Podcasting Update

Hey Readers!

I thought I would give a quick update as to what is going on with my podcasts.

First, Geek News Daily.  I tried restarting this last week and had everything done but the recording.  The day was not going my way.  I plan on starting it back up first thing on Monday with a little bit of a change, so make sure to check it out.

Second, the Global Geek News podcast.  While the blog is going strong, the podcast has been in hibernation for a while.  It could be coming back to life as soon as this weekend.  I am throwing around several ideas for changing the format of the show and I will likely post them here later to get some feedback or give them a trial run to see how people react.  I may even alternate between several kinds of formats.  If you follow me on Twitter and Facebook, you likely already know im moving to a premium content service for Global Geek News in hopes of trying to make some money for the time I spend working on it.  Don’t worry, you will still be able to get the Global Geek News Podcast and blog for free.  However, for a monthly fee which has yet to be finalized, you will have access to even more blog posts, audio content and even video content than everybody else.  I am also going to be having some Global Geek News shirts made which if you are a premium subscriber, you will get a discount on.  There will be two tiers of premium service, one which will get you extra blog and audio content, another which will get you video content on top of that.  Also, the higher level service will give you a greater discount on Global Geek News stuff.  That is what I’m looking at doing and I will keep you informed about that.

Last, the Unofficial Mahalo Podcast.  Unless a major development happens, this podcast is on hold indefinitely.  I don’t really have the time for it as it took a fair bit of prep work.  Also, it seems Mahalo has stopped doing lists, something I prominently featured in the podcasts.  I may pick back up on this podcast, but as of right now, its not looking likely.

Now that you know what is going on with each individual announcement, I have a special announcement that affects all of the podcasts.  They will all be streamed live!  I have yet to set up dedicated pages, but I will be streaming all recordings on Stickam bandwidth permitting.  If you want to see the behind the scenes stuff and watch things go down live, this is what you will want.  Right now, you can access my stickam page by either going to www.pcnerd37live.com or www.globalgeeknewslive.com.  I will have a dedicated page set up soon rather than just taking you to the stickam site.

And don’t forget, if you have a podcast and need hosting, I offer it at www.geekpodcastingnetwork.com!

While I don’t know when, there will be a hickup in podcasting when I move and possibly when I am in San Francisco for the TechCrunch50 conference.  That is all the updates I have for now, but stay tuned for more!

Looks Like I Won’t Be Home Alone This Weekend

Hey Readers!

Until this morning, the plan was for me to have the house to myself this weekend.  My mother was supposed to go to the wedding of one of her best friends up in the mountains, but decided this morning it wasn’t worth going.  She gave a big list of reasons why all of the sudden she decided not to go but the only thing that really had any relevance to me was that she wasn’t going.

This would have been the first time in a long time that I would have had the house to myself.  I like having it to myself on occasion so I can crank up the volume and enjoy myself.  I could have also used a small vacation from my mother but I guess that won’t be happening.

Now I am thinking about going out of town myself this weekend do find something fun to do.  I’m sure I can find something totally unproductive to do.

Also, Im thinking about video or audio blog entries so don’t be suprised if all of the sudden you start seeing video and audio players on the blog, but I promise what I post wont be too long.

Also, i have put up a donation link under all posts and on the side to help me with my moving fund, so if you can help it is much appreciated!
