Crash Course in Podcasting
Hard-won Podcasting tips, strategies, information and advice, for all independent Show Creators. We endeavour to protect you from the deluge of poor information (and borderline snake-oil) in the Podcasting space. We're Educators first, Paid Service Providers second. This is also a place where a love for audio isn't just recognised, but it's embraced. If you're looking for a show that loves the spoken-word audio as much as you do, you might just have found your next favourite Podcast.
