As many of you know – I’m a sucker for the paranormal and conspiracy theories – so it was a tremendous pleasure to have Jim Harold on the show. Jim has a number of podcasts, all based around the paranormal, ghosts, spooky stories and things that go bump in the night:
In today’s show I speak with Ted Forbes, photographer, film maker, teacher and podcaster about his videocast, The Art of Photography. Ted is from Dallas, Texas in the US of A.
I chatted to Jonathan Ahlbrand who uses podcasts in an education way. Jonathan gives us an insight into Mixcraft, a Windows alternative to Apple’s Garageband and Logic Express. And, true to form, I asked Jonathan all about his latest acquisition – a Blue Yeti microphone.

I met Alastair McKenzie at the Travel Bloggers Unite 2011 event in Mancherster a couple of weeks back. Alastair is an x-radio journalist/editor, now turned to the Internet. In this interview he gives us some killer tips on interviewing and post production with particular reference to using atmospheric backgrounds – great stuff!
Last night I had a chat with Ciaran Rogers who co-hosts the Digital Marketing Podcast. We mention:
In today’s show I help you to create your first podcast in Garageband on the Mac.
I show you how to record, edit, mix and encode in Garageband, then tag in iTunes.
In today’s show I chat with Cliff Ravenscraft, of PodcastAnswerMan.com.
Cliff shares his story of how he took a leap of faith and went from a career in insurance to a full time podcaster and then podcasting coach. A great interview and some terrific tips from Cliff.

Today I delve into the whole area of tracks in audio podcast production and where to find music.
Some places to find music for your podcast:
In today’s show I talk about a few portable audio recorders I’m familiar with. I was introduced to a new web based podcasting platform yesterday - ipadio.com. Only had a quick look but it looks very interesting and I’ll cover it in a later show.
