Christopher Parks<\/a> and Bob Martin<\/a>  invited me to be their guest on a business-related Podcast called \u201cTheBizCast\u201d. I accepted their invitation and ended up having a great time discussing a variety of subjects. <\/p>\n

This podcast was unrehearsed and unedited, so you get an immediacy and a candor that you will not find on mainstream media. At the same time, these guys are so professional that the results exceed what you will hear on a typical talk show.<\/p>\n

They are great hosts and made it very easy for me to cover a lot of ground. It was so easy to talk with them that we spent two and a half hours on the phone and it felt like we had barely scratched the surface. I was surprised how cogent I sounded. I am now hooked on podcasting as a way to extend my reach as a writer through a medium which offers some interesting capabilities. <\/p>\n

Podcasting is the recording and storing of audio information as mp3 files online. These files can be downloaded into an mp3 player, such as an iPod, or a computer and can be played back whenever desired. Unlike the typical radio or TV performance, podcasting provides a permanent and searchable record of a live conversation. <\/p>\n

My conversation with Christopher and Bob was published as three segments which can be downloaded. If you are interested in hearing what I actually sound like and want to know if I talk in the same off-the-wall manner as I write, you can follow the three links below.<\/p>\n

Christopher Parks has provided a brief index of the topics we covered in our free-wheeling discussion. This podcast is titled BizCast Podcast Show 08. Each podcast is preceded and ended by some taped segments from old radio shows.<\/p>\n
