Notes
Another sign podcasting is mainstream: found 2 books on podcasting at my local library. Podcasting Hacks and Tricks of the Podcasting Masters. Really liked Podcasting Hacks from O'Reilly Press - lots of great tips but a little geeky. Enjoyed tips such what blogging platforms to use, free and paid podcasting services, equipment suggestions and software apps.
