Are You Sirius?

So the NYT says Adam Curry is getting his own podcasting gig on Sirius . . .

I guess that's all well and good but I have this feeling that someone's given in (notice I didn't say "sold out") to the established media a little early.

I can see why not the notion of user-contributed radio is going to resonate. It's a neat idea and something completely different.

That said, the other half of the magic of podcasting is that anyone with minimal audio production facilities and a blog can do it and it's not the usual mass media routine. That's a lot of what I like about podcasting in the first place.

So, why jump back in bed with broadcast media right away? I don't care if it is the cool end of it.
