The Summer of Podcasts II contest is rolling along. I don’t have a code for you this week but the shows listed below do. There are a BUNCH of cool prizes you can win just by listening to each of the shows below that are produced during the week of June 28 – July 7.
Go check out these shows and listen for the promo code.
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
Ok.. I just noticed that the Today in Aviation podcasts for the 21st and 22nd didn’t release as they should have. I’m away from my studio computer until Tuesday morning so I will re-upload and try to re-release them.
NO I DIDN’T PODFADE!
***UPDATE They are released! Check out the 2 posts below for the 21st and 22nd Today in Aviation History Podcasts

Due to some conflicting issues, the Geek of the North podcast will be recorded in a rare Friday night recording session. Stay tuned to the twitter feed (@geekofthenorth and @mgdell) and you will get a link to a live video of the show as I record it.
Right now it’s time for my nap. I’m guessing around 9pm Eastern Time so stay tuned!
I’ve updated the sidebar, so you can click (over on the right hand side of the front page) on an icon or link to subscribe in your favorite podcatcher or feed reader.
Today I talk about a use for Google Reader that wasn’t available a week ago.
I talk about Google Listen for Android. I’m about to retire my iPod for Podcast Listening. My Droid does it all!
I played a song called “google” from Tom Smith over at Musicalley.com
Starting March 1st there will be a new podcast from GOTN called “Today in Aviation History” . See the post below this for information on how to get that.
Like to say thank you to Mike from Perth, NSW, Australia and Jim From Ohio for joining me on ustream.tv for the live recording. It was great chatting with you guys after the show!
Thanks for Listening!
Catch you Next week!
If you like Geek Of The North, you will likely enjoy Jeffery Powers podcasts which can be found over at www.geekazine.com
The second show here on Geek of the North will begin as a daily (7 days a week) podcast talking about all the things that happened on this day in history of aviation. As you know, I am an aviation geek and I’m also a History geek. So why not combine my passions and create a short (5 min. or so) daily podcast? Well, I’m going to do it.
I will have more information here on Geek of the North in a week or so.
**Update – The new podcast RSS feed is – http://geekofthenorth.com/feed/tiah/ – Just cut an paste this into your favorite podcatcher – It should be listed in the itunes store soon. **
Tune in Thursday to a podcatcher near you for the regular weekly Geek of the North Podcast.
As you can see, I’ve been tweaking and tweaking the look of this website. Partly because I could never get it “just right” and partly because I’m having a ball learning more and more about WordPress.
As you also know, I’ve had a couple of false starts on launching the podcast. Part of that is I was trying to do a show that isn’t my style. Much like Strange Today. That was a great podcast, but it wasn’t “me” and if I can’t just be me, then I’m not motivated to do it on a regular basis.
So, to that end, I’ve widened the scope of what I want this show to be. It’s going to be ME talking about the tech subjects that I like to talk about in a way that I like to talk about them. Relaxed, unscripted and comfortable. Like I’m talking to you over a beer or cup of coffee. I hope you will like the new format.
I’m also going to be sticking to a strict schedule. (yeah, I’ve said that before) So, anyway… My schedule is as follows:
Monday: No Podcasts. Use this for Web work
Tuesday: Record Mike Dell’s World (main feed)
Wednesday: Other recording projects (like BanjoTrax on Ed’s Mixed Bag)
Thursday: Record Geek Of The North
Friday: Record What’s Up With That (once in a while) and/or record the ***yet to be named new show with co-host***
Unscheduled: ipadio updates (see www.mikedell.com for info on that) and / or record Mike Dell’s World (unplugged feed) Also, record for www.flightradio.com as needed.
I want to take my podcasting to the next level of dependability.
I really appreciate that you take a slice of time out of your week to listen to me and I think it’s only fair that I make sure I’m there for that time, every time and all the time.
