All This Drama from One Podcast?

Who knew a simple 23-minute podcast interview with the CEO of a company that produced an application for sharing photographs via Twitter would lead to so much drama?

TweetPhoto CEO Dan Caulfield is now former TweetPhoto CEO Dan Caulfield following his interview last month with Frank Peters for The Frank Peters Show, and Peters received a letter from the company’s lawyers demanding that he remove the podcast, TechCrunch reported.

TweetPhoto dismissed Caulfield for revealing confidential information about partnerships during the podcast, according to TechCrunch, which also posted this except from the letter from TweetPhoto’s law firm to Peters:

The interview posted on your Website contains numerous factual inaccuracies and disparaging statements from Mr. Caufield that TweetPhoto is concerned were made in an effort to harm the economic prospects of TweetPhoto and may constitute a violation of the laws prohibiting unfair competition, defamation, as well as tortious interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage.
