Volo Media, formerly known as Audio Feast, has obtained a patent for "episodic media" that many claim covers podcasting. The hosts argue the patent is bogus, noting that Adam Curry and Dave Winer developed the RSS enclosure model in 2001, years before Volo Media's 2003 filing.
Correspondence from 2005 between the hosts and Murgesh Navar of Audio Feast is revealed, suggesting Navar did not fully understand podcasting at the time. The hosts discuss the history of the technology and Navar's attempts to partner with Podshow before pivoting to a patent-assertion strategy.
