Podcast Academy – The #1 Source for Podcast Education

And so it also – that’s the gift that it brings to education because now, you can learn what you want, learn what you need to know when you want it or when you need to know it and where you want to get that input. And so that’s truly wonderful, truly revolutionary and as you can see here, education in fact gets a pretty large slice of the podcast pie. Here we see a pie chart for people who are listening and don’t have access to the PowerPoint here. It shows the different segments that podcasting covers such as technology, TV and film, the Arts, Science and Medicine and so on and we see that podcasting has a very large slice there. And whether or not the – proportionally, that slice will grow. I don’t know. But the absolute numbers, I’m certain will be growing.

One of the things that’s very exciting for me as I – with the podcast that I’m doing and I mentioned – I did mention the one, Shrink Wrap Radio. I also – there’s a web site called MentalHelp.net and they’ve hired me to produce two audio interviews for them a month and it’s a very high-traffic site so that was an exciting opportunity and then I also – editor-in-chief of the professional magazine for the professional organization that I belonged to which is called the Qualitative Research Consultance Association, about a thousand strong and it’s an international association of qualitative researchers and I’ve started a podcast series for that professional organization to try to lead them, to drive them along this path as a way of educating our membership and again, using the interview format.

So this has really given me – it kind of puts in the palm of our hands the whole world. It’s so exciting. I mean, just an average person with very small financial investment and suddenly anyone of us in this room here, we have a potential audience the world over. You can imagine how excited I was to hear from an Iraqi listener in Baghdad and to get reports from him about what was going on there and what – I was able to interview him about, “Well how do you deal – you know, as a psychologist, I’m interested in how do you deal with the stress of day to day life in Baghdad or similarly to interview a listener in Israel and ask the same question about how they cope there, day-to-day with the kind of stress that they’re dealing with.
