HipCal

HipCal is a nice Web2.0 Calendar for anyone who is looking to use one. I have been using Yahoo! Calendar for a while, but that was mediocre. HipCal not only has a nice design and interface, but some great features.

First of all, it uses enough AJAX to make me drool with excitement and awe. Second of all, it looks pretty. The layout is neat and organized, but still has the information you need and would expect from a calendar. My favorite feature is the reminder. Not only does it have a feature to send you an e-mail when an event is nearing, but it will also send a TXT MSG to your phone. A great feature if you know you won’t be need a computer to get the reminder. If you are looking for a nice calendar program that is free, easy to use, and web based, this is your best bet. Later!

That’s exactly what AI-generated podcast pitches sound like – almost human, but missing something fundamentally authentic. As someone who receives dozens of guest pitches, I’m seeing a disturbing trend: more people are using ChatGPT to write their outreach, and…

  • Podcasters Poised to Benefit from YouTube

    My latest piece for The Podcast Host is up, and it’s all about how YouTube has rolled out their Podcasts page:

    We can see from that leaked presentation that YouTube plans to leverage two things it’s very good at for podcasters: monetization and analytics. 

    If your podcast is on YouTube, there could be an opportunity to monetize through ads, memberships, or their “Super” features, which allow direct donations. For podcasters who have trouble monetizing through other methods, this could be a big boon.
