I think this a great idea. You could have a show about freelancing, and at the same time you could teach us writers to use BlogTalkRadio. I’ve been thinking about adding podcasts to my site, but I haven’t been brave enough to play with podcasting tools yet. If FWJ was leading the way, I’d feel much more comfortable taking the plunge.

Yes, I would listen. In fact, I recently started searching the Internet for online radio shows for writers, and so far, I’ve only discovered a few for writers. Personally, I would love to see more online radio shows for writers!

Own radio talk show for FWJ?

WoW, I can’t even wait for the launching day…

I am one of those people who has to have background noise in order to really work well. I always have something playing on my computer as I work whether its a YouTube playlist, something from Hulu (yup, I really do listen and not watch), K-Love online, etc.

I would definitely listen in, though it might get distracting as I work, due to how much great information you present that I need. If you archived the shows as well, that might be helpful.

Also, with how much you and Jodee already do for us around here, I am really appreciative that you would consider taking on even more to help us out! You spoil us, you know!

Thank you.

Deb,

This would be very useful to me. I’ve been in broadcasting for 21 years (currently program director at WAY-FM / Nashville) and have found podcasts a much more convenient way to consume my favorite content. My drive to and from work have become much more productive.

With the blog subscriptions I’m juggling, I often find it’s hard not to get lost in all the clutter or find the time necessary to actually read the latest posts. Yesterday morning at 9am, I’d read it all and cleared them out. Right now, I have 160 posts calling my name. Ugh!

Most definitely. I love your website and can’t live without it.

I agree with Carly. My computer is old. Sometimes it handles video feeds well and sometimes it doesn’t. I hope to upgrade within the next six months to a year, so I would be more likely to listen once I had a faster machine.

I wouldn’t listen. It’s the same problem I have with podcasts, there are some I like and find interesting, but after a few episodes I give up. I can’t just sit and listen to something, I feel the need to multitask and when I do I end up not paying much attention to talk—I’d rather listen to music while I’m folding laundry.

If it were possible for me to listen to talk while reading something else, that would work and I would do it. It’s just not possible.
