In today's episode I sit down with Geoffrey Welchman, host of The Inverse Delirium. If you're a fan of podcasts such as We're Alive or Welcome to Night Vale, other radio play type podcasts, then I suggest you give this show a listen. It's NPR with a dry but very witty sense of humor! Geoffrey will admit that he's not the most savvy marketer, and not all of us podcasters are. But he does give great tips on keeping to a schedule. How he keeps things fresh in his podcast, and how he's brought in guests such as Kevin Pollack and Lewis Black to name a few. This is a great interview with a very down to earth guy who's not looking for a way to make a living off of his podcast, he's just simply hoping to entertain. Whether it be a couple experiencing Netflix adultry, an inside look at the Voice Over Olympics or a reporter stuck on a chunk of ice with Scientists at war with a brutal faction of Walrus's. This sketch comedy show has a little something for everyone!

In this episode of Podcasting 101 we sit down with former S.W.A.T. officer of the law and lover of all weapons, Casey Bohn. Casey hosts the Practical Tactical Podcast. I'm guessing that you've already got an idea of what his show is about... The cool thing about Casey is he's still trying to figure out some of the specifics of running a podcast, which is great because that's what this show is about. Those of us that podcast, love podcasting, it's just we don't all know every in and out about it. We all have strengths and weeknesses and learning is the name of the game. Follow along with us as we talk all things podcasting. We talk guests, interviews, social media, and just like all podcasters, we're just trying to stake our claim in the podcasting world.

One of the most reoccuring questions I get is "How can I make money podcasting?" Well, there are several ways to go about doing this. One of them is have a skill or offer a service that people want not only from your podcast, it is why they're listening, but also in person. Coaching is a big thing these days. Sometimes a little one on one action is the best thing! Jordan Harbinger does just that. He offers his expertise to all of his podcast listeners...outside of his podcast. This is a great episodes and Jordan was nice enough to sit down with us for far longer than we had planned so he could share some tips and tricks his fellow podcasters! He has advice for Podcasters of every degree...so sit back and as always, make sure you have that pen and pad ready because it wouldn't be Podcasting 101 if we weren't teaching you something!

Today we chat with Michael Rank, host of the "History in Five Minutes" podcast. Like always, on Podcasting 101, we talk all things podcasting, but Michael is an author so we chat about using a podcast as a platform for other media. There is a saying, If you can't make money on your podcast, have your podcast help you make money from doing something else. Ok, I made that one up. Michael gives great advice for beginners as well as talks about a few methods he uses to for both his show and his audience. My advice to you is this...Get out a notebook, wet the tip of your ink pen and start writing because this is good stuff here people!
