Calling All Podcasters: Need Seminar & Workshop Presenters for the October Podcasting Expo!

Calling All Podcasters: Need Seminar & Workshop Presenters for the October Podcasting Expo! Yes, I know the Women’s Podcasting Expo just finished up this weekend, but Podcasting doesn’t stop just because an Expo is over!

I’m going to share a short audio that one of our newest members posted. Debbie Berths’ excitement and sentiment is an example of what I hear after each Expo.

We’re learning a lot of lessons as we go along, since no one has ever created completely online audio/visual podcasting expos like these. So we are doing something different for this upcoming Expo. I am giving the Podcaster Central Members first dibs, since I would rather work with people who love podcasting, AND love networking with and learning from other podcasters.
