So, You Want To Be A Star

In this world there are many people who have something to say, but they may not have a venue with which to get their message out.

They may be budding, or accomplished speakers, or perhaps they are amateurs with the will to communicate a message that they feel strongly about.

Do you feel passionate about something that has the potential to help your part of the world, or even the whole wide world, if only you could let people know?

Do you have something really important to say and feel you are blocked by the frustration of finding a way to get the message to the audience?

Even if you are able to get radio or TV time, those generally have a limited audience.

Let's face it. In many parts of the USA and other countries of the world, radio and television reception is still limited if not completely non-existent. Yet the internet reaches places that conventional radio and TV are inaccessible.

Have you ever dreamed, even briefly, of being a talk show host with an audience of truly unlimited capacity? Of having the opportunity to speak on your subject without fear of someone cutting out the most important part of the message. Do you have a passion to get your message heard in a way that will do the most good? Then perhaps you should be a podcaster.

"What is a podcaster?" you may ask.

A "podcaster" is a person with a message, who creates a program which can be posted to a website as a "click and play" audio file. Then anyone in the world who has access to the internet may either click-and-listen to the program, or they may download the program to their iPod, computer, or other mp3 format player.

Sounds easy enough, right?
