The big thing this book appears to have going for it is that its audience has a defined set of interests. That\u2019s important, since magazines that are specific to a single technology tend not to last very long. But I wonder about the business model. Not many vendors sell products specifically to bloggers\/podcasters and the target readers tend to find tools of the trade for free where they can. They don\u2019t have big budgets. Also, while bloggers\/podcasters have a medium in common, they don\u2019t share much else. The similarities between me and the guy who writes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/\">Daily Kos<\/a> are few. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">On first look, I can&#8217;t see much reason why this magazine should last very long, but I give credit to the publisher for giving it a try. You never know when you might hit it big.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogger &#038; Podcaster magazine has launched simultaneously in print, online and as a podcast.
