I run
Let's Talk Bitcoin! and I'm getting ready to run an interview with the lead dev of Feathercoin Peter Bushnell tomorrow. I wanted to let you know that I recorded this interview with him more than two weeks ago and it was scheduled to run on Friday, but I had a time-sensitive interview about the legal situation with Bitcoin so I bumped it to tomorrows episode. I didn't tell anyone on Feathercoin I was doing it, and in fact they probably expected it to run last Tuesday, but it was bumped again for Fellow Traveler to talk about OpenTransactions and Bitmessage.
Bottom line, I seriously doubt this is a PR stunt because they've made no attempt at all to influence when I release the interview.
Just wanted to provide some perspective from a guy who spends lots of his time looking for scams and bullshit.
