Winer Curry Podcasting Mud fight

The Boston Globe has the story in print on Dave and Adams "who deserves the credit" debate.

Podcasting is not about one individual it's about a community of new content producers so I'm amused by the drama between two good guys.  Quite frankly I think it's getting old.   

In a previous post I've said before that Dave should get the credit for the work done to get podcasting in motion.  I need to add more to that post to be fair to Adam.  But Dave give me a break and leave Adam alone.  Adam deserves the credit for the 'real breakthrough' ...taking the lead on putting podcasting the on the commercial path.  Without Adam I believe that podcasting would not be where it is today.  Dave: it's a relay race and Adam sprinted from where you left off.  He rocked face it.

Dave: you both had a role so just lighten up will you.   Let's see who does what from here?  So far Adam is kicking ass.

Thanks for pointing out the article John. I think most people outside the struggle are finding the middle ground that Dave deserves credit but needs to quit whining that no one is kissing his boots anymore.

I find the end of article interesting though, predicting that podcasts will stop being free because iTunes is adding support (which makes little sense to me because the RSS feeds will continue to be freely available). I understand that none of us have seen how iTunes supports them, but it's seems a little paranoid to get so suspicious.
