do a regular podcast

there is no way to do somethign someone else hasnt already done. I dont think I would suceed at this I would only wate my time.

I was going really strong there for awhile with iPod Nirvana (ipodnirvana.com), but have really let it go.

I need to decide if I should hold on to it to come back to it some day… or sell it off.

Trying to figure out how to get the podcast more visibility. Listenership is pretty low (I think) and I’m not sure how to get the word out. Not much traffic is being driven by the normal directories.

This promotion thing is an area that I really have to figure out.

I enjoy doing it and know that its building skills because I’m more conscious of how I communicate, but rallying up independent music in this genre is a lot of freakin’ work. I didn’t realize how much time it would take when I started.

Because there’s so many choices of shows to listen out there, I suggest that you talk about what’s important to YOU and don’t burn yourself out by posting every single day (at least in the beginning). Refill your mind with media and personal life experience, then share your story on a regular schedule.

well, I’m gaining momentum. Hit show 15 and found that because I moved hosting of the podcasts I had to add RSS enclosures manually, so no one could get the show. More accurately, SOME shows would show up in iTunes, even without enclosures.

Anyway, I’m learning a lot and Castblaster is a godsend!

I’ve finally decided on a format and have set a goal to hit 20 podcasts by March with a friend and mentor of mine.

The podcast is done, uploaded and the site is all ready as well. It’s taken a while to get it started, but I’m glad that it’s going. It’s called Bad Metaphor and it features me and my 9 year-old son talking about things that we find interesting. The format so far is that we pick a theme and then talk about that. The first episode is called Beginnings and we talk about our first computers and a few other beginnings.
While the podcast was ready a while ago, I had to play around with the site and was trying to understand the best way to keep it all together. We’re getting the second episode ready now and I think that I’ve got it stable enough to launch, so take a listen and enjoy if you are interested in this sort of thing.

I’m determined to get this one off the list tomorrow, the last day of the year and it’s just about there. Just some editing and mixing and it will be live. yay!

Its hardly regular and hardly professional, but I’m doing it. http://podcast.bieberlabs.com is where they can be found.
