For those of you who may have missed it, I heard a great podcast the other day from Radio Litopia called, "Seth Godin: The New Face of Publishing."
As someone who is particularly interested in the publishing industry (there was a time when I thought it might just be my dream job), and a longtime book devourer, I found Seth's take on the future of book publishing fascinating.
I'd be scared shitless if I were a CEO in Random House, Simon & Schuster, or one of the other mega publishing houses out there.
On the other hand, Seth's words are incredibly hopeful to any aspiring writers (such as myself) who want to reach a larger audience with what they have to say without the need for an often pointless middleman.
