Is it too early to be tired of certain things related to podcasting? Maybe for some people but not for me. Here's what bothers me as of today.

• Husband/Wife or Boy/Girl podcasts. There are too many Dawn and Drew clones out there. They get two mikes together and talk dirty. Great stuff if you're a 14 year old who loves to hear foul language and sex jokes. I don't even like D&D so this trend is doubly annoying.
• Half cocked attempts at promoting some sort of podcasting related business. You know what I'm talking about. Some butt head puts out a free press release stating they've revolutionized podcasting or something like that. Then when you actually check it out, it's a complete joke. Simply annoying.
• Rob Costlow, Brother Love and that Podcast Song EVERYWHERE! First off, let me say that I was the first podcaster to feature Brother Love's music. I've also podcasted Rob Costlow. I've got no problem with any of these musicians. I do have a problem with the fact that so many podcasters have chosen to feature these cuts over the last few weeks. Can't people be original and search for other music instead of skimming tracks off the top of the Podsafe Music Network. There are plenty of other talented podsafe artists to play. Sadly, podcasting is treating music more like the traditional media does all the time.

I've got a few other gripes, but those are the big ones. You may not agree with me and that's cool. Just felt like I needed to speak my mind at this time.

***UPDATE***

Oh yeah, one more thing. I've had it with the Cafe Press crowd selling t-shirts hats and mugs with their podcast logos. Aren't there enough useless items of clothing in the world? I don't know why I'm so sensitive to this but I am. Selling t-shirts, hats and cups with the logo of some uploaded .jpg file does not constitute a business model. In fact it seems like a cheap way of making a buck. How many quality bloggers do you see selling this kind of stuff? None that I know of. Note to podcasters: If you really want to sell something, try adding value instead of taking the most obvious approach to a dollar. Your listeners will appreciate you for it.
