Ok, so I don’t like to boast (often), but I have to now.  I was doing my typical Google search for The Digital Media Dude to see who’s talking about me, and came up on this post by the TrainingZone.co.uk.  

 It’s an article talking about Positive Podcasting, in which the author talks about the basics of using podcasting as a training mechanisim.

 Well, 1/2 way down the article, I ran into the following paragraph:

“…One person who’s been there and done it is Marcelo Lewin. Marcelo podcasts for his US employer, and his ‘How to’ podcast is a good example of a well-produced (but not over-produced) corporate podcast dealing with the generation and marketing of podcasts. If it sounds like a crisp, clear production from BBC Radio 4, that’s because he knows what he’s going to say, has recorded it using a professional setup, and has edited his recording.

The message is clear: keep it simple, keep it relevant, and keep at it. This could be applied to a lot of training delivery, and indeed there are many good podcasts in the Learning and Development space (surfing iTunes will reveal a great number)…”

Well, what can I say….thanks Donald for talking about me in such a positive manner.  I’ll send you the $20 immediately! :-)

Here is the entire article:

It’s actually a pretty interesting article….not because they mention me in a positive manner, but in general (ok, maybe it’s partly because they mention me :-) ).

Cheers!

    Thanks for the reference to the article. I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts in general, and on learning technology in particular, and am regularly appalled at the general low production and content values in a lot on the learning technologies side of things. Your stuff by contrast is - as I said in the article - the way it should be done.

    Can I have my $20 now?

    Keep up the good work!
