Subscriptions work? $1,800 in donations during live podcast

I'd like to see more content producers adopt this model. As a long time TWiST fan, I gladly donated.<p>I actually wrote a short blog post about this model and twistlist.co a few hours ago: <a href="http://ryanhoover.me/post/4768633874/please-take-my-money-mr-content-producer" rel="nofollow">http://ryanhoover.me/post/4768633874/please-take-my-money-mr...</a> /unashamedplug

I wonder how many of those people thought they were donating to Leo Laporte, due to the sleazy use of the "This Week In . . . " branding for a similar network doing similar content in a similar medium.

1. 3 of Leo's shows were named This Week In when I bought the domain. 17 were named like MacBreak Weekly or other naming conventions. 2. I offered Leo the domain before I bought it--he told me he wanted me to buy it and he didn't want to waste the money. 3. I offered Leo to split the purchase of the domain--he declined. 4. Leo said go for it 5x on the air and in email. 5. I offered leo to use the domain as a directory of all the TWI named shows in the world. 6. Despite all that I still regret doing it because I lost the friendship with Leo. 7. I hope we can resolve the issue, but Leo has not been willing to discuss that.

Isn't a podcast, by definition, not live?
