Paul Shafer from "The Story of Us" podcast stops by to talk about creating his podcast. Getting everything just right before launching. He talks his fears and hopes for the podcast as well as finding the right co-host. Also, how difficult is it to sell a podcast where the content is always about a new person?

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!

Multiple Book Author and Podcaster, Grammar Girl joins us this week to talk about accidently building her Grammar Empire. On top of a few degrees and being a master at everything I learn that she's also designed her own "Word Game" for the iPad! She's smart, friendly and fun to talk too. Her podcast is only a few minutes long but she's great at making it both fun and informative. Mignon was a pleasure to talk to, I'm hoping to find a way to have her on the show again in the future, though I just won't trust her to hold a microphone! Ha! (you'll have to listen to the episode to see why) If you're looking for ways to keep your podcast fun, informative as well as find ways to attract and keep your audience then this episode is for you! You can find Mignon on twitter @grammargirl as well as over at grammargirl.com. Also, look for her new game, "Grammar POP" on your iDevice!

Daniel J. Lewis from "The Audacity to Podcast" visits Podcasting 101 to talk all things podcasting. If you haven't guessed by now...it's sort of what we both do. Though Daniel had been around quite a bit longer than I. He's got this "How to" podcasting thing down! Wait...wait...before you click unsubscribe and hightail it over to his podcast I would just like to say...there is room in your feed for both of ours shows! LOL Daniel also runs his own network, Noodle.mx network. He has a handful of shows on the network as well as another fist full of shows that he has brought into the network. He has a ton of advice to give and hands it out freely on this show...not to mention weekly on his podcast...and his blog! This man is a jack of all trades when it comes to podcasting. Without even knowing it he's kind of a mentor, I think he's doing great things for us podcasters and for that I'd like to say thank you! Now, we do things a bit different, and thats ok...but at the end of the day we both love podcasting and we both love helping people out! Also, if you're looking to run a companion podcast, a podcast about a TV show series then this episode goes deap into how exactly to go about doing that. Lots of great information! This is something that I've been working on myself. I soon will be launching my own "Companion TV show podcast" so it was something that I was interested in learning! Also, in the near future I hope to have running blog up soon on the "Under re-construction" website and I hope I can be half as helpful as Daniel. I really do recommend checking out his website and saying hey to him on Twitter @TheRamenNoodle. Thanks again Daniel for coming on the show and I hope we get a chance to yap again in the future!
