I started this podcast back in October of 2005. Since then many other podcasts about podcasting have come and gone including:

Podcasting for Dummies (last show 11/19/2008)
Today in Podcasting (last show 10/21/2008)
Podcaster Confessions (all episodes have vanished)
Behind the Scenes (last show 1/6/2007)
Podcasting ABP (only did two episodes)
Learn to podcast (apple – ended 2006)
Podcasting 101 – (last episode 7/13/2008)
Podcasting Step By Step (Gone)
The Podcasting Blog ( 8/2008)
Podcasting Demystified (ended in 2006)

Also the yahoo podcast directory came and went (and people said “Podcasting is dead”). Software titles like “podcast station” and “mix craft live” have both gone away. In the mean time podcasting continues to grow, ways to create and receive them (phones, etc).

I am still here and ready to help you start a podcast no matter if you want it to do it yourself, or if you are looking for a podcast consultant to coach you through or do it for you.

One podcast about podcasting is the Podcasters’ Emporium. Anybody know of any others?

Podcasting Reaches a Global Audience

We have a lovely note from my friend Lynn Pearson who sent in a message from Scottland.

Thanks to all the people I’ve helped get podcasts off the ground, and to everyone who listens.  You guys/gals are awesome. Special thank to the 2godcicks.com and Chris from the www.fillupyouripodshow.com

You can get a remote control that turns the power on/off at the outlet. Then you can plug a lamp into that outlet. Place this outside the room you record in, and when the family sees the light they know not to come inside. If the light is off, then they are free to come on in. The classic “ON AIR” lights are a bit expensive.  I’ve found some on ebay.com for about 30 bucks

Troubleshooting Wordpdress

When I troubleshoot my Podcast Fast Pass client’s websites a majority of the time it is a conflict with one of the plugins. You can go in and turn off all the plugins, and then see if the problem goes away. If it does, then go in and turn on ONE plugin and test the site. Keep repeating until you find the plugin that is causing the issue.

If you can’t even login, then go into your website via FTP and delete the plugins in the plugins folder. You can install them later.

Internet Video. As you probably expected, Internet video consumption exploded last year, with approximately 69 million, or 27% of people, watching online video sometime in the past week. That figure is up from 18% in 2008.
Portable Media Players. More than four in ten people (42%) own an iPod, iPhone, or other kind of portable media/mp3 player, and among the 12 – 44 year-old crowd, that percentage jumps to above 50 percent. The “key radio demographic” of 35-to 54-year-olds are becoming more frequent online radio listeners.
Podcast Audience. Forty-three percent of Americans are aware of podcasts, up from 37% last year. Twenty-two percent of Americans have ever listened to a podcast (up from 18% in 2008), and approximately 27 million (or 11%) have listened to one in the past month (up from 9% last year)

Linking to Other Websites with Media

In working on the Sessions with Slau podcast we linked to some additional audio directly, and it turns out that the first item you link to (assuming its some sort of media) will GO DOWN THE RSS FEED. So, to make a long story short, you should always link to a post (and not the media) if its a podcast.
