Question about the business of podcasting:

I listen (irregularly) to Writing Excuses. Great discussion. Lately it seems to be at least 50% ads, and hasn't always been.

My feed comes from feeds.redcircle.com.

I don't begrudge them an income from the podcast (really), but with 50%+ ads, I wonder: is redcircle adding these ads? Are the hosts? (They voice a few of them but not most.) Do the hosts provide the podcast audio complete with ads to a syndicator who then publishes it on several different sites?

How does this work?

Melanie's discussion of how Microsoft frames disability ties neatly into the Writing Excuses distinction between the medical and social models of disability.
