Podcast Promo Institute

PPILogo

PPILogoI’ve recently launched a new site for people to share their promos and I encourage everyone to add their promos for others to include in their shows.

The site has dedicated feeds that contain only promos which is intended for podcasters to find new promos to play. You can browse the site by show categories or tags as well as subscribe to the category feeds to receive all new promos as they come in.

Soon we will launch a podcast to discuss shows and do interviews with podcast creators, producers, and service companies. There is an interview form on the site if you’d like to request to be interviewed.

The site can be found at

Short Story Released

I am excited to announce that my short story “The Destruction of Station One” has been released as part of Philippa Ballantine’s Chronicles of the Order. I am very thankful to be included with the collection of awesome authors playing in Pip’s sandbox. The Order of the Eye and Fist series is set in a rich and vibrant land with a deep history and colorful characters.

Philippa’s first book of the Order, Geist, was recently published by Ace and is available now in bookstores everywhere.

The Boom Effect

Just a quick plug for a web event happening next week called The Boom Effect. The event will start on Saturday, February 27th at 10AM Eastern time via UStream.

This charity drive is a live, online auction to raise money for the trust fund of Tee Morris’ daughter who lost her mother on January 5, 2010. There will be at least 5 hours of entertainment hosted by Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit. We’ll be in the live audience cheering everybody on, and likely on camera on the main feed as well. It’s shaping up to be a really fun time. You’ll be able to bid from the chat room, through e-mail, proxy-bid on the website, and I think via video or audio on Skype or UStream.

And with over 70 items up for auction (so far!!) there is something for everyone to get excited about and bid for! Everything from jewelry, to pictures, paintings by celebrities, custom music, book dedications, food, clothes, signed DVDs and books, knitwear, and even Mozart’s Balls!! Seriously, go check out everything up for auction!

Hope to see you there!
