Books, Music, Burnout and a Mystery!

This podcast is a few days late or a couple of days early, depending on how you look at it. It’s also not the same podcast I originally recorded. This week I reveal what happened to the first one and I also talk about…

  • Beginnings: How do we capture an audience’s attention?

  • Books, especially Australian ones

  • Free music which can be used for podcasting, video making and any other purpose

  • My new Zoom audio recorder and how it performs

  • What not to do if you are afflicted by blogging burnout

I also try something new: My podcast, for the first time, is not one long unending passage of speech!
