So as I mentioned before my sister Kimmie is keeping a Blog for a class she is and I noticed today that she posted about some questions she’d like to ask me about podcasting so how could I resist posting the answers? I couldn’t. Hope these work for you little sister……

What made you start podcasting?
I got an iPod and in researching software and stuff for it I came across the concept of Podcasting. Since I had blogged for several years it seemed like a no brainer extension of that and so in December of 2004 I did my first Reality Bitchslap Radio. It quickly took on a life of it’s own and then I got into the concept of Podsafe Music and some people told me I should try a music show so I did. And well…the rest is history. *grin*

Did you ever think when you started, that it would become this big a part of your life?
No. Not at all. I knew it was going to take some time and be yet another thing I was in to. In fact I remember Laura shaking her head and going “oh great another hobby.” So it’s obvious neither of us thought it would get to the point where it is right now.

What are some of your favorite things about doing podcasting?

• Getting artists thanking me for playing their music
• E-mail from complete strangers who had some sort of emotional connection to a show, tune or subject that comes up on my podcast.
• Discovering and sharing new music with the world
• Meeting such a diverse and great bunch of new friends that I might never had

Least favorite things?
The fact that I don’t have nearly enough time to do all the adventures that I want to. If this was full time I could really make a difference.

What have been some of your favorite experiences that have happened that were a result of podcasting?
There have been so many, but feeling like a rock start while in California for the Podcast Expo was a definite trip. Everyone knew who I was and it was great to meet people left and right. That was fun.

Pulling off the Brother Love & Chance concert at the expo was cool as well. I want to do more of that!

Do you think you will ever stop podcasting?
Oh I’m sure at some point it with either evolve into something else or go away, but for right now I don’t want to think about things like that. It’s going to change a lot of things.

Define podcasting in your own words.
Audio and video content on the web that you can get delivered directly to you and enjoy whenever you want. Think of it as Tivo for web content. Radio as we know it is doomed and podcasting is going to have fun kicking the shit out of it. As more content gets produced more and more people are going to realize that they don’t need a TV or a radio. That they can get all the entertaining and informative content they want on the web through podcasts.
