Show Notes

Show number 97 October 20, 2008
On this weeks show Matt and I present part three of our series “Secrets of the New Media Expo Exposed”. In today’s segment we discuss some of the many lessons learned at the expo.

On another note you may have noticed shows have been few and far between lately but don’t worry we will be returning to our weekly schedule in November.

Why all the delays you ask? Aloft Group and Podtini are in the process of moving into a new larger headquarters. For Podtini this means a new studio and control room with an updated website to follow. We will also begin work on a video version of Podtini that will premiere around the first of the year. Stay tuned for pictures of the new studio.

Thanks for listening.
