Kongrats to Kris with a K
23 Oct 2007 in Podcasting by GarrickSince the beginning of podcasting I’ve looked to Kris Smith to make a go of it professionally in a way that feels right (selling services) verses some of the smarmier approaches I’ve seen (CPM, shoehorning the broadcast network model).
Today, Kris announced he’s leaving Room 214, the marketing firm he joined at the beginning of the year.
There’s a conversation started about re-invorgating podcast-o-land - and I’d keep an eye on Kris if you want to see how it’s done in a smart way.

Is ad supported media a bad thing? There are only so many ways one can make a living creating content.

And someday when it is all said and done I might be able to get something on my headstone like, “done in a smart way”.
@ed - who is that handsome bald devil in that video?
