Oh Great, Podcast Spam

Stephen Davies writes that he stumbled upon what he thinks is podcast spam.

While searching a few media podcasts on the iTunes website through my iTunes player I came across the iMedia Pro podcast. Thinking it was a podcast about…you guessed it, media, (oh how stupid of me!) I subscribed. Only to find some guy telling me how I can make “six figure sums” by…well, I don’t know how because I couldn’t bare listening to his drivel!

I wonder if this will be an iTunes only issue? Other podcast directories such as Podcast Alley allow users to rate podcasts and provide comments, so any podcast spam will be quickly noted. Within iTunes there is no ability to comment. All you can do is 'Report a Concern'.

Good point Josh. Perhaps it’s something iTunes should take into consideration on their next build. It may be a while though, iTunes 5.0 has just been released!
