Penny Haynes of 1st Podcast Publishing and Brain Storm Business Podcast interviews George Smyth of Eclectic Mix and the Association of Music Podcasting.

George will be leading a session about how to find music that you can use in your podcast, and what music to stay away from. He is a veteran speaker at the Expo, and is an absolute encyclopedia of music information. He will be joining us at the Online International Podcasting Expo on April 20-21, 2007. You can get your tickets here.

George's passion for music began long before spending half of his college years as a Music Theory and Composition major. During this time he purchased a great deal of music, copying the best to cassette and giving it to his friends. Today, this enjoyment of sharing great music finds itself in the form of his Eclectic mix podcast, live since July 2005, where a single artist is spotlighted each show regardless of genre. This enjoyment extends itself to his position as President of the Association of Music Podcasting, which can be found at MusicPodcasting.org.

In an attempt to satiate his quest for knowledge, he created the One Minute How-To podcast, where guests are given up to 60 seconds to explain how to do something. To date, subjects have ranged from how to stop severe bleeding through how to order at Starbucks, so the listener gets a chance to learn and be entertained by a wide variety of subjects.

These days he maintains these shows through the EclecticMix.com and OneMinuteHowTo.com websites, and welcomes all comers.
