SP as he is known to his close associates has dedicated his life to working within the system to bring geeky humor and science fiction points of view to the mindless minions in charge of providing the freedoms, security and infrastructure to our lives. Given the opportunity, SP would gladly slip through the Stargate to begin colonizing a new planet and living the Little House On The Prairie life or suit up to mine the solar system's asteroids for precious metals, gems and hidden signs of ancient advanced societies. SP has a lifelong fascination with geeky shows, advanced technologies, revolutionary science and apocalyptic tales.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a “back to basics” episode, and with a recent upward trend of seeing disappointment with relatively new podcasters, today we’re discussing the CRUEL REALITY of starting a podcast. We’re not doing this to discourage you from podcasting, but instead, we’re hoping that this will help you set your expectations at a realistic level and thus be more likely to continue.

In this week’s Better Podcasting Download, we’re going to tear down some bridges as we discuss the Bridge Ratings report on podcasting. Finally, we’ll take your feedback about your podcast including what you think makes it successful.
