iTunes Mints Podcasting Stars
Few podcasters are angered by the inconvenience -- they have, after all, gained hordes of new listeners -- but Apple's rollout had many wishing they had some notice beforehand. Paul Saurini, whose Denver-based Barefoot Radio podcast focuses largely on news items with some white-trash element to them, had to suddenly upgrade his server bandwidth package from $25 a month for 100 GB to a $300-a-month package for 1,200 GB after the new traffic exceeded his limit.
Yet while podcasts like Reid's Sex Talk and other early listers have dropped back from that pack, others have remained perennials in the rankings despite no prior following.
One is Cinecast, a movie show by a pair of Chicago film critics, only this time instead of Ebert and Roeper it's 30-year-olds Adam Kempenaar and Sam Hallgren. The show by Kempenaar, a web producer for the Chicago Blackhawks, and Hallgren, an intern at WBEZ-FM, was recommended on ex-MTV veejay and podcast pioneer Adam Curry's influential weekly Podfinder show in June and now has an estimated 50,000 subscribers.
