As Podcasters, we are all grateful for the Zune. It has really promoted the shows. Todd Cochrane talks with Edward about what is new and how you can get free songs.
Edward talks about new features like “Buy from FM” and Marketplace. You will be able to take your Zune into McDonalds and get more music. Best part is the Zune Pass gets you 10 free downloads a month.

Well, it’s 2 days away. I fly out to the Consumer Electronics show. It’s a very interesting time for me and even now I am anxious about the trip. Still looking for Sponsors, so if you have a product you want to promote, let me know and we’ll work out the details.
I get into Vegas around 11 AM. Podcast will be done from Vegas (still need to find a good headset mic). The LIVE Show, though is still on. We have 2 great Panelists and will talk some great tech. If you haven’t watched the video from last week with Rob Greenlee from Zune and Gary Leland from Podcast Pickle, then you are missing out. It was a great 2 1/2 hour show.
…For 2008 that is…

Wow. What a great LIVE Show to end out the year. We had 2 great guests that are both in the Podcast range, therefore we talked a lot about Podcasting. Rob Greenlee is the Podcast Content Director at Zune, and Gary Leland runs the website PodcastPickle.com.
We talked a lot about Podcasting, how Zune is running podcasts, associations of Podcasts to iTunes, if MP3 players are stepping aside for Smartphones, if a Zune Phone will be out and a lot more. We also talked about Twitter, Microsoft Home Server, Vista, Quad-core Laptops and a lot more.
Hour 1
Hour 2
Well, I finally scraped up my quarters and nickels to get the plane ticket and Hotel reservations for VEGAS BABY!! This will be my first ever trip to Vegas. It’s a little nerve racking, but also extremely exciting.
I will be staying at the Monte Carlo. I am arriving at 11 AM PST on January 6th 2009. Will be there until 6:30 AM on January 12th. Hopefully there will be no snow in Vegas.
This will be an Awesome week with Todd Cochrane and Andy McCaskey. We will be running Back Channel, High def content and a lot more on the TechPodcasts Channel. In addition I will be pushing out photos and Blogs throughout the weekend.
I am writing this while watching and listening to the 24 hour podcast. This is the 2nd annual show where Todd stays up a full 24 hours talking with others. I have already been on the show with questions throughout the day. I will be with Andy McCaskey talking CES at about 8 PM EST.
This week I broke down and went to the Doctor. We found out that it was Bronchitis and I got the appropriate medication to resolve the cough. Everything has gotten a lot better except for the hearing. The ears are so plugged up I figure I have about 25-30% loss. The Doctor says it will subside.
