Typically, I use this podcast to talk to you about the business of podcasting, using podcasts for your marketing needs for your business. But it's kind of hard to do that right now.

There is a lot of anger, frustration and fear right now boiling across our American cities and it just doesn't feel right, right now, to be talking about the business of p...

We all come up against obstacles when creating a podcast. Content, hosting platforms, audio sound, and podcast branding artwork are just a few. I talk with Lee Hills , a freelance graphic artist and animator, about his ongoing "digital project a day." What happens when your head is spinning with ideas? Maybe the best idea is to just create, or post, or publish, and get them out into the world. That's what Lee is doing. Creating a viable product as quickly as possible, and let the internet decide...

I discovered Neil Peart and Rush when I was in high school, back in the beginning of the 80s. He had everything that I always dreamt of becoming. He was just a master of what he did; he played this mammoth drum kit and was the master of the odd time signatures and just had chops for days. At the time, no other progressive drummers were raising the bar to the level he did. I'd never seen or heard another drummer like him. What did he do? Neil played his instrument like he was playing a symphony o...
