It’s official… I have a podcast.
Most difficult part of creating a Podcast… Naming the damn thing.
After a lengthy and rather annoying internal discussion with myself … I decided to do a little crowdsourcing to see what my social connections thought of the various names I was considering.
Seriously… for about a week the only thing holding me back from creating this Podcast was the stupid name. How silly is that?
Very silly…
I want to give a special shout out to all my Google+ and Facebook peeps that gave me help and feedback in naming this thing. I’d like to list you all by name but there were over thirty people that commented and that’s too many for this blog post.
Know I appreciate everyone one of you!
Soooo… With much pride and excitement I’m happy to present you with:
The Content Warfare Podcast
An Epic Guide to Marketing, Social Media and Getting Found Online.

I really want you feedback. This is my first pass at Podcasting and I find it hard to judge my own work in this media form.
You can leave me a comment above or hit me up on email directly with your thoughts, opinions, things you liked, things you’d like to see me do better…
Also content ideas, questions you’d like me to answer… All that great stuff.
Thank you…
I am Ryan Hanley and this is Content Warfare.
Awesome, Ryan!
You sounded like a real professional with talking, Ryan
Your podcast reminds me about my own – I need to work on it. Last time I did a Podcast was in March (I am a lazy guy!).
Did you already submit your podcast to iTunes? (I did have some problems regarding that!).
Question: do you plan to keep it at a consistent length or are you doing it at random lengths?
Q 2: What’s your schedule (I saw your second podcast on G reader, so are you doing bi-weekly?)
Another question: How did the script writing go? Did you write a post or did you write actual transcript? (I had difficulties with this one, I just wrote the post and then recorded the podcast based on that post – then I displayed the post as transcript).

Hey Jeevan! I’m glad you like the podcast…
I am going to try to keep the podcast no shorty than 20 minutes and no longer than 30 minutes… But we’ll see.
My schedule for producing the podcasts is going to be every other week… That allows me to produce good content without getting overwhelmed…
Lastly, I do an outline in a tool called http://www.Workflowy.com
It’s free and easy to use and allows me to create an outline for each podcast.
Thanks!

Your enthusiasm and passion for stellar content is awesome.
The podcast was epic… can’t wait for the next one. Are you
have Sheridan on?

Wow Les… really appreciate that brother…
Next one drops on Wednesday… I’m buttoning up right now. You’ll have to let me know if the 2nd round elevates the bar.
All the best dude!

Hi Ryan,
Great podcast! Not to add any more to your workload, but you could also consider doing screencast videos (like with Jing or Camtasia). I would LOVE to see a quick tutorial of how you use social media most effectively. Because my issue is that it seems like I’m wasting my time jumping from place to place. I don’t know what to retweet, who to like, what post to comment on, etc. There’s just too much stuff.
Plus, I hear videos are very SEO-friendly.
Thanks,
Elaine

Thank you so much… And those are great ideas… I’ve actually done a couple screencasts and I’m working on more. Here are two you might find useful:

I’m getting better at them and have a decent mic now so the sound is better on the later ones…
Thanks again and love ideas so shout them out!!

Hi Ryan,
Yes, you did a great job there. And did you say this is your first time? I’m sure you must have spend a greater time practicing for this! I had always wanted to do some podcast but my voice is always playing some funny games with me
Listening to you only make me believe that it can be done. I look forward to getting my first out also. Thanks for the great info.

Chadrack,
Really appreciate you giving the podcast a listen. The introductory episode is tough because you want to get a lot of housekeeping stuff out of the way…
Episode two is going to rock it Hard.
I look forward to what you have to say on YOUR podcast!
Ryan H.
Awesome Ryan!! Congratulations on your first podcast. I have a feeling this is going to be a great medium for you to share your message and knowledge. You have a great voice for it and your passion comes through loud and clear. Good job – can’t wait to hear more!

Appreciate you stopping by and down the line I may be asking you to participate! If you’re into that!

LMAO! Well I felt so sorry for you being a Bills fan that I had to say something nice to try and cheer you up
Yah I’m down and Go Redskins! RG3 baby
