News: Podcast Movement and the Academy of Podcasters Awards are going this weekend in Ft. Worth Texas. Mackenzie and Todd from Blubrry are there to tell everyone about Blubrry’s new stuff. I will go through that a bit later in the show. If you are there, or went, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it this year. Hope to make it in the future. I will be at NMX/NAB in April of next year.

Why do I podcast? (And why you might want to)

Several reasons people do podcasts….

To tell the world what you want to say.

To promote a business

To entertain

To play with audio gear (yes, there are some that love to play around with this stuff)

To make Money $$ (well $)

To become an expert in something

Because they got fired from Radio

The reason I do podcasts.

It’s fun

I like to help others learn new things and I learn just as much by teaching

I meet lots of people because of my podcasts

I like to play with the gear.

Reasons people give for NOT podcasting

It takes time

It’s expensive

They don’t like the sound of their own voice

Mic Fright

Too Geeky
