kickstarter? (Score: 0) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-12-04 17:37 (#2VK4) In the article, he does the numbers and concludes that there aren't enough serious podcasters to support "pro" quality podcast-creation software, at USD $200/copy. However, there are lots of listeners, millions according to the earlier article linked. What if the podcasters all asked their listeners to donate a buck to a kickstarter so that they could waste less time doing audio gymnastics and more time generating interesting shows. Set the goal high and promise a few versions on the initial funding so there is enough time and feedback to work out the major bugs and give it a decent user interface. Offer the resulting software at a very low price ($10-20?) to raise the quality bar for everyone (creators and listeners).
