Dave Jackson’s Journey from Basic Gear to Professional Podcasting
I had two people ask me about the "Behind the Scenes" operations of the School of Podcasting. I was nervous about doing this episode. If you're new to the show, I normally don't talk about myself for 47 minutes. As I had two people ask similar questions, I thought I'd share information about:
Where I Started (start ugly - great book)
My first podcast setup
My first "business office"
Why and how I upgraded (and why you probably don't need to).
What I'm using now for the podcast and the business.
I also mention the Podcaster Happy Hour (check out this new networking and education event).
