[el]

A new PDF based Podcast magazine is just a few days away from being released. Around a dozen podcasters/listeners have contributed to the first issue and the articles touch on various aspects meaning there is truly something for everyone.

What this space.

[Kell]

interesting. How do you get it? Where do you get it?

[el]

All will be revealed

[Kell]

I'll be waiting patiently :wink:

[Steve Pinder]

When I first heard about this, I was against it. But now that I'm hearing that listeners will have a part in writing it, I'm excited about it. Can't wait to read it.

keep us posted.

[frankmcma]

Wow!

Congrats on producing the magazine...very well done! I would say the design could use a little tweaking as far as spacing and stuff but what a great start. I have produced magzines myself and I know what a large job that it is.

If you ever want to do an interview or want to team up let me know..looking forward to Issue #2!

Thanks Franklin, we'll keep you in mind for the future.

Just wanted to let everyone know we're well on the way to 1200 downloads of issue one. Thanks to everyone who's helped spread the word so far!

[AaronfromQC]

I liked the magazine but I thought it was too focused on UK podcasters. Would have been nice to hear a little more about podcasters from all over the world. Plus two mentions for Adam Curry in the same magazine? Isn't there someone else to talk about?

[Big Mike]

Great job, guys! Very impressive!!

[womengrow]

Looks great, reads great! Congrats on the huge number of download for the intial issue.

If you are looking for future contributors, I'd love to do an article on how I (we) use podcasting as a nonprofit. Giving Real Opportunities to Women (GROW) is a nonprofit I started in 2003. In November of last year we launched the GROW podcast.

GROW helps single and low income mothers pursue a college degree, our podcast focuses on parenting and education issues.

Again, great job with issue 1. Looking forward to issue two. Do you guys have an enewsletter or email announcement service on your website so we know when #2 comes out?

[el]

1st March ;)

Thanks for the input everyone. We have plans to look at podcasts from all over the world in forthcoming issues.

[Dominar]

I find it very hard to look at it. The text and background images are very hard on the eyes.

[el]

are you giuys planning on addressing podcasts as a viable business?

We will be covering the business side of podcasting.

I find it very hard to look at it. The text and background images are very hard on the eyes.

Please make sure you are using the latest Adobe Reader or FoxIt. We've had some problems with people not using up to date software.

Can I also ask that any more comments on the mag be made at www.podcastusermagazine.com[/url]
