The team here at RawVoice lives User Generated Content day in and day out. We understand the absolute power of the podcast medium, and we are in no way scared of the word Podcast.
Very sadly and disappointingly so, one company in the podcast space wants to distance themselves from the word podcast, and those that create user generated content.
Here at RawVoice we embrace podcasters, and the podcasting space. While we understand Audio and Video has been an integral part of the Internet for a long time, only in the past 4 years has it been possible to subscribe to highly focused content that you want to listen to with the added ability to listen or watch that content on your schedule and have that content automatically delivered to your portable media device.
The podcast medium is very strong and rapidly growing. RawVoice and our Podcast Communities and Podcast Networks continue to lead the way in the space by providing podcast creators the tools they say they need to grow their audiences, and measure who and where they are consuming that content.
RawVoice and our associated communities is the absolute best deal in the podcasting space, as we ensure podcast creators have the freedom to do what they do best and provide them opportunities without contracts and exclusivity.

RawVoice is a company that cares about podcasters and values their valuable contributions. RawVoice is here for the long haul and we will never scorn those that have made this space great!
It is also worth pointing out that, while Adam Curry made public promises to be more accessible, he has never followed through with those promises in any tangible way. I feel that reflects on Podshow (Mevio) as a business. When you do business with Mevio, you should keep in the back of your mind the fact that promises may be made and subsequently ignored when it comes to actually putting actions to words.
In contrast, Todd and the RawVoice gang have always been willing to reasonably accomodate accessibility requests from users with disabilities. Todd’s actions are far more demonstrative than the supposed public promises of others. Great going Todd and the RawVoice crew; keep up your great work in the podcasting community!
