Here is the direct MP3 download for the Evil Genius Chronicles podcast, August 13 2013.
In this episode, I take a break from the fandom series and talk about the selling of digital goods and in particular the dynamics of “name your own price” deals. I discuss the Humble ebook bundles and how I think big publishers fail to understand the elasticity of demand for their goods; my experience with buying Amanda Palmer’s album with name your own price; and how I think large businesses that sell physical goods will never do an adequate job of selling digital goods.

Glad you have been so prolific these days!
Thanks, my friend. Ten more days of the challenge, and maybe it has helped me find a new normal that is more frequent than it has been.
