Friday, November 02, 2007
Did you just do a double-take? I don’t blame you. The blog entry title is a weird one, but it’s true!
Dan Klass announced on his blog tonight that Blogger & Podcast Magazine is teaming up with USA Today to offer a Blogger & Podcaster Guide that will be a part of the circulated newspaper once per week, as well as on the USA Today website.
I agree with Dan that this is a great opportunity to get some exposure for your podcast!
Now, this isn’t all happening for free, but the Blogger & Podcaster Magazine is offering everyone a one-line listing for one month at zero cost and obligation. Read Dan’s write-up on it for more information. It’s free, so why not do it!?

The Business Podcasting Book (in real life)
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Today DHL delivered a packaged that contained one of the first copies of the new book to which I contributed 5 chapters.
It’s great to see the book in person and be able to flip through it. It’s no flimsy tome, either. This is a 400+ page book chock full of excellent business podcasting advice and direction from the pros.
You can pre-order the book at Amazon
Designers & Developers for MDA
Wednesday, August 29, 2007
Over on my personal site, I’ve challenged the web community - designers, developers and creators - to help me raise money for Muscular Dystrophy.
The goal is to raise as much as we can for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and help fund research for a cure and support for affected individuals and families.
From the page:
Individually, I’m sure we all do something throughout the year to help any one of the thousands of charities. But through this fund drive to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association we speak loudly as a group letting clients, friends and family know that while we may be constantly attached to our laptops with white earbuds glued to our ears, we are tuned into the suffering of others and care enough to do something to help.

The Business Podcasting Book
Friday, August 10, 2007
I’m happy to announce that next month at the Podcast & New Media Expo, ”Podcast Academy: The Business Podcasting Book
Michael Geoghegan of Gigavox Media and Podcast Academy is the Editor-in-chief of the book with other contributions from Colette Vogellle of Vogelle & Associates and Tim Bourquin of TNC New Media (the company behind the Podcast & New Media Expo).
”Podcast Academy: The Business Podcasting Book
The book is broken into three parts and is roughly 400 pages. We first drill into an overview of podcasting, examples of corporate podcasting, podcastings role in the social media landscape, and what organizations needs to consider before jumping in.
The second section, which was written mostly by Ryan, is an overview of the podcast production process. He covers everything from planning decisions, all the way through to the production of your podcast and the power of RSS. Also in this section, Colette offers an excellent chapter on the potential legal issues organizations must consider as well before they delve into a podcasting initiative.
The third section of the book is focused on getting your podcast out there, building your audience and community, monetizing your content, and measuring your success. In this section I am joined by Tim who contributed an incredibly detailed chapter on monetizing your podcast.
That about sums it up. The book is available now at Amazon.com for pre-orders.
Many, many thanks to Michael at Gigavox, Greg for leading up the book and making it fun to work on and, of course, the team at Focal Press for the great opportunity!
