I’m sure it was recorded on somebody’s yacht. I’m embarrassed to say I had to look up “podcasting” on the wikipedia, and further embarrassed to say I’d never heard of the wikipedia until I installed Firefox on my little tablet. Someday I hope to reach the 21st century. It would be like reaching the second childhood of adulthood somehow.

Todd, you knew people were going to have fun with it, didn’t you? :) As for the Marqui pricing, they have to pay you bloggers somehow. :)

Nice spin did not even cross my mind that you guys would label it a Infomercial :) in all honesty I tried to ask sincere questions. (Put them together in about 15 minutes Sunday evening) If I had thought of that spin I would have had some fun with Stephen. But if you listen to what he has to say their are some gems in their for bloggers mid way through the interview. I should have went after the small business angle a little more. But I think they are starting to realize they are missing a huge customer base with the way their product is currently priced.

I haven’t listened to it yet- you mean there’s no Ginzu knives?

Yeah, but to be a real infomercial, shouldn’t there be an audience that complains until the price is lowered and the presenter throws in a 6 piece steak knife set and a miracle chamois?

I’ve listened to Todd’s podcast for the past few weeks and you’re right on: he is completely up front about being paid to blog from Marqui. I give him credit for still speaking his mind and not being constrained by Marqui…class act by an honest podcaster.
