that might have some creep value, but hey the guy lost out on the woman of his dreams because he was outta town. That’s gotta sit roughly, even with a superman.

In answer to your question, as to how to better choose something new...I - have - no - idea. But if you figure it out, I bet you can use that to better sell your own books/stories. I suppose I do have one idea: Word-of-mouth. But we already knew THAT.

I think it all goes to wanting to read a certain kind of book. When we have read something enjoyable, we want to recreate that experience again, though we don't want it to be the same. Seeking that out can lead to dissapointment, and I have many times gone bookless for a while debating what to read next. This has also led to many re-reads of favorites. That said, it is very fulfilling when you read something you wouldn't have normally, only to find that it is INCREDIBLE. For instance with "Song of Ice & Fire" (isn't there a handy acronym to use? SoIF?) I wanted swords and sorcery. <to be continued...>

Well it's not that it's too long, it just might be longer than the availability of the average listener. I figure it's better to leave your audience wanting more than the alternative. One of the great things about the Writing Excuses podcast is that it is SO short, you almost never have an excuse that you can't listen to it.
If they go to a pay-per-view model, they better get more content. As it is, I would never pay for what they have. Unless there just so happened to be something on that I really wanted to see. Yeah, I really don't get why the networks don't have all of their content online. If they got paid for it already and can eke out a little more from advertising dollars online, what's wrong with that? Why limit it? I think with the lower resolution, true fans will ALWAYS go for the DVD series compilations, so it's not like they need to limit it to avoid fans not purchasing the DVD seasons. But hey, I'm not a network exec, so I guess I don't know anything ;-). They know all...we are mere mortals trying not to trip on our brutish dangling arms as we walk.

Seems like 99¢ should work just fine for TV shows. $1.99 seems nice too, but then I don't buy TV, I either watch it streaming on the network websites or HULU, or I don't watch it - because we don't have cable and we don't get reception...currently.
Good podcast overall. A bit long for my taste. I usually write on the way to work in the morning, so listening and typing don't really work. If you haven't checked out the Writing Excuses podcasts yet I'd recommend them. Part of their great appeal is that they are so short. They keep it to about 15 minutes which makes a listen very easy. If you like the longer format perhaps you could have a mix of both short and long?
