I am looking for answers to the question: I couldn't have done ___ if it was for podcasting. Or I sure am glad I started podcasting because _______   I talk with Ram Krishnan of www.castmetrix.com which is a company that allows you to gnerate dynamic content.

Today we talk about using a "Radio Voice" to be a podcaster. I talk about Dr Dave from www.shrinkwrapradio.com who was worried that he didn't have a "DJ" voice. He's doing fine, and remember that many people do NOT want to hear a "DJ" voice. We talk about forum spam. One way to cut down on spam is to require approval of all new members. George from the www.oneminutehowto.com podcast explains he finally wrote a program to stop spam on his website. I also mention how I've started a "Step by Step" section at the School of Podcasting with my recommended software program, hosting solutions, etc. If you are looking for a quick way to start podcasting, the School of Podcasting is a great solution. www.schoolofpodcasting.com Dave explains that Mixcraft from Acoustica is his recommended "Multi-track" podcasting software.

Today I talk about some experiments I've done promoting my podcast. I also talk about some of the results I've done by finding a tool thats fits your listeners - in my case it was bookmarks promoting m podcast to college students - and how effective it can be. HOWEVER, I think that one of the reasons I have seen a rise in my listeners is due to my episdoe headlines. If you just put "your podcast name #12 " that doesn't entice people to listen.

People have asked me "Should I write down what to say on a podcast?" When they ask this they mean every word. This is NOT the way to go. I talk about a podcast that is the EXACT content I'm looking for and I CAN'T LISTEN as the podcaster is reading a book. Most podcasts are one side of a two-way, time-shifted, conversation. Do you read what you are going to say when you call your Mom? Instead, map out your ideas on note cards, or use software like Microsoft Word, or notepad, to make bullet points. This enables you to create the free flowing, natural sounding conversation based on the bullet point.

NEW SPONSOR: www.trypersony.com The power of online meetings without the monthly fees. Today I'm talking about some tips for presentation, as well we WHY you should be doing some osrt of introduction for your podcast. This includes: Doing Transistions Between Topics:Enable the listener to fast forward through topics they may not want ot listen to, and makes the whole flow of the podcast better. When you just stop music, it jars the listener. You want the transition to signal something new is now on board. If you are looking for theme music check out http://music.podshow.com and do a search for the word themes, beats, etc Get a pop filter for your podcast. Popping P's are annoying. They are about 20 bucks, and can boost your presentation immensly. Dave explains the jibberish issue when it comes to looking at an XML file. The reason you should do some sort of introduction to your pdocast is for the Apple iPod Shuffle users. Even if you don't care about shuffle users, its beneficial for the lsitener. Its all

In this episode I talk about a couple of nightmares I've run across including: My RSS feed in iTunes somehow got changed to http://s (podpress maybe? I'm not sure...). I had to change my RSS feed in iTunes To change this you need to (accorsing to Apple's Forums):Podcasters occasionally need to move their feed from one location to another. In this case, you should not remove your feed. If possible, you should set your web server to return a 301 error and redirect when receiving a request for the old feed. Doing so will cause both the iTunes Music Store and the iTunes clients that have subscribed to your podcast to pick up the new feed URL. Be sure to maintain the redirect for at least two weeks to ensure that most subscribers have attempted to download your most recent episode and have thereby received the new URL. If you don’t know how to return an HTTP 301, you can use the tag described in the iTunes RSS Tags section below. The tag will cause the iTunes music store to be updated with the new feed URL, but i

WARNING - This show contains clips of Keith and the Girl (and are NOT worksafe). Dave continues his talk that was started by people passing information about Podshow.com that was false. This week will be the final word from me on this. Some people still don't understand the concept of specifics reasons by throwing out inuendo and hearsay. Here are some of the things we've learned: When you are making a point, credability can be ruined with one wrong word. Some people thing Podshow is elitest because of their bumper. While I do not personally find this an elitest action - some listeners brought this up. Comunication has always been very subjective. One person was upset becuase he couldn't get a return phone call. Again, I can see where this person was upset. Keith And The Girl Had These Issues1. Adam Curry kept messing up their name. This was annoying to KATG. 2. Keith didn't accept Adam Curry's explanation of the Podshow's messing up the RSS feed. 3. Keith didn't understand the reoccrung advertisements tha

I change format today because I have a serious point to make. If we are the NEW MEDIA, we have the RESPONSIBILITY to RECOGNIZE that the Microphone has POWER. Here are some key points from my rant. BIG MEDIA wants us to fight amongst ourselves. Podcasting has enough competition from other meida sources, so why make one of our competitors "other podcasters." You can say negative things about other people in the community, but you better be willing to explain why and prove it. As a reporter, as part of the NEW media, it is still YOUR responsibility to present the FACTS. I use the example of recent accusations thrown at Podshow. As I have a show on in the Podshow network (this one is not by MY choice), I wanted to dispell some of the rumors about Podshow. YOU THE MEDIA (from Paul Coligan's Book "the Business Podcasting Bible). If we are going to accept that role, we need to also accept that responsibility. Shame on you Keith.

Dave follows up on last week's show with some tips from Don Lewis of http://www.thebigbreakpodcast.com/ and Sallie from www.author-izer.com as we try to remove hum from a non-skype call. Dave is using a Ground-Loop Isolator Dave got a free subscription to Website Magazine. They have some interesting articles on blogging for money, website promotion and more. The best thing is you can read it online, or have it deleivered free to your door. To get your subscription go to www.schoolofpodcasting.com/websitemagazine  One of the resources I found in the above magazine is Traffic Swarm. While I'm not crazy about sites like these, I will say I have received a small bump in traffic to my site. So if I have to put up with an annoying start page, I can deal with that.  Dave also talk about the closing of www.podcastcharts.com a podcast directory he started a while ago, but it had been hacked, and had multiple issues over the years. He now has www.podcastclicks.com as a cross promotion tool for podcasters only.  OUR P
