Behind the Mic: The Cloudcast on Geek Whisperers

This past week we sat down with The Geek Whispers podcast team (Amy Lewis (@commsninja), John Troyer (@jtroyer), Matthew Brender (@mjbrender)) to talk about how we created The Cloudcast (.net) and the behind-the-scenes details on how the sausage factory actually works. It was somewhat of an Inception moment to be talking about the making of podcasts on a podcast, while podcasting with podcasting people.

Geek Whisperers Eps.13 - How to Create a Successful Podcast

Their podcast focuses on the intersection of Enterprise Technology and Social Media and they do an excellent job highlighting how the technical community can better leverage the various aspects of social media to enhance careers, build networks and improve their companies. We highly recommend adding the show to your regular podcast listening lists.
