I have said for years, the best way to start a podcast is to use a service to host your websites (like Bluehost or Host Gator) and then get a dedicated Media Host (Like Blubrry.com or Libsyn.com). Blue host will cost you about $7 a month. You have to buy a year in advance (so…
I was approached by a company about starting a podcast where the target audience is college students. I explained how I use to do a podcast for students called “Quiet Study Area” that had soft non distracting music to study by, and study tips. The site (ugly and simple) is still there, and I went…
I was talking to some people who were starting podcasts and the “B” word came up again. By that I mean podBean. This is a “Free” podcast hosting company. I had heard that “they hijack your feed.” I have helped people move away from them (and podomatic another free service), but when I looked at…
Unless all you have is time, this video shows how $20 can save you 24 hours.

I switch software titles rarely. I used for years until they added so many features that it got cluttered. I’ve used . Then I got (again more tools that I don’t use). A client of mine asked me about Hindenburg Journalist. This company makes software for MEDIA people (The Hindenburg thing goes with their tag…
I listen to a lot of Podcasts, and many of them have Audible as a sponsor. I overheard two podcasters saying that Audible had “over saturated” the market with advertising. To this I ask you a question? Who is the number 2 audio book provider? My answer I have no idea as I have never…
I recently ran across a post that discussed how podcasts are taking away jobs from copywriters, and how video (Youtube) is going to be THE Platform and all others will die. Evil, evil youtube. Shame on you for killing innocent copywriters. Seriously? What’s next a “Podcasting is Dead” blast? Did TV kill radio? Did either…
