In response to the article I posted yesterday about the recent dust up between PodcastOne and Stitcher, I was contacted today by a PodcastOne rep who said that the company’s Chairman/CEO, Norm Pattiz, was willing to do an interview to try and shed some light on the situation. I’m presenting that interview today (with Norm’s permission) as my November contribution to the Podcaster News Show.

Some highlights from our discussion:

• PodcastOne was, at one point, considering acquiring Stitcher.
• Stitcher is still syndicating some of PodcastOne’s show, despite PodcastOne’s request that they stop.
• PodcastOne hasn’t seen any significant decrease in downloads since Sitcher removed PodcastOne’s shows.
• Pattiz says Sitcher doesn’t have a “robust” revenue generating system.

Hear all of this and more in the full podcast episode below.
