Podcasting for CASH$$$
Do people podcast for cash?
A money making scheme...it's perfect! Rant and rave about stuff, any stuff really...and be soooo interesting that people who listen, ACTUALLY want to help pay your bills. Fabulous scam, huh? Is that a scam or a idiotic possibility?
Anyways...on the website podcastalley.com you can find any number of topics to listen to some benign, some hilarious, some very dirty. So....be careful! Some of the titles are very creative, and so I had to look...but I ended up being embarrassed and blushing...so heed my warning!
Here is a screen shot of a bunch of things I signed up for...I used my google account, so that hopefully I'll use more of the features. CLICK ON SCREEN SHOT & U CAN SEE IT BIG!)
I signed up for a Brass band Podcast, and a Jazz podcast, called Straight, No Chaser after the Monk tune and album from 1966. Check out the Clint Eastwood documentary on Thelonius Monk if you have an interest...it's a great portrait, of a gifted individual. We own it here at BPL...781.65

RSS to the rescue!
Do you RSS?? I do...well, I do...but don't really like it.
I have signed up for several feeds from sources that seemed interesting. I like the comic strip "Unshelved", and signed up for a random music feed on Jazz. Which I love...
I am finding that what I chose is getting on my nerves. Simply because of the sheer volume. I think the simple fact that I don't spend a bunch of time surfing and looking for entertainment has bogged or blogged;) me down. I use the Web for information and really enjoy reading headline news as well as science, technology and health related news. Ok, ok...you all know I read the really odd news too!
(often heard words in the Ref Office..."woah...hey Gina, check this out...) poor Gina...she sits very close to me and I am one of those curiosity killed the cat sort of people.
I simply need to take the time to incorporate the way that they work into the way that I read the news...then I am sure I would be hooked. But, I guess only time will tell on that one.
What I do think is useful...sign up for the NY Times Bestseller List, or the NPR All Songs Considered lists...now that rocks!
