I posted a response to Steve Gillmor’s post in his comments, but they are moderated. Instead of refreshing to see if he allows it through, I’ve posted a copy here.
Steve,
I would like to correct you on a few things.
Gillmor Gang was not ‘cancelled’, in fact there is no such thing as a cancellation in our Sirius Satellite rotation. Our 4 hour block is intended to show as many sides of podcasting as possible, highlighting all kinds of programming, not necessarily from our own network. There is a rotation of programming that delivers on that promise. A number of slots in this rotation are reserved for recurring programming.
The Gang had its own slot, as did Gillmor Daily *because* of the amazing talent on these shows, including yourself.
The Sirius distribution model however, is an old fashioned one of linear nature, complete with time restrictions and deadlines for delivery of programming.
As you know the Daily shows were removed from the lineup long ago due to lack of timely delivery, if at all. Unfortunately, the Gillmor Gang fell prey to the exact same problem. Repeats are unacceptable and unnecessary.
It is your sole responsibility to produce and deliver your programming, as is the content of the programming.
If you can demonstrate consistent, timely delivery of the Gillmor Gang, it will be welcomed with open arms into Sirius rotation.
The same is true for Gillmor Daily.
If organization of the talent for each show is a barrier, then you should consider compensating your Gang members.
The production budget for your programming is considerably larger than that of a daily 4 hour satellite radio program, I suggest you allocate a portion of it towards ‘talent booking’ or production assistance.
Give the Audience the respect it deserves.

Steve Gillmor is a bloated full of himself babbler. I noted it shortly in my drawing here and look what Steve writes:
the Gang on Sirius is one of the best shows on that network
Eh, what? What network? Gang is the best show on Sirius? What a bullshit: Howard Stern and Jay Thomas and countless others are better. Gang is the best show in podshow network? Dunno, I don’t listen mucht but at least Yoshimoto-Nemcoff and Dawn and Drew are more interesting than this full of himself Steve.
And Steve instead of being unbiased and giving all opportunity to all sides is letting Jason Calanis to spout hatred on Gang’s podcast. Remember: Jason has stolen my drawing, removed copyright, placed on his server and now he is trying to bring down Digg.com and pretends that he and Kevin Rose are friends even!
Good to see Adam, that you (or Podshow) are taking some decisions. Also your argument that Sirius window is for all podcasters, not just for podshow-associated is spot on.
PS. still no Internet streaming of Podshow sirius show!!! Too bad.
