I think I get it. This week I was on Today in Podcasting and got to field questions about Podshow changing their name to Mevio. As the only person associated with Podshow (I’m just a producer), I was looked to for inside information. I had none. Just the company line that the word "Pod" in…
www.Emusic.com/musicnews is a sponsor for one of my podcasts (the Music News Podcast) so I went over to check out the site. They have a ton of music there and you can get 35 songs for free. The trial ends in 14 days, and if you don’t like it, you can cancel and keep the…
OK, I validate my feed. Everything is fine. I submit the feed. The name, description, and IMAGE show up for the podcast and you click the button to get it in line with the rest of the podcasts waiting to get put into the iTunes podcast directory. You wait. OK, I understand. When it finally…

I was a victim of front page creep! You know…….. You add one thing, and just one more, and then, well, ok this one more thing. The School of Podcasting’s front page as a mile long sales letter/podcast/nap creating/ mess. So I took things from the one giant page, and I separated into little pages….
I was in Best Buy last night and saw a bright glowing icon of an Apple. Was it? Could it Be? But what to my wondering eyes could appear was a Power Book Pro (and all of it’s cousins). I asked the local Best Buy employee, do you have these in stock or is this…
Back in the day, I had a newsletter for Musicians Called "The Musicians Cyber Cooler." In 2005 the newsletter became a podcast and we dropped the "Cyber" as it was so 1986.
