To be fair to John, he used the NPR analogy in the context of his news component, which is only one of three areas he'll be targeting (see the three points I mentioend in post). And so perhaps I distorted things a bit by focusing on it in the headline. I did so because I thought it captured the essence of the "content" nature of this company. But I know he's trying to figure out how to go after the big marketing dollars from companies. ELS,

Just how profitable is NPR? Are the pledge drives just a sham to fatten up the profit margins? Is that what they pay bonuses out of? Or is "NPR of podcasting" just unfortunate rhetoric? Why would a “for profit” VC firm invest in the “NPR of podcasting”?

Just how profitable is NPR?

Are the pledge drives just a sham to fatten up the profit margins? Is that what they pay bonuses out of?

Or is “NPR of podcasting” just unfortunate rhetoric?

Or is this a hosting business with a podcast or a podcast with a hosting business?
