I am with you, I wish djWheat would put them on the podcast section of the iTunes store. He was talking about alpha brain and new mood the other day, so I am wondering if Onnit would want to sponsor the podcast portion, thus making it worth Wheat's time to post them there. Seems like a good fit, as gamers could have a use for them as Wheat mentioned from his experience of the product. If done right, podcasts can be fairly lucrative in the advertising sense, especially from a show like Inside the Game or Live On Three that are pretty consistently weekly.
Though with all the sponsors on Inside the Game already, not sure if a new sponsor would be a conflict.
To be fair to Wheat, hosting a podcast can cost a lot in bandwidth. Giant bomb talks about it a bit and how much it runs them each week. The current way is totally acceptable as long as the MP3 link is put up.
@Inside the Game. I read that MMA streamed yesterday, right after a tournament concluded. I was wondering if they talked about WCS EU yet, which they are now.
Ok, I have not watched Inside The Game for a while, but I have to ask this: Xenocider is a cool dude, but how can a talkshow that takes it self seriously have a 16 year old high school kid who lives with his parents as a qualified expert to express his opinion on the business side of e-sports and the professional setup of tournaments and teams?

As he is on a professional team and deals with other professional gamer, I think he is likely far more qualified than you or I to talk about the business side of things.

As someone who has run his own business for the last 7 years I really hope that's not true Would be kinda sad (for me) if it was. I was just wondering, since I remember what I knew about that kind of stuff when I was 16 years old and lived at home...

its not CNN, its a podcast about video games. why are you getting caught up in "qualifications?" take it all with a grain of salt. also not sure why you would focus on xenocider. if we are talking "qualified expert," i am not sure i would follow the advice of anyone on the show despite their experience.

I don't even know what he said, I just think that people shouldn't discount his point of view because he is young. If anything, he has a far more productive point of view than many of the "adult" pros out there. I still remember the quote from a couple of weeks ago saying "The perception of imbalance was doing more damage to my play than any tiny imbalance that actually existed." From someone so young, it was pretty a insightful pretty insightful way to look at his own play.
