Promise: How to Tackle the Technology of Podcasting

Our big promise is, we’re going to help you face your fears and tackle the technology of podcasting.  So many people put podcasting on this huge pedestal.  They are like, “Oh, I could never do that.” And, it’s really not that big a deal.  You’ve probably got content that’s been on your blog.  It’s been in your newsletter and in your emails.  Just turn around and put those into audio or video [format] and set off to the races.
