This is Part 2 of the Business Link Brown Bag Presentation we gave on PODcasting for Business from October 2, 2008. In this episode we look into the nuts and bolts of podcasting for the do it yourself folks out there.

Thanks to all of the folks from the Business Link – Sonja, Heidi and all of the folks who attended – in Edmonton and at the remote video conference sites. There seemed to be a lot of interest in Podcasting for business and that’s a good thing.
