326 iTunes 11.1 Now Syncs Podcasts With iOS – TimeTrade For Scheduling – PressGram – And Adding Contributors To Your Facebook Photo Album

Summary: iTunes 11.1 Now Syncs Podcasts With iOS Yesterday, it seemed as though everyone was focused on the fact that Apple released iOS7. However, Apple also snuck out an update for iTunes bringing us version 11.1. One of the most interesting features, to me, was that you can now sync your podcast subscriptions, via iCloud, with your Apple Podcasts app on iOS. I share my thoughts on this in the episode.     TimeTrade For Scheduling Years ago, I used to use a service called "Tungle" to assist me in setting appointments with a large number of individuals. That service was eventually purchased by RIM (Blackberry) and it quickly became less desirable over time. Recently, I found myself in need of scheduling meetings with a large number of folks for the NMX Podcasting Track as well as a number of fellow podcasters who wanted to schedule a time to interview me on their podcast. There are no shortage of online services that provide a solution for this. However, in this episode, I share why I chose to go with TimeTrade (Not an affiliate link).     Suzie Farthing & Reeger Cortell Discuss Podcasting A to Z Suzie Farthing and Reeger Cortell are both alumni members of my Podcasting A to Z online training course. Both Suzie and Reeger are in the nursing profession and have both launched podcasts related to their professional field. Suzie's show is the One Love For Nurses podcast. Reeger's show is the Weight Loss Surgery Podcast. The interesting thing about these two are that they were not in the same session of Podcasting A to Z. Instead, they met in the private Facebook group that is only available to alumni members who have gone through this four week course. After finding how much their show's had in common, Suzie invited Reeger to be a guest on episode 24 of her show. I was not aware of this interview until after the fact, when Suzie emailed me to tell me that my Podcasting A to Z course became a subject of conversation in the interview. I was so thrilled to hear about their perspective on the course, that simply came out of a casual conversation. I was honored by what they had to say and I received permission to play 8 minutes of that interview in this episode of Podcast Answer Man.     Sharing Photos Online In this week's Social Media Segment, Erik Fisher and I discuss two social media stories related to sharing photographs online. Erik shares his initial thoughts on the new PressGram service created by John Saddington. I share my thoughts on the news that Facebook now allows you to add up to 50 contributors to your photo albums and circumstances where such a feature may be helpful to building your brand.     Podcasting A to Z Do you want to learn how to podcast but don't know where to start? Podcasting A to Z is a four week online training course that walks you through each step in the process of setting up a podcast. You not only get step-by-step tutorials, but you also have the ability to get answers to all your questions during the four week session. If you have been thinking about starting a podcast, this is the course for you. Just head over to http://PodcastingAtoZ.com for full details. I look forward to potentially working with you.     The Podcast Mastermind Are you a podcaster? Are you self-employed or desire to be? Are you willing to invest in your future success?
