Free Podcast Host: PodBean
This is the second, and long overdue, review of free podcast hosting solutions. The last time I reviewed MyPodcast.com. This time I’m taking a look at PodBean.com.
It’s been so long since I signed up at PodBean that I couldn’t remember my username or password. However, PodBean sent me an e-mail oh so long ago that [...]
Podcast Questions
I added a new page to the web site recently. The page is called Ask A Question.
At the end of many of the posts I put my e-mail address and you, the reader, can send me questions about podcasting. Some of you do, but compared to the number of readers, the vast majority either [...]
The Recording Booth: Building a Professional Recording Studio
I’ve had a few inquiries about building a podcast studio. First, a milk crate lined with egg crate will be a great first recording booth. It isolates the sound to just what is in front of the microphone, mainly you. If you don’t want to talk into a little box on your [...]
Search Meter: A WordPress plugin
While listening to the Boagworld podcast a couple weeks back, Paul Boag had a recommendation that he took out of his new book. It was about using metrics for identifying holes in your content.

How is that you ask? With the Top 5 Free Podcaster [...]
Adsense Fail
While sifting through my RSS feed reader I found this great tidbit. Not the article, but Blogging Tips is using Adsense to monetize their RSS feed. However Adsense is doing it’s job too well. While Blogging Tips wants you to monetize through affiliate marketing, Adsense not so much. Do yourself a favor and sell your [...]
Podcast Seminar: Spreading the Word Through Social Networks
This post continues the Podcast Seminar series. This week we cover the topic of Spreading the word through Social Networks.
First off, what is a social network? Here’s a good definition from Wikipedia, “communities of people who share interests and activities or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others.” (You might [...]
Alesis Introduces iPod Based Recorder
Apparently there’s a lot of interest in turning iPods into portable digital recorders. I mentioned the Belkin unit recently and then just today I saw this puppy from Alesis. I guess the utility of having your recorder and your player as one unit is an advantage over having a separate unit. The more I see [...]
