Ileane Thanks so much for sharing those apps. I'll definitely start looking into those and seeing how they might be a fit for us. We're learning quite a bit about our own audience at the moment which has been really interesting.
Thanks for having me... hope folks investigate some of the stuff we were talking about..especially the apps... there truly is so much out there if you just find the time to look.
TomMartin my pleasure Tom. It was great to have you on the show. I had a blast talking about all those apps and mobile is going to play a big role in the things we do oin 2012 so I'm sure you influenced me on some level as well.




Thanks for the insights Tom and Srini. Another great podcasting app for iPhone and Android is Spreaker. Lots of great podcasts over there as well. Audioboo is also great for getting the show up on iTunes. I just added my podcast to iTunes last week and in only a few hours I got accepted and the show art was all there.
I'd really like to hear more on the topic of bloggers and brands too. Great show!
