PodfinderUK Ep 42

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

We thought it was about time for a whole new look to our amazing show. So this week you get to experience it first hand. Our producer James suggested that we keep the show looking fresh. We put our heads together and  with a few changes here and there and a whole lot of man hours we managed to spice things up and create the new face of PodfinderUK. With having told you that, I’m sure you are keen to get on with the show. So enjoy!

To kick off this weeks show we dive into a video podcast called Keith and the Girl TV. This show is extremely funny as Keith his girlfriend and their mates film themselves doing the most random activities imaginable.

This is followed by a great audio show called Dan Carlin’s hardcore History. This man knows his stuff. If you up for a challenge or just a few interesting facts, look out for Dan’s review.

Now from History to Horror and facts to Fiction we look at Neil Dixon’s audio book podcast, Persistent Spirit. The story is set in the early 20th century, Edwardian times. This pathological cynic of all things paranormal is catapulted into a collision course with an undeniable supernatural force. So be prepared to have chills sent down your spine.

After listening to a episode of Neil Dixon’s audio book, you might need to watch our next show called Relaxation & Chronic Pain Relief. Jason will help you relax and forget about problems you maybe having.

Our last show Digital Flotsam is a mixture of music, well told stories and discussions. With three podcast pier awards under his belt I’m sure this show will keep you entertained for hours.

Fitness Podcasts - Fitness Attack’s Amy Mac - MiniInterview

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Amy McIntyre has created some of the world’s most recognisable fitness podcasts, including Fitness Attack, Assercize, and Fit Life. Here is Amy’s 5-Question MiniInterview…

When & why did you begin podcasting?

I started “Fitness Attack” in July 2006 and Assercize and Fit Life followed. My husband created Podcast Alley in November of 2004. He was such a part of the podcasting community that the more I learned, the more I wanted to be a part of it. I was a personal trainer at the time and thought that podcasting would really allow me to teach and answer health and fitness questions on a bigger scale.

What is the most significant thing to happen to you personally as a direct result of producing your podcast?

Personally the whole experience has been rewarding for me. I love the feedback from my audience and also the questions and topic ideas that come from their interaction. Professionally, I’m grateful at how many people value the advice and the information given in each of the shows. I’m also excited that the first 100 shows of Fitness Attack are now in print! On February 29th, the book ‘Fitness Attack’ will be available at Amazon.com!

What podcasts, if any, do you regularly listen to or watch?

I think one of the great things about podcasting is the ‘on demand’ aspect. Depending on my mood, I can have the shows I want at the time that I want. I generally stick to news, health/fitness, fashion, music and food shows!

As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?

Growing up I wanted to be so many things! I have a short attention span (note that my shows are always short!) but I think I usually bounced back and forth from being a lawyer to being a musical theater star on Broadway. I held pretty true to these goals through college and I’m actually still up for either of those opportunities. After I graduated from Purdue University, I spent a year in banking and then moved to Chicago to pursue dance and choreography. I spent nearly 2 years there on a dance scholarship and then other opportunities moved my husband and I to Tennessee. It was then that I really had to choose whether to continue dancing or to give law school a try. I decided that I wasn’t ready for the dedication needed to sit in class all day everyday and I really enjoyed having an active lifestyle. I then realized that personal training would allow me to keep in dancer shape, provide a decent income and ultimately help others to find enjoyment in working out and staying fit. I’ve now been training for a few years and added the shows almost 2 years ago. I just couldn’t be happier with all the challenges that both present me.

What does the future hold for you and your show(s)?

I don’t think any of us know where our shows are going to end up. What would I like to see happen? I want to build an entire health and fitness empire! I want to have people take some of the information that I’ve given them and make a change in their lives. I want to have books and shows that are everywhere and make a difference in how people see health and fitness. It is already surreal to have Fit Life on so many mobile devices and also Tivo, so I’m looking forward to what the future holds. If nothing else, I have learned so much and have enjoyed being a part of ‘new media.’
