On Friday Sept. 28th at 1:00PM, all the authors of our new book, Podcast Academy™: The Business Podcasting Book will be doing an author signing at the New Media Expo. If you’d like to meet some of the original practitioners of podcasting, this is a great opportunity to see them all at once: Greg Cangialosi, Ryan Irelan, Tim Bourquin, and Colette Vogele. I’ll stop by as well. Check us out at the Expo’s book shop.
This last week I received my first advanced copy of our new book, Podcast Academy™: The Business Podcasting Book. This is one serious book. When I agreed to do the project, I did what any respectable “Editor-in-Chief” would do. I invited the smartest people I know to act as authors. They turned out an impressive 420 page tome that weighs in at a hefty 2.3 pounds! If you are involved in any sort of corporate or organizational podcast initiative this is the book for you. Should be on store shelves by the end of the week. Bravo once again to our impressive list of contributing authors: Greg Cangialosi, Ryan Irelan, Tim Bourquin, and Colette Vogele!
While at Podcast Academy #5 I did a quick interview with Greg Cangialosi for his ROI Radio show. We discussed GigaVox, our podcast publishing platform and the Podcast Academy. Oh, we also mentioned a forthcoming series of Podcast Academy books. [Link]
I am often asked to recount the story behind the original 50th Anniversary Disneyland Podcast. Those who have heard the story know it sounds like a game of telephone. “A guy (Mike Spataro) called a guy ( Greg Cangialosi) who called a guy (K. Todd Storch) who called a guy (Me).” Here is an interview that my friend Greg Cangialosi (guy #2) conducted with Mike Spataro (guy #1) for his new podcast, ROI Radio. For the record, Mike is the unsung hero of the Disneyland Podcast, he brought the opportunity to us.
BTW, Greg did a great presentation at our most recent Podcast Academy. His presentation, which he mentions in the interview, will be available for free on the Podcast Academy channel in the near future. [Link]
