Steve Gillmor and the Gang Leaving Podshow?

November 12, 2006 |

The latest Gillmor Gang must have ended in some kind of fiasco we listeners will never hear about (and even Jason Calacanis has been quiet about it - though I gather he wasn’t on the show anymore when all hell broke loose), but Dana Gardner today spills some other beans that hint at some potential reasons why Steve Gillmor might have been unhappy with the direction the Gang was taking:

An exclusive content model is anathema to blogging, to the Cluetrain Manifesto, to the bazaar vs. cathedral. I’m pretty sure this is why Steve Gillmor is so unhappy doing Gillmor Gang at Podshow, and why that show may be history, at least at that venue. Steve should have gone indy after IT Conversations, no doubt. Learn from his mistake.

I don’t know why Gillmor would be unhappy with Podshow - I can see why Podshow would like Gillmor to do some fresh ads, though. Anyway - just thought I would point out what Dana Gardner had to say about this.

Producing a show with a number of regular participants is hard work - that’s why I never do it. However, it is worth the effort in the end. The Gillmor Gang was my Monday to Wednesday morning commute listening material. Don’t take it away.

Somehow, in the back of my mind, I think (hope?) the show will continue and Steve is just creating some extra hype around it…

    There won’t be a next time… unless there is a next time.
