Bruce Chambers is a musician of 34 years playing sax and keys (check out <a href="http://www.brucemusic.com" target="_blank">brucemusic.com</a>). In 1999, Bruce's song Jodi was the top downloaded song in the smooth jazz category on MP3.com. <BR><BR> In June 2005, right before <a href="http://www.businesspodcasting.info" target="_blank">podcasting</a> picked up in popularity, Bruce got an urge to become a radio DJ, but never thought he could break into broadcasting since it takes too long to become a broadcaster and too much money to buy broadcasting equipment. Live365 was the answer at the time, but they were too expensive to belong to. Podcasting's popularity followed and the rest is history. <BR><BR> In September 2005, Bruce's first podcast was a simple one on saving gasoline during the US gasoline price hike. Then, his next podcast was on web design. As an unsigned musician who has sold his jazz CDs in over 45 countries worldwide, Bruce's first podcast series called the Fresh Music Series went live in December 2005 and was designed to promote unsigned talent. <BR><BR> After the Fresh Music Series yielded over 750 subscribers in its first month from simple promotion on web sites like Craigs List, Bruce decided to find other <a href="http://www.1stbusinesspodcasters.com" target="_blank">podcasters</a> to list on his web site and the Long Island Podcast Network was born. Now, from the success of the Long Island Podcast Network, ironically, Bruce has been asked by several local college radio stations to become a DJ and his show airs every Saturday on WebRadioWCWP.com, CW Post Campus of NYU. Bruce is also working with Richie Canatta, Sax Player for Billy Joel on the Battle of the Bands Podcast Competition. Bruce is married with a 3 1/2 year old daughter. <BR><BR> To find out more about the <a href="http://www.InternationalPodcastingExpo.com">International Podcasting Expo</a>, click <a href="http://www.co-opworld.com/member/50522/?intlpodcastingexpooverview">here</a>.<a href="http://quikonnex.com/channel/item/26182"> [2 COMMENTS]</a><br><br></li><li><a href=http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=26084>1st Business Podcasters: Meet George Smyth of Eclectic Mix, Presenter at the International Podcasting Expo</a><br><a href="http://www.DigitalBusinessBooks.com/Podcasts/InternationalPodcastingExpo2007_GeorgeSmyth.mp3">Click here to listen to the interview.</a> <h3><a href="http://www.PennyHaynes.com" target="_blank">Penny Haynes</a> of <a href="http://www.1stPodcastPublishing.com" target="_blank">1st Podcast Publishing</a> and <a href="http://www.BrainStormBusinessPodcast.com" target="_blank">Brain Storm Business Podcast</a> interviews George Smyth of <a href="http://www.EclecticMix.com" target="_blank">Eclectic Mix</a> and the <a href="http://www.MusicPodcasting.org" target="_blank">Association of Music Podcasting</a>.</h3> 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 <a href="http://www.InternatinoalPodcastingExpo.com" target="_blank">Online International Podcasting Expo</a> on April 20-21, 2007. You can get your tickets <a href="http://www.co-opworld.com/member/50522/?intlpodcastingexpohome" target="_blank">here</a>. <BR><BR> 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 <a href="http://www.MusicPodcasting.org" target="_blank">MusicPodcasting.org</a>. <BR><BR> 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. <BR><BR> These days he maintains these shows through the <a href="http://www.EclecticMix.com" target="_blank">EclecticMix.com</a> and <a href="http://www.OneMinuteHowTo.com" target="_blank">OneMinuteHowTo.com</a> websites, and welcomes all comers. <a href="http://quikonnex.com/channel/item/26084"> [COMMENT]</a><br><br></li><li><a href=http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=25935>1st Business Podcasters: Lamar Morgan - Power Networking</a><br><img src="http://images.squidoo.com/resize.php?width=60&filename=lm9294ecc4cc47cb2886e46ea3e8f42087_Lamar_Morgans__Portrait.jpg" align="left"><a target="blank" href="http://quikonnex.com/search/displayenc_pop.php?itemid=25935"> <h3>Click here to listen to the podcast.</h3></a> <p>In today's <a href="http://www.businesspodcasting.info">business podcast</a>, we interview Lamar Morgan of Power Networking.</p><p></p>For more information about Lamar, check out his Squidoo lens at<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.squidoo.com/CDMM">http://www.squidoo.com/CDMM</a><br /></div><br />but until then, here's some interesting information about networking from Lamar:<br /><br /><div id="module1510462" class="module"> <h2 class="module_title">Why Engage In Power Networking? </h2> <h3 class="module_subtitle">To Expand Your <a href="http://www.brainstormbusinesspodcast.com">Business </a>Audience</h3> <div class="write_module"> <img class="write_image" src="http://images.squidoo.com/resize.php?1171328420&filename=draft_lens1257437module1510462photo_Power_Network_1.jpg" id="moduleImage1510462" /><p>The purpose of <b><i>power networking</i></b> is to connect your business to an ever-expanding network of opportunities.
