Tricaster Died Tonight



Well for some unknown reason in the middle of my live recording tonight my Tricaster died. Will be calling tech support in the morning to find out what the procedure is.

I can only shudder to think if this had happened during the 24hr Podcast or the Podcast Awards. I am not a happy camper at the moment.

Update RMA Issued by Newtek and the box is Fedex Overnight to San Antonio. The folks there have been nice enough to do a rush repair. Hopefully it is back in my hands next week.

Tech Podcast Network at CES 2009



2008cestpnAndy McCaskey one of the team members going to CES 2009 representing Tech Podcast has put up a informational page on how companies can work with us to get great exposure during the 2009 event.

As we get closer to the event we will be populating the page with data on what our planned schedule is and introduce the additional team members.

Our Team Coverage begins on January 6th 2009 Live from Las Vegas www.tpnces.com


TiVo a Pizza



TiVo and Domino’s have joined forces to get you your favorite pie without picking up the phone. You will be able to access your TiVo and like a website – order your pizza, soda and sides to be delivered in 30 minutes.

This is not a good move, it’s an interesting one. Services through your media box might just spawn some new ideas. Just like Grand Theft Auto – if you like a song, you can get it from Amazon.com. What if you were watching a movie on your Apple TV or VooDoo box and before you order the movie, you get a special on Pizza, Chicken or whatever. Maybe even your movie purchase could mean a coupon waiting at your favorite store.

Yep, the days of the Yellow Pages seem to be numbered. Then again, you might just see THAT on your TiVo or Apple TV.


24hr Podcast Postponed!



24hrbuttonThe 24hr Podcast has been postponed. This afternoon my grandfather of 99 years passed away. I will be traveling to Michigan to attend the funeral. While I understand the disappointment of not being able to do the event this Saturday and Sunday I am sure you all understand.

My plan is to do the event the weekend of December 20 and 21st which will match the exact weekend we did the event last year.

24 Hour Podcast Apperance Opportunities!



24hrbuttonFor the second year in a row, I will be hosting the 24hr Podcast which is a non stop event that will cover podcasting, technology, new media, podcast advertising and a host of other topics.

This years event kicks off on Saturday Dec 20th at 11am EST and finishes up 24hrs later! This years event is to raise money for disabled veterans. We have a goal to raise $3000.00 this year. Last years event was highly successful

During the 24hr Podcast, I have a number of slots open for podcasters to come in share their stories and talk about their podcasts. Last year nearly 30 segments were recorded that have been downloaded and listened to over 600,000 times.

If you would like to be considered for a segment on the 24hr Podcast where you will join Todd for the event drop him a email at geeknews@gmail.com with the subject 24Hr Podcast and tell him about yourself and your show.

Members of Blubrry, Tech Podcasts and Podcaster News always get priority placement. Be aware spots are filling up fast.
