Hey Guys,

This week is something different for the podcast. Rather than cover this week's SEO and Social Media news, I wanted to share something with you that has been bugging me.

I post to outline the content of this podcast will also be put live in the next few days with more detail.

Until then, enjoy the podcast!

Would love to know your thoughts on this. Have you felt the same frustrations? Let me know!

Well this week – I am in a great mood (you’ll find out why when you listen), so it was my pleasure to compile all the news for you this week. Although its now passed my preferred bed time, I didn’t want to be late with this!

Before I dive into this week’s Podcast – I wanted to report back on a great day I spent with Deborah Micek exploring London whilst she was over for a Social Media conference. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see her talk on the Friday night, but did get to see the sites with her and get very wet in the English rain!

Deb took plenty of pictures, so I’ll see if I can ask for some and post them.

Now onto the news and well – another buy week in the world of SEO and Social Media with plenty to report on.

I didn’t realise but last week’s Podcast was not submitted to iTunes, so that has now been done and all accepted! Hoping to make this a popular podcast for everyone to enjoy.

Of course, let me know what you think – and what you would like to have included and I’ll see if I can accommodate This time I have included the links to the full stories, so for further information, please visit the links below.

Until next time, have a great week – and I’ll speak to you soon!

So there we have it! My first Podcast all recorded, uploaded and edited and about to be put “live”!

OK, so the editing is basic at the moment but as time goes on, I really want to enhance the sound with jingles etc. I’ve heard some great examples, so looking forward to getting custom ones.

I have a confession though – I was silly and forgot to mention that you will be able to get the links to the full stories on the blog, but not only that – I have not got round to getting the links for you this time! Sorry!

However, in the future I will make a note of the links, mention it in the Podcast that you can get them here and post them!

So until then, take a listen (and download if you like!) my first Podcast. As usual, let me know what you think in the comments below. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!
