Thrilled to welcome BJ Smith to the PodUp Podcast.  BJ is an ecommerce marketing coach, educator and podcaster on the Social Impact Show and Marketing Group Therapy.  BJ and I worked together producing podcasts for the Advertising Week conference this year.  We talk about that experience, why podcasting at an event could make sense for your group or business, and what podcasters have to do in order to more effectively market their podcasts.  Reminder to check out the brand new podcast from MPassy productions, ‘Radiate with Betty Liu.’  This is an an excellent interview series I have been working on that you are not going to want to miss.    BJ Smith’s Website - https://bjsmith.co/ Social Impact Show - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-social-impact-show/id1036400860?mt=2  Marketing Group Therapy Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-group-therapy-advice/id1006822862?mt=2 Pandora/Serial News - http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/news/a676886/serial-season-2-will-stream-exclusively-on-pandora-but-you-can-still-download-it/ Radiate with Betty Liu - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/radiate-with-betty-liu/id1052923037?mt=2

It's Just a Fantasy Sports Show host Joe Gallina joins Mathew Passy to discuss his show focused on fantasy sports. And as promised, here's a link to SoundCloud's podcasting platform which is now out of beta.

Thrilled to be joined by Josh Coller and Adi Sloan of VoiceCast Media.  They talk about their new business aimed at helping brands leverage the power of audio to convey their message, as well as their plans for the VoiceCast Podcast (which in full disclosure, I will be a part of as well). They are both really good guys and have a great plan to help businesses.   From the 'I've Heard That Before Department': I am always looking for more folks to have on the show.  If you recently launched a new podcast or are considering one, shoot me a note and let's talk about your aspirations right here on PodUp! You can reach out by following me on twitter @PodUpPodcast or contacting me through my consulting website MPassyProductions.com.    PodUp!

This week's episode features Chad Dougatz, owner of the Hangar Studios and host of the Chad's Pad podcast.  Chad tells us why he wanted to relaunch this brand and some of the folks that will be appearing on Chad's Pad in the coming months. He's a great talent and someone that PodUp Podcasts will support going forward.   Time to beat a dead horse, if you have recently launched a podcast or are thinking about getting into this space, I want to hear from you and have you as a guest on the PodUp Podcast.  Reach out to me via twitter @PodUpPodcast, go to my website MPassyProductions.com or email me directly Mathew@MPassyProductions.com.  Really want to explore why people are jumping into the podcasting arena.   Thanks again for listening and PodUp everybody.

David Patton is back as my guest on the PodUp podcast to talk about the massive potential for the podcast market and some of the new trends we have been seeing.   Plus we explore a new photo trend that David may have accidentally invented with his LinkedIn profile pic...the #Glancie.   Also, while I have been using the "PodUp" tag, this was the first episode where I get to test it out with someone else.  David's a good sport and made it work but time will tell whether or not it lives on.   Reminder, I am always looking for more folks to have on the show.  If you recently launched a new podcast or are considering one, shoot me a note and let's talk about your aspirations right here on PodUp!

My good friend and 'original podcast partner' David Patton joins me for the second episode of the PodUp Podcast. This was actually the first recording for this project where David Patton suggested the name.  But we also run through a bevy of other ones via domain searches.  (sorry, we do sometimes get lost in a tangent)   David and I also explore some other ideas for additional podcasts we could launch. While David will be a regular guest on the PodUp Podcast, we are looking for other ways to collaborate in this growing space.  David has one solid idea for Pods.com if anyone wants to tell them about this episode.   Reminder, I am always looking for more folks to have on the show.  If you recently launched a new podcast or are considering one, shoot me a note and let's talk about your aspirations right here on PodUp!
