So it appears that the innocent days of free podcasting are over. Starting next week, The Ricky Gervais Show will be charging money for admission. They’ll now cost $7 for four episodes per month. For now, the Macworld Podcast (hosted by yours truly) remains free — and we’ll be having a new episode this Wednesday.

Actually we had "The Ricky Gervais Show" beat by a couple of weeks by releasing the movie On the Cutting Room Floor as a paid podcast mini-series. Check the On the Cutting Room Floor site for more info about the movie and the podcast and check out SubscribeCast for more info about the tech behind it.
