Careers in Podcasting and New Media

I have been talking for a while about how podcasting can help to promote sales of books and it seems some authors are starting to get on the podcast bus.
I love The Splendid Table with Lynne Rossetto Kasper, but I found I was rarely around a radio when it aired. As podcasting started, I found […]

Here is a perfect example of what I was talking about earlier when I said that all authors and booksellers should be recording their talks and presenting them on their web sites and podcasts.
