I’m Sorry You Have To Read This Post

PodcastOne knows it. Mark Ramsey wrote about it months ago. If this issue doesn’t resonate with you, yet, maybe this post will help nudge you into action. At least it should get you thinking. I apologize in advance, however, because, at the age of ten, podcasting shouldn’t be spawing posts like this and you shouldn’t have to read them.

Facebook Is All Ears—Or Could Be

Regular readers of this blog will know there’s no love lost between me and the current way of distributing podcasts. Podcast distributing? There’s a phrase begging to be redefined.

The Most Misused Word In Podcasting

This post is about the most misused word I’ve seen since my wife referred to my writing as cute. The word is bandied about as if it were the magic bullet that will turn your podcast into an overnight sensation. With it, your brand will become the new Coca-Cola. Without it, the new Edsel (look it up). And yet, many of the people using it do so as if to demonstrate they have no idea what it means.
