Even though we have repeatedly made ourselves available to various media outlets to talk about the increasingly popular IMAO Podcast (averaging 716 downloads per day as of July 19, 2005), I read a huge article in today’s Wall Street Journal on how “popular” and profitable X-rated podcasts are becoming.
Podcasting was a curiosity to the mainstream media three months ago when drag queens, wannabe DJs, and Hollywood has-been comedians with recycled NPR shows started posting MP3s online for the iPod crowd. Now the mainstream media heaps high praise on sex talk from husky-voiced overweight women and how condom companies are sponsoring podcasts by “performance artists” who can’t string together a complete sentence without an obscenity.
Thanks for forcing the new genre of porncasting on Americans, mainstream media. The dumb people in the flyover Middle America states really appreciate it.
Here’s a suggestion: Force the IMAO Podcast on the mainstream media. The writer of the WSJ porncast article is Vauhini Vara. Let’s see if Vara would be interested in having all of the IMAO Fans e-mail vauhini.vara@wsj.com to extoll the virtues of the IMAO Podcast because it:
- Is “work safe” comedy
- Appeals to a broad audience
- Lessens flu symptoms
- Sounds totally unlike any other podcast available on iTunes
- Has a growing number of fans (downloads have steadily grown to an average of 700+ per day in a matter of weeks)
- Can be used to clean stubborn stains on upholstered surfaces
- Stars a pretty blond girl that sings
Please e-mail Vauhini Vara at the WSJ <a href=”mailto:THISISSPAMTHISISSPAMenty of action.
UPDATE: If you e-mail the WSJ and Vara blows you off, e-mail us to let us know! If Vara dains you worthy of a reply, e-mail us that too.
We’ll post the best replies/non-replies from IMAO Fans on the blog and talk about it in the podcast.
