Ungeniused

70Decibels — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 12:00:00 -0400

Today's episode is not part of the Podcasting Step-By-Step guide, instead it's something I want to announce!

Me and Stephen Hackett of 512Pixels have launched a new podcast called Ungeniused. Ungeniused is a podcast dedicated to exploring how far down the rabbit hole one can go on Wikipedia. This often means talking about things no one should know anything about.

I'm really pleased to be working with Stephen on this, he's a great guy and we have a good time recording together.

I think and hope that you'll really enjoy this one. Please give it a listen and give us some feedback on Twitter.

Part 1: Ideas and Hosts

70Decibels — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:00:00 -0400

This blog and show were set up to help people get in to podcasting.

So, this episode is the first in a series of shows that will (hopefully) take you through all the necessary steps to set up a podcast of your own.

This first episode is all about having ideas and cultivating them in to a niche and the benefits of sharing your show with a co-host.

Please let me know on Twitter (@imyke or @THBshow) of any steps you'd like to see or in case you think I've missed anything
