You probably remember Mevio as PodShow (and if you don’t remember that name, you probably remember one of the founder’s names: Adam Curry). According to NewTeeVee, they’ve just pulled down yet another round of funding, this time coming to the grand sum of $15 million, bringing their total venture funding amount to $38 million.

The company continually strives for success, in spite of itself.  The network has had no shortage of network deals, from the time it was a gleam in Adam Curry’s eye, moving through their user generated content phase into professional grade podcasts featured on Sirius Radio, on into the “we don’t need no stinkin’ UGC” professional video phase.

I will admit that the network plays host to a number of my favorite podcast starts: John C. Dvorak, Cali Lewis and Soccergirl. The distancing of itself from their podcasting roots and their ever divisive frontman Adam Curry was probably a smart move, and now that embedded video advertising techniques are finally starting to catch up to the dream of online video, the network might have a fighting chance at living up to their valuation.
