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. [bctt

sound stupid if I do this,” or “I’m really worried about sounding
stupid.”  It’s not radio.  So, if you’re in the
middle of a podcast, and all of the sudden you you sneeze, or you
cough, or whatever you’re doing, or the dog barks--you can easily
go and edit that out.  Download the Complete PDF Show
