I love that your called ethics.... :lol:

[Brian]

OK, I really thought this was another April Fools prank.

[yaz]

there we go, another homage paid to a brainless celebrity who is one because her grandfather got lucky and opened a what turned to be successful hotel chain, she is worthless and her sister is better looking...what talents does paris have anyway?

[Brian]

what talents does paris have anyway?

Yeah, like you haven't seen the video.

[carpmtv]

wait a minute? Paris Hilton in a podcast? Who wants to listen to her? If you can't see her, you can't put up with her.....and even then its hard....no pun intended........unless this is a videocast....j/k sort of

[yaz]

actually, i haven't, i don't watch porn...

[garybibb]

what talents does paris have anyway?

Yeah he obviously hasn't seen the vid. Either one for that matter.

Sure she's brainless but I'd drop some baby batter on her chin just to say I did.

[percent20]

I think it would be funny to listen to it.

[Brian]

Actually, something like this is a big bonus for podcasting as an exposure method, and also as a new way of using the medium. It's on the border between advertising and entertainment, becuase it's not completely advertising the House of Wax movie, but providing the entertainment aspect that has made paris' TV show such a success.

[yaz]

great, just what i want to listen to, an idiot go "ummmm" and "that's hot" for an hour at a time...to do that ill just talk to the stuck up pieces of crap at my university that think they're paris hilton...

[theFerf]

Podcast Now Approved: http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_detail.php?pod_id=2613

[yaz]

"that's hot"

[garybibb]

The Ferf approved her podcast because he thinks she's gonna give him some millionaire poontang.

Word of advice Ferfman, if you go to stick it in her pooper and she gives you the fish eye, it's nothing a good ole donkey punch won't take care of.

Best of luck with Paris.

[yaz]

ferf i hope you get some because bibb would be insanely jealous, he's such a girl sometimes...

[Cookiepuss]

Even if it is "good for podcasting". . .I think I would rather castrate myself with a butter knife than take the pain of listening to a Paris Hilton podcast.

:lol:

[yaz]

yea, i think your iq will drop a few points just during the download of that show...

[el]

me acidentaly klick on the promooo linck. me tired now.

[yaz]

oh great, we've lost el...

[el]

only jokin! had you there for a bit didn't i? someone needs to skype me so i can test out my voicemail for it...

[pdadave]

I am pretty sure if Paris is doing it, Britney Spears will want to as well. I heard this morning she is doing a reality show so people can really understand her life instead of "what the media says."

[indiekid]

i mean, as much as i hate this idea...it really will bring a lot of the mainstream to podcasts and when people start getting fed up with paris, they'll turn to the good stuff. i mean think about it...we could even see people turning away from the paris hilton podcasts and start listening to father roderick lol

[jeffoest]

LOL - just what we all are so interested in - understanding Britney's life... well, maybe the 14-years olds are still into her. Dunno - are they? Or is she too 3-years ago?

[jawbone]

Has anyone listened to this piece of ****? At least it's only five minutes of complete emptiness instead of an hour. The last 3 minutes is nothing but lame screaming fans.

"You go girl with the House of Wax!!"

Thank you, planted woman from the Studio.

She also sounds really glad to be there. And by glad I mean not the least bit interested.

[alissa]

'this is what we have to do'

i have to disagree. drawing a lot of publicity to a really bad podcast will not draw more listeners.

[Brian]

I retract my earlier "this could be good for podcasting" statement.

Totally vapid.

And it looks like BoKu got the exclusive on this one.

[theFerf]

drawing a lot of publicity to a really bad podcast will not draw more listeners.

It depends on how they find the podcast in my opinion. If they find the podcast on the podcast alley website, I think through the podcasters that frequent this site, the forum, the podcast features, news, top 10s,etc ... that most people wont judge all of podcasting by one podcast.

Lets hope they feel comfortable enough with the directory or site that they hit that we can KEEP thier ears for a bit. my 2 cents.

[mental-escher]

So podcast alley has finally sold out... sigh.

Is it possible to have a commercial free medium?

(wimper, sob, cry....)

<removes knife from back>

Wow, all this time I thought I was helping the community by finding ways to raise a little dough to keep this site open, but I guess I have sold out and might as well close this site and cancel my internet connection.

[mental-escher]

Geez, don't take it personally... I should have put the (now seems obligitory) SARCASM waver in my post :?

[mental-escher]

Please don't tell me flashy banner ads and pop ups are next though Yeeeeeee-iiiiiikes!

[theFerf]

i dont see the benefit of pop ups (at least for ads ... i like them for the player, voting, etc) and dont see adding them here.

PS >mental-escher: I know you werent too serious when talking about selling out, but i do take this personally, of course, b/c this is something i have developed from the ground up by myself (the site, not the content ... the podcasters do that :) )

Im helping podcasters and listeners hook up in the easiest way possible. Thats my mission.

[alissa]

i like how there's a little box saying how ph is a 'sponsored' featured podcast :)

slick.

[Craig]

Can we pay you the equivalent of what Warner Brothers paid you NOT to have Paris be a featured podcast? (I'm only half joking.)

Craig

[360thePitch]

The irony of all of this is that, despite the number of witty remarks about how shallow and mind-numbing the show will be, the Paris Hilton podcast will likely be the most-listened-to show over the next week.

Everyone will check it out, criticize it to hell, but know all about the show, all about the movie and give Warner Brothers what they want: publicity -- for better or worse.

There's no shame in this. I'm curious, too. I just think it should be acknowledged before everyone climbs on top of their high horse.

Yeh, and you're doing a great job- sorry if my comment tweeked you.

However, when "podcasts" are nothing more than another marketing gimmick for a commercial TV/radio/political/whatever, it seems that the term "podcast" is somehow inappropriate- how about just calling it an audio ad? (again, this is a rhetorical comment!).

The irony of all of this is that, despite the number of witty remarks about how shallow and mind-numbing the show will be, the Paris Hilton podcast will likely be the most-listened-to show over the next week.

And yes, it would be sad (?, or maybe telling) but almost predictable that PH is the next #1 cast. Hang on, I think I just fell off my high horse- Ouch!

paris hilton is to humanity what the dingo is to babies in australia...

[theFerf]

she eats humanity?

[Brian]

she eats humanity?

Come on. You act like you never saw the video that circulated around last year...

[PupuStudios]

I think a requirement for producing a 'podcast' or to the rest of us a 'timmy'... you really have to be active in SOME sort of podcasting community. Not your agent, or your marketing team... but the actual podcaster. I could be wrong.

Here's how I visualized it going down:
to Paris, "Here's a new phenomenon, 'podcasting'... what we need you to do for free publicity is record EXACTLY 5 minutes of whatever you're 'thinking' (note the amount of silence in her podcast) into this small tape recorder. No... it's a tape recorder... you push the button on the top... yeah... and talk into the.... what? jesus, you're f*cking retarded... NO THE BIG RED BUTTON ON THE TOP! I'm done..." great.

God I hate this country...

[paul]

she eats humanity?

haha...i think she might.

don't sweat making a few bucks ferf-man. You deserve it.

[paul]

I see your points, but think about it...she will bring people to podcasting that haven't been into podcasting. more people will hear about it and check it out.

[Brian]

Heh. Anyone else notice one of the last lines in the Featured/Sponsor ad on the the Alley's main site?

It says "I Want My Paris Hilton Podcast"

Almost sounds like the tagline from a certain cable music channel in the 80's.

[robaustin]

After listening to her podcast I was like "that's it?" I didn't find it interesting in the least. She didn't describe the Green Room for us, she didn't describe the line that she went out to sign for. How about a little insight for us schmoes who DON'T know what the Green room looks like? Is there a cheap worn out couch? Don't they put food in there - was it cheap or was it caviar? Who else was in there? Or how about the line? Or wherever else you are. But all she could say was how "boring" it was. Maybe boring to her - but to someone listening - who has never been there - it'd be pretty exiciting to be there. Remember "theater of the mind"? Folks who are podcasting right now - most use the audio medium to their advantage.

For example Dan Klass' description of his CSI promo shoot was great because of his descriptions of the locale. He set the stage so well. Madge going out to Target was great because she described some of the people she saw. If you've ever listened to Herro Flom Japan - Rich Pav gives great description which goes so well along with the sounds we hear of him out and about. When I think about all the great podcasts I listen to - the ones that are not music based - they all use that "theater of the mind" to great success.

Paris just wandered around with no description at all. BORING. She thouight it was boring, so it was boring to us. I think she's used to the video/film medium and is not thinking about how we're not seeing everything.

I think people are going to listen to it - especially if they've never heard a podcast before - and go "what's the big deal?" Is that the impression that should be created of podcasting?

[vikingyouth]

you know what would be a great Paris Hilton podcast? is if some socialist terrorist group kidnapped her & while holding her for ransom, locked her in their closet, didn't feed her for a month, made her take the name of che gueverra's wife, and then had her help them in a series of bank robberies in order to redistribute wealth to the poor. and she reports it all back daily on her podcast.

of course then we might realize she was never brainwashed at all in the first place.

now that would be a paris podcast worth checking out.

Wait a second. Paris has a Green Room, too? That little poseur stole our premise! I DEMAND compensation in the form of 10% out of the back end of House of Wax! And animation rights for the House of Wax cartoon.

[jawbone]

I see your points, but think about it...she will bring people to podcasting that haven't been into podcasting. more people will hear about it and check it out.

And they will think it's a joke. If it were well-produced and had some semblance of decent content, then maybe it would make some ripples. She didn't even talk about making the movie. Just that "it's a great film."

This podcast reminded me of those movie tie-in toys from McDonalds or Taco Bell that end up collecting dust on your desk until they are shoved into a giveaway bag for Ethtopian children.

[jeffoest]

Disclaimer: I haven't heard the podcast.

What makes me have no interest is that the podcast is in support of a movie - in other words it's an advertisement. If Paris Hilton (or any celebrity really) would have a podcast that is personal or not in support of a movie I could see myself checking it out. But I'm just not compelled to download advertising for what seems like a lousy movie that I wouldn't end up seeing anyways.

[shepdave]

Wow.

Just heard it. It's inoffensive, slight, minor... People will listen to it in droves because of PH, and they'll possibly assume all podcasts are inoffensive, slight, minor. No content at all. A bunch of people yelling at her to get her autograph, a very slick jingle, and at least one bleep, which shows that it went through a layer of "editing."

I do have to agree it was boring. I don't have anything particularly against Paris Hilton, but this is about little more than hearing her voice rambling into a microphone.

Yes, but we can still give the listeners the benefit of the doubt. They will realize right away how open-ended podcasting can be.

Look Jawbone/Jeff..I already left scathing comments for her. I mean...I ****in hate paris hilton, that idea of a socialist terrorist group kidnapping her made me laugh out loud...(not that I haven't enjoyed her movie).

I also think we all need to reflect on the idea that "there is no such thing as bad publicity," in this case pubs for podcasting.

I agree with you all but I think you're being a little short-sighted.

[jawbone]

Paul, you're right. Maybe I am being a bit short sighted. But as a creative person, I'm always looking for that "**** I wish I would have produced that" feeling when I'm looking at other people's work. That sets the bar for me personally, and also helps move the whole medium forward, whether it be advertising, movies. podcasts whatever.

I just wish they would have spent some time on the production of this inherently highly public cast and not just tossed out a shitty show that won't excite or ignite anyone except in a negative way.

[jeffoest]

Yea, I definitely agree too. I say the more popular podcasts, the better. I'm sure it will "trickle down" to us in time. I'm just saying the content/descriptionof this particular podcast doesn't draw me in - but of course, I'm not in the target demographic for the movie either and I understand that.

Yeah Jeff. I feel a song coming on about Paris and her Poopy Podcast.

I woke up with 'i just want to be a podcast-stah-ah ah ar in my head this mornin.

[jeffoest]

Star - ar-ar-ar! LOL

Actually I had a great song in my head this week about John Bolton but I just couldn't make it happen - it was a work beating week and it takes so much energy that is sometimes hard to find at night.....

And there is so little to really say about her...
I viewed some other forums where they only blame this and that... but honestly there no need to spend our precious time in these chats...
I was wondering recently if you know guys any way to participate as a figurant in any movie in Paris... as I am here and as they shot movies quite frequently.. I 've heard they pay quite well...
any idea where to look for ?
