From past interviews Scott has given, it appears that he did shop around for a publisher prior to podcasting as many authors such as Mur Lafferty have...  Some like Nathan Lowell (I believe) went straight to podcasting...  Seems like a nice way to do it... 

On the one hand, you bypass all the normal rejections that the established publishing industry throws out...

On the other hand, you're putting your 'stuff' out there without the editing savvy and polish the publishing industry has...

If you use a publisher, your writing gets a thorough going over as published authors like Scott can tell you.

If you podcast and you're stuff isn't good.. you'll know cause it's just you... but at least you'll know sooner rather than later...  A lot of authors hookup with writing groups and editing circles to polish their material, generally a good idea.  There are a lot of them out there.  Good luck!
