Liberated Syndication is fantastic! I've used them from day one and I have no complaints. They're super cheap and they don't tie you into some deal that you can't get out of. All I have to do is concentrate on content and they do the rest. Very cool!

"it's so easy your mom could do it"
I read this press release today & I must say that I was taken aback. Building a campaign on the suggested incapabilites of moms, many who are tech savvy, and even podcasting is a bit oft putting, and short-sighted not to mention old school...

Your link to podblaze has typo. It links to podblaze.xom rather than podblaze.com.

How about podcasting for your grandmother? That's me--granny to 12 and eager to learn more about podcasting. However, I also agree with the woman who says that there is some stereotyping in your headline. However, also know that some older people do find it hard to understand what they think of as new technology.
Permalink to CommentI will explore some of your links, but have found audioblog.com easy to work with...I love the fact that you can phone in a message up to 60 minutes and lo, it appears on your blog.
Anyhow, let us hope podcasting becomes easier and easier for all as it is a way to democratize ideas and go around mainstream media, not known for promoting new ideas.
Check my website--I have a radio show for older adults at kvmr.org. One of the segments is called New Tricks. I explained blogs last week.
Now I hope to make good use of short phoned-in audio edu bits on my blog for adults 50+.

Thanks for your great blog,
A new fan,

PodBlaze is pretty weak. I don't understand how someone can launch a service that claims to do so much and actually does very little. I recommmend AudioBlog.com for the easiest podcast creation tool. What's easier than recording a podcast by phone?
