I had two people ask me about the "Behind the Scenes" operations of the School of Podcasting. I was nervous about doing this episode. If you're new to the show, I normally don't talk about myself for 47 minutes. As I had two people ask similar questions, I thought I'd share information about:

Where I Started (start ugly - great book)

My first podcast setup

My first "business office"

Why and how I upgraded (and why you probably don't need to).

What I'm using now for the podcast and the business.

I also mention the Podcaster Happy Hour (check out this new networking and education event).

Got Feedback On This Episode?

I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode. If you have a minute or two, it's less than five questions and works great on your phone or computer.

Question of the Month

Some podcasters spend time putting in chapters that include artwork and links. Where are you when it comes to chapters? Did you know they exist? Do you use them in your show?
