If Google isn't doing it, it's probably not possible to support it with advertising. Still, Universal Music is planning to try, and at the Roundup, we're not ready to write it off -- at least, not quite yet. Also this week: the final round in the iPod sweatshop story, this time with a twist of Chinese politics.
The Weekly Roundup will be included in TMO's main RSS feed, and also in its own feed if you'd like to add it directly to your podcatching client.
