Got this email from Todd Cochrane from Raw Voice (the gents behind blubrry.com). It sounds like a good idea. When Rob Greenly was on my buddy Ray Oretga’s show, he mentioned a bit about the future of podcasting and Zune. It’s never a bad idea to let a giant platform like Windows know we listen…
With November upon us, the US is focusing on voting. This is also true in the world of Podcasting. Michael Butler once owned the domain name podcastcirclejerk.com (which forward to the podcast awards – not anymore). I wish there was a better system for picking the nominees. Currently those people who have created STELLAR content,…
Adam Corolla was interviewed and asked about growing his audience. He said: Starting the podcast is one trip top Guitar Center and a Macintosh laptop. There’s not much to starting it. It’s getting the audience that is the more difficult part of the equation. “(Growing Your Audience) is where the work comes in. The part…
In a recent article Joe Rogan says this about podcasting: “And, then, the podcast started happening. And, because of the podcast, I’ve been able to do much, much larger venues because the podcast has done really well. It’s better than any radio show that I’ve ever been on or anything else that I’ve ever used…
Last night myself, Daniel J Lewis, Ray Ortega, and Cliff Ravenscraft discussed Feedburner. Is it going away? Three Options to Move Forward: 1. Do nothing – Feedburner is fine. 2. Update the iTunes <itunes:new–feed–url> using the PowerPress plugin to update iTunes, but keep using Feedburner (making sure the PowerPress feed is in Feedburner for non-iTunes…
Last night I put a deposit on what will be the future home of the School of Podcasting. After years of trying (and FAILING) to keep my family and business life separate, I’m renting some office space a few blocks from my house. This will: Allow me to concentrate better and be more productive Eliminate…
When I logged into my feedburner account and saw nothing but zeros I though of that scene in Titanic where the guy yells “ICERBERG!” The problem is most of my earlier podcasts I used my feedburner feed to submit to iTunes. Now I need to tell feedburner to look at my PowerPress feed (my personal…
I just discovered a very cool PLUGIN (not a theme) that lets you create custom page layouts. It’s from Elegant Themes, and its interesting in that it looks both cool and easy. The pricing is $89 a year (and you get 76 themes, and 3 other plugins) for that price. As they add more themes…
I’m going to break a rule here. I know we are supposed to “Be positive,” if we want to win friends and influence people. So I guess I am looking to lose friends and upset people. I read where ROJS Media was hiring a telemarketer to try and sell advertising on their podcast. When I…
I recently switched the School of Podcasting’s membership script from Amember to Digital Access Pass. Now I can block an entire post, or just some of it. I can sell that post as a single product, or include it in a package that is delivered immediately (or “dripped over time). Digital Access Pass even has…
