After last night's post about the Veramyst commercial, this gem shot from it:

Veramyst will help your allergies, however . . .

and the comment from a knowledgeable scientist, Geeka, I just need to know how this stuff works.

I don't want to know about the drug alone. That would be nice. But I also want to know how the FDA approves something that even the scientists that made the concoction can't figure out.

Does that mean that it is magic? Could it be considered a potion?

Seriously, is it simply good enough to say to someone . . . spray this up your nose and your allergies will stop? What happens when someone uses it and their eyeballs fall out?

Maybe it is covered by strong legalese like this:

"The way VERAMYST works is not entirely understood." - TV commercial

"However, the precise mechanism through which Veramyst affects allergy symptoms is not known." - Medical News Today (reads like a press release)

Both of these lines must have been written by GlaxoSmithKline's new counsel, Roberto Gonzales.

Betsy caught this as the fine makers of Veramyst state that they are not sure how their product works.

I wonder if this stuff got FDA approval?

It could be herbal and not need it. We stopped watching and paused the tv right when this popped up.

I usually don't respond to this type of stuff but this deserves another perspective . . . like one from me, the guy in question. Thanks to the friend that pointed this out. He also rips Scoble, so I am in good company.

My comment:

Okay, where do I begin. Dave, you and I are not strangers. We know each other from podcasting and have spoken on more than one occasion. We've both been at this podcast thing for a long time, you since Aug '04 and me since Nov '04, we've both got some perspective.

I respect your thoughts on my presentation, but I don't agree with you.

The presentation in question, "Leveraging your knowledge as a successful podcasting consultant" from PME 2006 was based on sharing my experience working for clients to produce podcasts from my basement. It was to help give a framework to those who wanted to make some extra bucks. Shit, I even give out my own business template for pricing and structure to those who attended and to those still asking for it.

Success, for me has been doing what I love, audio production, writing code and using my creativity in projects that pay me. Would you have me buy the argument that only "real" creativity comes from the absence of greenbacks?

In February of 2005 I opened my consulting company and two weeks later I had MTV as a client. Was it also bad that in my presentation I shared how I lost them as a client? Maybe the fact that I recommend to podcasters that they should talk to a business attorney and an IP attorney so that they can avoid pitfalls like libel or onerous contracts?

In my life, I too am trying to save for retirement, college for the kids and a safety net. If I can make a buck podcasting for other people . . . big or small to put toward them by making podcasting my day job it doesn't feel like I am punching the clock. It might mean that I am working "just another shit job" in my basement. However, it doesn't feel like a shit job. It feels like I am doing something that I love. That should account for something in the personal satisfaction category, I rank this job a 1.

You and I simply differ on how to make money podcasting. You like the advertising/sponsorship model and I prefer to both produce my own personal podcast and use my skills to make works for other people. My personal podcast has been delivered 3 times a week for 2 1/2 years with my wife every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Want to question my passion for podcasting?

On this, I'm not asking to debate this topic but simply recommending that if anyone is interested to hear the presentation in question head over to http://pa.gigavox.com/ and look for big goatee and bald head for the right session.

The bottom line for me is this is what someone who enjoyed both of our sessions had to say about them:

"Dave Slusher from Evil Genius Chronicles. When he speaks, Im there."

"Kris with Palegroove Studios gave the most honest, non sales pitch presentation on podcast consulting. He shared real world numbers, which is rare in this day and age."

Given our interactions in the past a comment about me like this shouldn't surprise me but as one podcaster to another, I'm sorry that you need to . . . wait, someone is asking for another mocha something, biab.

Back, I'll let the public decide if I am an evil prick trying to destroy "podcasting" by taking corporate money to work a shitty day job doing what I love from the comfort of my own home or if I got lucky and found a way for myself to make a living for family and our futures doing what I love from the comfort of my home . . . at my day job.

The interview will be live sometime in the next few weeks on the clients' sites after I edit it together and it goes through the proper channels for approval. I'll be sure to let you know when it does go up.

Also, I need to thank my partners at Room214, James and Jason, for believing that I could pull off this interview. Now the hard work begins making my voice sound like Don LaFontaine.
