Maybe It’s Time To Stop

With the economy in the toilet, lots of companies are experiencing layoffs and downsizing. Even big entertainment networks (in the podcasting realm of things) like Revision3 are having problems and needing to downsize:
We’ve had a number of great successes here at Revision3, including Diggnation, Tekzilla and The Totally Rad Show. But not everything pans out. Just as in the past, when we ended shows that just weren’t building audiences or driving revenue, we had to make changes. As you may have heard, today we had to make some tough staffing decisions as we ended the run of a few of our shows.
Reading on the Revision3 forums about it, people are calling the death of Revision3 and asking when they’re going to change their name to RevisionG4.
But if a large, successful and well-funded podcast company is having trouble keeping things going, how in the hell is a tiny independent studio supposed to do any better? I’m burned out on podcasting and with doing anything with the studio. Hell, once Tim’s done with school, Pink Ninja Studios may just evolve into the entity we first envisioned it to be: a joint design company. Podcasting, especially audio-only podcasting, is dead. The shows that are left are done because they’re fun and with nobody looking to do anything new at the moment, things are going to eventually slow down to the point where there’s nothing new going out. And honestly, I’m not too upset over it.
Our lives have gotten too damn busy to keep things up to the level they had been and things have seemed to have run their course. Not saying things will be done tomorrow, just that my priorities have drastically changed.
