When Podpress quit updating their plugin years ago, I quit using it. Then Wordpres stepped in and updated it, and now its gone through another update done by “other” people. Once again I’m on the phone with someone who has their website quit working. They have added ALL SORTS of feed “features” the interesting thing…
Nothing makes me grit my teeth more than when I watch a person with Radio experience jump into the “podosphere” and dub themselves a Podcast Consultant. I will say it again. I will say it confidently. I will say it LOUD. PODCASTING IS NOT RADIO Now in this instance, Allan Hunkin seems like a nice…
I’m amazed at people who take the time to type up the world’s finest newsletter. This could be weekly, or a person I met at Podcamp Cleveland does one monthly. I told him, “You should turn that into a Podcast.” He asked, “Why?” I explained that I can’t read his newsletter in the car. I…
I had someone ask me “Why can’t I just host my media files on the server that hosts my Website? After all they offer unlimited bandwidth.” I went over to Host Gator and used their chat option. When it popped up it showed there were 200 technicians waiting to help me. I entered the chat…
I’ve loved Libsyn (one of the companies owned by Wizzard Media) since the day I start podcasting. My first episode was on a libsyn server, and I still use them today.

A very strange thing happened on our free Podcast Webinar last night (next one in three weeks). I was tlaking with Charlie from www.crosdrivenradio.com and he mentioned how he had a ton of blackberry users who were downloading his podcast. I ran to my libsyn.com stats and checked. The last time I checked iTunes accounted…
Podtrac has great tools for podcasters. The best part is they are free. You can get stats, host surveys, and put a player for people to stream your podcast. In the past they had a baby puke green player that “worked.” I typically hacked the html to put in a new image. Well now they…
Greg Fitzsimmons is a well established comedian, author, and Podcaster. recently he made a joke that if someone sent him $10 they could sponsor a spot on his show. Someone did, and he did. The next time he decided to take his spot to ebay. This time instead of $10 he received $212 as the…
I thought I would drop by podcamp.org to see when any podcmaps this spring/summer might be happening near by. I’m glad I did. Podcamp Cleveland is happening THIS WEEKEND. I’ve signed up to do a session, but have no idea if I will be approved. With this in mind you might want to do the…
