Is this the "Golden Age" of blogging and podcasting

I was putting the final touches on the agenda for tonights SSAATY podcast.  I think this is going to be our best podcast yet.  We have an All Star cast with a virtual who's who of security bloggers and podcasters on the panel.  The topic is, selling security up the ladder.  The panel is made up of Martin McKeay of Network Security blog and podcast, Michael Farnum of Information Security Place, Michael Rothman of Security Incite, Michael Wright of MCWresearch and Bobby Dominguez of Sykes. To think that we could assemble such a distinguished panel on rather short notice speaks volumes about how powerful the blogging/podcast medium has become.  I also think that because we have not yet reached the point where blogging and podcasting has become too commercial (at least in regards to security), it is still possible to call on members of the community to do worthwhile shows like this.

My thoughts are that as the medium continues to grow and commercial pressure increases, we are going to leave behind this golden age of innocence where people are doing their blogs and podcasts as much for the passion as for the money and fame.  I saw it happen to the web and to many other things. I guess it is inevitable.  Until then, lets all enjoy it while we can.

In case you are interested, we will be recording tonight and I will be posting the podcast as soon as possible, within a few days for sure.  Be on the look out as it should be a good one!  BTW, if this is the golden age of blogging and podcasting, does that make Rothman Uncle Milty?
