All Time Record for Podcaster Training Audience Attendance

Last night’s episode of Podcaster Training (September 19th, 2008) had an all time record turnout of 41 Live Listeners! Our Special Guest Speaker was Jason Van Orden, author of Promoting Your Podcast, and thanks to him and many of the listeners sending out “tweets” via Twitter, this helped to get people to the live show. I expect a record download of this episode as well as Jason was on with us for almost an hour talking about his newest project, Community Magnet, and answering questions from the chat room.

You can listen to this special episode in the player below. The show notes have been posted in a previous post.

In this special episode of Podcaster Training, our Guest Speaker, Jason Van Orden, talked about his book, Promoting Your Podcast and also about his new series called Community Magnet.

Since we had a guest speaker, our format changed a little tonight to accommodate this. I don’t think the listeners minded at all since Jason had a lot to contribute to our main topic tonight, Building Your Audience.

Since Jeff has announced that he will be leaving the show to restart Wordpress Weekly again, I will be incorporating some new changes and additions to the show. I sent out a post earlier in the week about these changes and additions, so be sure to check that out.

I announced a new weekly challenge tonight. Jeff does this on his Perfcast show and I really liked the idea, so with his permission, I’m doing it now! The challenge for this week is to post a comment to this post, include your name and e-mail address (since I run an open commenting section) and tell us what you liked most about Jason’s discussion he had tonight. A winner will be chosen at random and will win a free copy of the RSS Announcer Software (valued at $97.00 retail). I will announce the winner of this challenge next week on the show and once again issue another challenge. I think you’ll notice that these challenges will get harder as time goes on, so enjoy them while they are tame!

Next week will mark Jeff’s last night as Co-Host on Podcaster Training. Our topic will be Monetizing Your Blog or Podcast. I will also make some time for a “going away party” for Jeff on his last night. This will be incorporated into our After Show and we can have fun with it that way!

I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed Jason Van Orden being back on the show again! Listen to this great episode in the player below to get the most out it!

See you next week!
