Awakened Voice

The recent death of James Kim has made an impact on the world of podcasting like none other to date. Here is a young guy, technically proficient in these new technologies and active in podcasting via his position as a senior editor at CNET.
James was a host of the MP3 Insider audio podcast and Crave [...]

It’s only nine and a half months away folks and it sounds like it will be bigger than ever. One day bigger to be exact.
The next Podcast Expo is also sporting a new name, adding the word ‘New‘ and removing ‘Portable‘ from the title.
The email I received had some details on what’s new, including “In [...]

Most will probably be supported, but I ran into a potentially sticky situation with my desktop RSS feed reader of choice, Onfolio. Onfolio was acquired by Microsoft earlier this year and [...]

A couple of months back I was contacted by Ted Demopolous who was writing a book on blogging and podcasting. I had never met Ted but I was familiar with his first book, Blogging For Business which was co-authored by Shel Holtz. I’ve met Shel and follow his exploits as a social communicator.
Ted wanted my [...]

I found myself in a situation recently that I thought was worth mentioning here. One of the podcasts that I produce has two feeds, one audio and one video. As such, they have separate listings in iTunes. Maybe I’ll talk about the merits of this approach in a future post.
About a month ago I noticed [...]
