ANN jumps on the Video Podcast bandwagon

True to form, ANN has announced that they’re gonna do a video podcast long after everyone else did (I kid).

…But, hey, they’re looking for on-air talent. They list it as a staff posting. Does that mean it pays?

It should be interesting to see what they do. I have yet to be impressed with any video podcast, really. As far as anime-related vidcasts go, the only really significant one is AnimeTV, which…well, I was underwhelmed by. It needs a bit more structure, IMO, and also needed to build up the credibility of its commenters a bit. That said, what can ANN do that AnimeTV isn’t doing? Well, that’s easy– if they have brains at all they’ll do commentary on the news rather than the shows, since as far as I can tell people visit ANN more for the news and forums than the reviews.

What do you guys think? Heaven or hell?

    If it pays then you should apply! Then we get to actually see what you look like. =b

    Ha! No, I don’t think so, even if they WOULD take people who didn’t leave near New York City.

    I do have a couple of random pictures of me tossed around this blog though…
