To me, an outside observer, they have treated it as a sales platform though positioned it as a community forum.

you could energize the community around podcasting (regardless of the list they fall on) and get more people there next time. We already have interest from sponsors and advertisers for our podcast and it is already generating interest for work from our niche. I also agree that it is sorely lacking in the area of advertising.

Why have secret judges when you can have the community on the internet get engaged, give you more page views, and do the judging for you?
