Have you thought about starting a podcast of your own, or just want to take your existing podcast to the next level? Then this episode is one you will want to listen to time and time again!

In this episode JJ and Kevin were joined by the founder of PodFund.com, and St. Louis native, Robert Becker!

Make sure to listen as Robert goes into detail about what PodFund is, and how it came to be as a company created to help both experienced, and new podcasters alike, use crowdfunding to help fund their podcast ventures. He shared some great tips to help get started with your own campaign, why they chose WePay.com vs PayPal for making and receiving payments and also spoke about his background in radio that led to this idea.

With their first campaigns getting ready to go live on March 3, tonight was a great time to help spread the word with our listeners.

We have to say thank you again to Robert Becker for being such a great guest and joining us on the STLTechTalk Podcast!

Our guest on episode 18 is Microsoft MVP David McCabe from SurfaceGeeks.net and from the Home Server Show Podcast.

Take a listen to see what all David had to say about how he got into technology and what led him to choose to primarily use the Microsoft ecosystem.

We also talked about how SurfaceGeeks.net came to be, which is a wonderful resource for people with Surface, or other tablets to visit, to go to and learn more about their tablets. Of course the Surface is not the only tablet available that runs Windows on it and we made sure to talk about the Nokia Lumia 2520 and Dell Venue Pro 8, so be sure to catch that part of the interview.

A big thank you to David for taking the time to sit and talk with us on this great episode!

In episode 17 JJ and Kevin talked with the co-founder and Chief Technological Officer ofwww.TrakBill.com Sam Sullivan.

TrakBill is a St. Louis based company that provides users a way to follow legislative bills from all 50 states either via mobile apps for iOS and Android devices, or using their website.

When you look around www.TrakBill.com,  you will be impressed with how much information you can get from the website and how easy it is to find, and follow bills that interest you.

We had a great discussion that covered a lot of various topics ranging from how Sam got started in web development to how he became a Google Glass Explorer.
