Just wanted to give you a quick heads-up on two new additions to the blog, both of which you’ll see in the right-hand sidebar.
The first is the option to subscribe to this blog via a podcast format. However, this isn’t me doing the podcasting – it’s handled by Odiogo, an app that automatically converts blog posts into audio files. The audio quality is actually pretty good, considering it’s (at heart) a robot.
The subscribe options are iTunes, Juice and Zune, or you can copy the feed into your own audio reader. I just wanted to make sure that the blog is as accessible as possible to everyone, and Odiogo will hopefully offer a useful alternative to any visually impaired readers.
The second addition is my BlogTalkRadio channel. I set this up a while ago but haven’t had time to sit down and do anything with it. Until now, that is.
The first episode launches at the end of this month, on Monday August 31 at 2.00pm EST with Chris Brogan. Chris will be chatting about his upcoming book Trust Agents (co-authored with Julien Smith), as well as what it takes to be a trust agent and an informal chat about new media, business, marketing and much more.
If you click on the banner it takes you to my Blog Talk channel, where you can subscribe or set a reminder for the chat. Future shows will include Gary Vaynerchuk and David Henderson among others.
And that’s that. Feel free to check either (or both) out and hope you enjoy the changes. Cheers!

Nice to see you stepping into the audio formats. I'm subscribing for the podcast on blogtalkradio now and will also check out the robotic audio versions of the posts
Soon, you'll be video blogging

Thanks for the Odiogo reminder. I'd tinkered with it and installed the service on my then-Blogspot hosted blog about a year ago. I suppose it's time to try it again via Wordpress.

I don't know much about “Odiogo” but after reading your post I thinks it's probably the best for me. However, when it converts blog posts into audio files does it give you a choice of formats? More on this subject would be helpful… thanks

Hi Pamela,
At the moment it's the MP3 format that the post or content is converted to. If you wish, you can then use software to convert that into a .wav or other audio file with an audio converter. It may be that Odiogo offers more options further down the line – I'll make sure to update if they do.
I actually did a video blog a little while back – some more are on the way
