Podcast Gurus Wanted

Jeri has suggested a great idea.

"Why don't we start a 'Help' list of people who are good at
certain podcast software. Someone, for example, who is good at
SKYPE who anyone who is a member could call or e-mail for
help. It might be Audio-Hijack Pro for example or whatever.
The local Mac club has such a listing and we could do the
same. You could set restrictions on it, for example, only call
between 6 & 7 on Thursday nights. You get the idea. Since we
have so many new members it might be something that would be
appreciated."

Other than the thought of being slammed with phone calls, I think this is an excellent idea :) Perhaps on the blog we can include those that volunteer. Of course the wiki is our repository of common questions and answers, having someone speak with newbies would help spur their interest in finding those answers on the wiki. Well that's my hope at least ;)

Leave a comment if you want to be a Podcast Phone Slave Guru.

Great idea, Tim!

We can use the wiki to track who's willing to help with what. I've created a page called Podcast Gurus on the wiki, where people can list what they're good at/willing to help with, and the best way to contact them. I've added information for myself as an example.

If you're a podcaster, or otherwise willing to help out people with questions, head over to that page, and add a listing for yourself!

If you're a newbie looking for a little guidance, help, or reassurance, head over to the page, and see if there's someone who has volunteered their expertise in the area you're looking for.
