I believe the purpose of my blog is to help those who read it, and improve the quality of their life. Having a podcast to compliment my blog will allow my readers to download podcasts to their ipod and listen to the helpful information when they have the time.

It just creates that much more quality to my blog, and in return makes the product more accessable to help my readers and improve their lives.

Thanks for your consideration.

I considered creating my own podcast a few months ago (and even attempted to record one), but rarely have enough time (and quiet) to focus on it. I enjoy having this blog, and have managed to increase my traffic to a certain extent, but I think that having a regular podcast would make this one stand out among other vegan blogs. I love the idea of having this done for me, and if it proves to be popular, I think that I would absolutely pay for it or take over and start producing my own.

When I listen to podcasts is when I relax or exercise. At that time, I am quite receptive to thoughtful podcasts.

I’d also like to be able to set up podcasts for my students, to assist them with vocabulary and content of the Physical Science class. I envision it as a study technique for audio learners – most of them have either IPods or mp3 players.

As Darren mentioned in the post, the contest is open through the end of day (EST) so you still have time to sneak in your last minute responses. Soon after we’ll set to task shuffling through each and determining our 3 lucky winners.

Warm thanks to Darren, and to all who’ve replied. I wish we could take everyone!

Not only that, financial concepts can take a while to sink in, people may not have the time or desire to read a blog post about taxes or IRA’s multiple times but if it was in the format of a podcast they could listen to it as many times as they needed until it made sense to them.

Thanks for the chance to win!

Firstly, because I don’t even know what a podcast is, so as you can see I need all the help I can get.

Secondly, because even though I don’t know what a podcast is…I instinctively know it must be something very cool…because the name is indeed quite catchy

Thirdly, because I have never won anything –except a jellybean in grade three for giving a good ’show and tell’…which by the way went for a record 33 minutes– in my life.

And fourthly, because even though I have no idea what a podcast is, I’ve somewhat gathered, (through reading everyone else’s comments on this page), it has something to do with sound, radio and video…and as you can tell (see reason three for proof) I have an extraordinarily strange ability to speak rubbish for long periods of time which for some reason or other (I can’t for the life of me figure out) seems to keep people entertained.

ps: I’m off to search your website because I’m going to find out exactly what a podcast is once and for all, and while I’m at it I might as well work out what a widget is too…

Since my blog is about supporting people to make a difference in their own life I think a practical personal development podcast would be an invaluable way for people to get the most out of the content and out of their lives.

I personally listen to podcast all the time and I take them on the road with me when I’m driving. This has been a great way to virtually eliminate commutes while utilizing my university on wheels.

After years of sharing my expertise in the field of hairstyling (I am a former professional hairstylist) in the form of articles for online companies and magazines I finally took the plunge and started my own hairstyling blog.

While there are many hair related blogs in the blogosphere mine is one of the few that is actually written by a professional in the industry. There are so many hair care and hairstyling myths out there that I would love the opportunity to use any medium available to provide my readers with solid information.

I created my first ever podcast a few weeks ago and love the experience. Being able to do this on a regular basis with a professionally created podcast would be like a dream come true.

If anyone from FirtsBlogMedia is reading this, please contact me. I’d love to find out more and see if there is a chance to work with you.

I would like to have a podcast on my blog because the content of newslite.tv (odd news stories) seems to lend itself well to an audio format and has wide appeal.

I guess the question should be why am I not already doing one?

Because I come from Birmingham in England where the accent is regarded as the worst sounding in the UK. Who wants to listen to a monotone Ozzy Osbourne sound-a-like podcast?

- because it’s the first competition of this sort that i want to win not just for the sake of competition but also because i really want to win the prize!

- because i’m so pleased with what happened when i added images to my blog. sound will make it even richer!

- twice a month sounds absolutely ideal. it will add just enough spice without overwhelming my readers with too much novelty

- one of the reasons why i haven’t podcasted yet (i know, i’m SO behind the times) is because i’d like to have something that’s high quality and i just haven’t gotten around to looking into how to do that yet. so winning this with you will just make this fall into my lap!

- you said getting started is SIMPLE? oh, i LIKE simple! click, click, click, and it’s done. yes, i can get on board with that.

- some of my material lends itself perfectly to podcasting already. a lot of my posts are very conversational already.

- i’ve been wanting to do something auditory-oriented (e.g. some relaxation material) for years. how would you like THAT as a challenge?

- i’ll twitter about it like crazy. actually, i’ll go and do that right now!

I have wanted to do podcasting, but have these setbacks: quality of equipment, understanding the technical part, and though I have a decent sounding voice, I get nervous, and have a lot of ums… ,when I try to record something,

Real Estate investors are very busy at this time, and need something that can be listened to while on the Go.

The more I write about my own journey towards financial freedom, the more I realise financial literacy is something solely lacking even in my own life when I just started working and I’m trained as a accountant! We are trained to take care of other people’s monies but not our own.

A podcast would allow those who absolutely abhor to read my posts a chance to listen to luscious voices speaking out to them just like radio!

Be well and prosper (through podcasting!) ;-)
