I'm sitting in United's Red Carpet Club in San Diego waiting to get on my flight to Chicago. It feels good to be hitting the road again but I'm not looking forward to the long week away from my wife and daughter. To complicate things further, my daughter got sick on Christmas and my wife and I started not to feel well. For the past four days, my wife has been down with a nasty head cold. I can feel it starting to set into my head as I type this. I hope that it won't last long and I can survive the majority of the week in good health. It really sucks traveling with a cold.

Doug's got a great quick analysis on the cost of delivering a one hour MP3 to a single listener. He concludes it costs between $50 and $100 to deliver a single show to 10,000 listeners. However, most Podcasters deliver one or two shows a week. How do these costs scale if the underlying assumptions change? Doug, if you have the time, I'd like to work with you on a model that would scale these costs. I think this would be a very valuable contribution to the community to help everyone know what it is costing them to Podcast as well as a tool to rank the best hosting plans for Podcasting. This is also an integral calculation in developing a business model for Podcasting.
