I just finished reading the book Podcasting Year One by Donovan Adkisson. As the podcast consultant from the School of Podcasting and the author of More Podcast Money: Turn Your Passion into Profits I like to read all books about podcasting. Donvan points out that this is not the be all of “How to podcast”…
Mark from the veteran radio team “Mark and Brian” has left radio to start a podcast with his wife. Mark and Brian have been doing radio since 1987 and at one point had a TV show that I barely remember. The interesting thing is they are using a NING site, and to even LOOK at…
I was hanging out in a forum where a bunch of authors were talking about why they don‘t podcast. Here are some of the responses. The Moderator Benjamin Clayborne stated, “‘I’m a writer so that I don’t have to talk to people.” Unless you’re born without a tongue, you’re going to need to talk to…
In this video Leo Laporte (who is set to make about 6 million this year with his podcast) talks about why people should start a podcast. Watch Video Cheap Easy Simple. All you need is a passion.

Yesterday I had a post about someone “cheating” by buying iTunes reviews. Today I want to talk about cheating on twitter. My Experiment with Cheating When I saw all these people with giant Twitter lists I wanted to run with the big dogs too. I had heard people talk about Tweet Adder. So I bought…
I’m not sure how to write this post as I’m going to sound so judgmental. This is probably because I’m being judgmental. After all I am the typo king. Who am I, right? I’ve just seen people do things correctly, and I’ve seen people do things incorrectly and I can spot the difference. With this…
I just heard this on Today in IOS. You CAN manually add podcasts the app (<<<tweet this). To do this perform the following: 1. Make sure you’re on the library side of the app (you will see “Catelog” in the upper left). 2. Tap on the podcast tab in the lower left 3. Then enter…
Everyone says that iTunes is pulling podcasting out of iTunes. Well that’s probably good as Apple tried to make iTunes all things to all people. It became bloated.
