What the conniption is going on over at the Podshow silo? Since when is not providing complete descriptions of shows or show notes acceptable? I wanted to find out what Trucker Tom was up to on his last few shows and all I see are a few words in the show description followed by ellipses. I zoomed over to iTunes and the show description fields are incomplete over there too.
After playing with open standards for a couple of years, it seems the spicy curry from which Podshow was formed has been re-worked by an American family restaurant. Too bad. And too bad for some of the good shows over there that now have their show notes and extra features neutered by a dysfunctional, glam site. Is this what you wanted Mr. Gillmor Gang? (I would link to you but, well, you know...) Shame on you Doc Searls for taking part in this bland reinvention of American radio. Welcome to Myspacification 2.0.

Hey Brad, are you sure you
Hey Brad, are you sure you've got your facts right? We're publishing the full descriptions.

Thanks for the feedback and it's good to know that Podshow is tracking blog feedback.
I've gone back and checked -- sometimes they're there and sometimes they're not. I'm willing to accept that it may be inconsistency in entering the data.
My point is this; why is it so hard to find show notes and descriptions? They should be front and center. It takes too many clicks to get show info.
