iTunes. Love it or hate it, we’re stuck with it as podcasters. Of course, iTunes is great when it works. But what about all of those times that an iTunes listing isn’t updating properly? Or how about when you need to change an RSS feed that controls an...

It seems like podcasters deal with a lot of anxiety when it comes to media and website hosting. It’s understandable, as those two things are highly important when it comes to podcasting. I tried to answer the question,

In episode ten of the Podcaster News Show, I continue my Women in Podcasting series by pointing you towards directories and other online resources that will help you to find podcasts that are hosted by women. Before you can listen to someone’s podcast, you have to be able to find it. Add some women’s voices and viewpoints to the mix of podcasts that you are currently listening to. There are so many to choose from! Links mentioned in this episode: * She Podcasts Directory * IPDb list of podca...

In episode nine of the Podcaster News Show, I decided to turn things around a little bit. Usually, I interview a woman who is a podcaster. This time, I have enlisted the help of Shawn Thorpe (a fellow Podcaster News contributor) to help me interview … well… myself. It dawned on me that I’ve been asking women who podcast a series of questions that I hadn’t specifically answered myself. So, for this episode, Shawn takes my place and asks me the questions about podcasting that I usually ask other ...

In response to the article I posted yesterday about the recent dust up between PodcastOne and Stitcher, I was contacted today by a PodcastOne rep who said that the company’s Chairman/CEO, Norm Pattiz, was willing to do an interview to try and shed some light on the situation. I’m presenting that interview today (with Norm’s permission) as my November contribution to the Podcaster News Show. Some highlights from our discussion: PodcastOne was, at one point, considering acquiring Stitcher. Stit...

Social media maven Chris Brogan recently made some podcasting news when he published a blog post called “Dear Podcaster.” In that post, Chris gave some advice to podcasters based on his own experiences in being interviewed on many podcasts.

Welcome to episode 4 of the Podcaster News Show. In this edition, I decided to step away from the relative comfort of my dedicated production studio and go basic, recording only with my iPad and a free app called Recorder. I did this as an exercise to show that it isn’t really necessary to invest in a mountain of gear just to get your voice committed to disk. I also give a simple explanation of a podcast publishing setup that, while hardly optimal, could technically allow you to publish a podca...

It seems like in recent months, more and more podcasters are talking about getting into New & Noteworthy. One podcaster even considered relaunching his show because, even tho his show did make it into New & Noteworthy, he felt his time there wasn’t optimal. Links mentione...
