Hi Mike, I enjoyed your article and have bookmarked it for future reference. My site is new and I’m still learning social media in the Bootcamp Training. I need to do a Podcast and a YouTube video which is all new to me. Although YouTube videos seem popular, I derived from your article that podcasts can actually be an effective marketing tool. The audience can be reached better on a more personal level and they can take the podcast with them on the road. I can’t wait to try one.
