That contract is gross. Aside from any benefits Keith and Chemda get from being listed on the Podshow website for free, it's just tainted by the dispicable business practices the Podshow engages in.
The monthly bonuses are retarded. Why even bother with a $40 bonus? That just shows how low on the spectrum this podshow compensation package falls compared to other media outlets.
Podshow makes a sizable investment in their shows? Bullshit. They're taking on an existing show. All they're doing is some basic housekeeping by moving the show to their network, and we all know that the costs associated with this are minor. They spend nothing on research, show development, etc. They make almost no investment in the show.
Termination of a contract via email? Pussies. They can't even bother to make a phone call. What a bunch of bitches.
How long is the Podshow non-compete agreement for? I'm guessing for the life of the producer.
You'd think someone would have to be of unsound mind and body to sign this piece of shit.
But you know, I can kind of see how someone might jump into it without thinking. I mean, imagine you go out to Podshow HQ, meet Adam Curry, he presents you with this contract and makes a bullshit little speech that makes you feel like you're a rock star signing a record contract. Next thing you know, he owns you and there's nothing you can do about it.
I have to give his some credit. He must be a pretty good salesman to convince people to sign this shit.
