- Mike, The Geek of the North (because my wife said so!)

As you know, I’ve been doing 3 podcasts regularly for some time. Maybe not as regular as I should. I’ve been looking at my real-world schedule and came to a couple of conclusions.

1. Geek of the North needs to go to 2 times a week

2. Mike Dell’s world should move the weekend as it is my Hobby Podcast/blog

3. Tuesday is not a good day to podcast for me. I have a radio show on Tuesday night which makes my mornings busy on Tuesdays.

So the plan I’ve come up with is as follows:

Monday – Geek of the North recording to release on Monday night
Tuesday – No podcasting
Wednesday – Aviation History this week Recording to release on the following Monday
Thursday – No podcasting
Friday – Geek of the North Recording to release on Friday
Saturday – No podcasting
Sunday – MDW recording (unless I make an unscheduled episode) for release Monday

The Unplugged feed and the Ipadio feed will be updated as the mood strikes and What’s up with that might happen once in a while.

I’m really wanting to take my podcasting to the next level and try to grow audience and community. Geek of the North and Aviation History this week are going to be my more “professional” podcasts. Mike Dell’s World will continue to be my Hobby podcast.

I’ve also started a newsletter for Geek of the North. It’s an announce only mailing list and I will only post 2 times a week with the shownotes and other information about the podcast. Join the list here: Newsletter

Subjects covered on Today’s podcast:

Is broadcasting on AM/FM dying? Or Dead?
-I talked about some of our local stations and about Clearchannel and other BIG radio groups.

I phone 4G left in a bar? Sounds fishy to me!

I replaced my droid. With another droid. No problem, took 10 minutes and everything was on the new phone as soon as I logged in. Cool (in a scary way!).

Talked about the move of Today in Aviation History to a weekly show over at Flightradio.com

Thanks again for listening and I will try to get back on Schedule with a Thursday morning show.
