Fleeting moments in B-grade fame

Ok, so don’t ask me why The Scoop is competing with the aussieBum video podcast on the iTunes music store’s business podcast category. Call it one of life’s little mysteries. And call it sheer curiosity, but I checked out the aussieBum vodcast (it’s an Australian brand of underpants) - and I guess you could categorise it “business”. Maybe “men’s business”? It’s actually a very clever piece of marketing. An attractive woman walks around with a microphone and camera on Sydney’s beaches, gets unsuspecting buff men to try on some new undies, and films the results.

I’ve got a sneaky feeling there’s no way yours truly & Co. can compete. But, we did have a taste of minor B-grade fame, possibly even C-grade, when our humble offering rose to number 5 on iTunes business podcast category yesterday. We’re even a “new and notable” podcast! That means we must have at least a few listeners, which is very reassuring. : )
