Upfront: I do social media work for Blubrry.

Internal podcasting is one of those ideas that hasn't taken off as some would have hoped, but the idea is sound. It's an easy way to communicate to everyone in an organization. Granted there are some issues with potential information leaks, but it would work as a great motivational tool or replacement for an internal newsletter.

The podcasting plugin you're talking about is PowerPress and it is available for the WordPress blogging platform. It's a super easy way to add podcasting to your WordPress blog.

Good encouragement to go for another piece of added depth on our blogs and websites. It takes guts to ask for an interview, but I have found that asking is often all it takes. A lot of “big wigs” like to give back and will often help you even if your blog is still small, if they like your content!

The Blue Snowball is an excellent choice. This mic will give you such a clean sound when asking those industry specif experts the tough questions. I like the idea of podcasting. Opens a lot of doors and allows listeners to hear first hand your in depth knowledge

John, thanks for affirming something I believe, that podcasting was indeed an underutilized, under-appreciated form of marketing. Considering I’m devoting an entire chapter to it in my upcoming book, I’m especially grateful. It is most definitely a tool small businesses should be using.

Just a different thought on this, maybe podcasting never took off because not enough people were listening.

I, for one, don’t like videos or podcasts. I’d rather browse through a written page than have to sit and listen to all the content. I’m guessing others feel the same and, unless they tend to be the personality type that wants to digest every bit of information before making a decision (most don’t) they won’t take the time to listen to things like customer interviews and such.

I would assume John, that your podcast is your number 2 lead generator outside of your blog. You have a great one! But quit talking about it!

Podcasting is such a great form of communication and practically free with all the resources available. I hope it stays underutilized giving me a slight advantage over those who choose not to use this wonderful tool!:)

As someone who has created and distributed podcasts for 4 years, in association with writing blog articles and my ezine I can not think of may ways that I would have been able to attract so many leads and connect with so many thought leaders without podcasting.

Some of my podcasts from 4 years ago still get downloaded every month.

Podcasting also takes the risk out of people hiring you as a speaker, presenter or trainer as they have the opportunity to hear you.

One underused way of using podcasts is podcasting internally within the corporation for larget companies for both employee engagement and training.

A great place to start is definitely Blog Talk Radio as providing you have a topic you want to speak about you can podcast without worrying about the technology.

An alternative way of publishing is the Blubrry plugin which I understand has had great reviews though is not something I have used – I know many people have problems with PodPress.
