There was so much information given to us, in so many formats

I just wanted to share with the group that I took a class by Penny Haynes of Encouraging Audio Books called Complete Podcasting Handbook for Busy Entrepreneurs.

I learned SO MUCH about podcasting. There was so much information given to us, in so many formats, mp3 files, video files, written text as well as the 2 hour class in a web conference room once a week. It was amazing how much valuable information was given to us for the class.

Even if you think you know how to podcast it really was so much more then just learning to podcast, we worked on marketing ideas, brainstormed with fellow podcasters, received voice coaching and so much more. If you feel that you want to "kick it up a notch" with your podcast do yourself a favor and check out the class now offered on CD.

She is a great teacher and I wanted this group to know it. She may be too modest to share this, so I thought I would share from a "students" point of view.

Hey, count me in as one of Penny's VERY satisfied students!

Hey, count me in with Barbara and Laura as one of Penny's VERY satisfied students! I started out knowing practically nothing about podcasting except that I knew it was something I needed to learn to do...and Penny sure helped me accomplish that goal.

I just got back from a week's vacation and haven't even checked my e-mail until today, but am getting ready to create a podcast from an interview I did with my co-host, Roger, on PC Primer last week. I plan to have it posted early next week. I couldn't have done it without Penny's class.

Penny,

In addition to my audio, I'll like to add the following comments on the Podcasting course. Your class, and the women in the class was awesome.

Listening in class, reading the material and watching the videos assisted me in "getting it". We all learn by various methods, and the visual aspects of this class are a huge bonus for me. I happen to have printed out the step by step instructions and keep them in a notebook that is open while I edit.

What a lifesaver that one part of the course is. I look forward to constantly improving as I go forth. Thanks again for everything.

The podcasting teleclass was very helpful for the "non-techy" person such as myself. Thank you, Penny! The podcasting teleclass was so informative and was very helpful for the "non-techy" person such as myself. I appreciate all your hard work and time invested in preparing for the class as well as your attention to details to help make the process as easy as possible.

I especially appreciate your patience when I was feeling stuck. I would recommend this class for all entrepreneurs who want to be on top of the new exciting world of "podcasting."

We learned everything from music to vocal qualities to audio editing to RSS feeds

Penny is the audio goddess and in her Podcasting class we learned everything from music to vocal qualities to audio editing to RSS feeds in order to get our own podcasts up and on the cyberwaves. The class was so full of specific and practical information and I know that I'll be visiting the material over and over again.
