I listen to Kaneda, Special When Lite and TWIP. I enjoy all three. I don’t think there is anything wrong with someone speaking their mind. It’s a free country after all. That doesn’t mean you have to agree with every thing he says, but you can certainly respect his opinion. After all, if all three podcasts delivered the same material in the same manner then there would be no reason to listen to all three. In my opinion, that would be a bad thing!

I think the one thing some people who are critical of his efforts fail to see is that his primary profession is marketing. That entails creating hype, keeping products top of mind, keep products in the public’s eyes, etc. He’s just doing the same thing for himself (i.e., his personal product) and his podcast. It’s all intentional and with a purpose. I actually think he’s doing it with great success. I mean, look at all the discussion it generates. I think there is a saying that goes something like - any press is good press. I think in his mind that is the case here.
