Authors Access

On January 8th, 2010, we convened a roundtable discussion on Podcasting for Authors with Victor R. Volkman, Irene Watson, and Alan E. Smith. Each of the principals invited has been recording and distributing podcasts for several years through Authors Airwaves, Inside Scoop Live, and UnBreak Your Health, and podcast programs respectively. Our discussion ranged through a wide variety of subjects from production to promotion to book tie-ins and of course, getting started.1. How did you get into podcasting?2. Is it hard to do, do I have to learn a lot of stuff?3. Should I use blogtalkradio or do-it-myself?4. How do I get guests, what do I talk about?5. How do I promote the podcast?6.
