Sunday 10/29 Podfather Leo Laporte
https://twit.tv/shows/the-tech-guy/episodes/1435?autostart=false check out about the hour and fifteen minute mark to see us in the studio, and a sticker of ours on Leo’s Desk.
This weekend I crossed something off my bucket list- a visit to Eastside Studios and meeting a geek God, Leo Laporte. of “The Screen Savers” and “The Tech Guy” shows.
I have been listening to Leo forever, and cannot honestly remember a time when I wasn’t tuning into KFI on the weekends or firing up the TWIT app and tuning in for episodes of “The Tech Guy.” Being a lover of tech and all things geeky, “The Tech Guy” show has been my go to place to tech news and reviews, help when things go wonky (techguylabs.com is one of the best resources for tech help/news/reviews on the internet). He and his show are my dose of tech geekiness that completes my weekend, and when I can’t listen I feel out of the loop on tech news. Continue reading My Visit with the Podfather→

Anchor Our friends over at FSD Innovation Ann, Pablo, Jason and Wes started a Podcast just last week on this fairly new app called Anchor https://anchor.fm/fsdinnovation
Anchor is a Podcasting App that allows you get up and running in no time. The handles a lot of the hassles that can come with publishing your Podcast for listeners.
Why switch to Anchor?
💾 Free, unlimited podcast hosting
📱 100% mobile creation (in a new, fun format)
🤓 No need to touch an RSS feed, ever
☎️ Built-in phone call recording
🤙 Call-ins from your listeners
😀 Tons of other unique, interactive features
Anchor instantly converts all recorded audio into rich, colorful videos that play seamlessly on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and any other platform that supports video.
Instead of “liking” a segment in Anchor, you can actually applaud it (and if your phone is locked and in your pocket, you can applaud just by knocking on the back of your phone).
Anchor gives you the ability to add full length tracks from Apple Music or Spotify, pull in external audio clips, and add high quality interludes from world-class musicians and sound designers.
Chorus
Podcasts Plus People
Hear something that’s just too good to keep to yourself? Share it with your followers. Chorus is the place where you 😂 😭 and 🙌 your favorite podcasts with friends.
Screen Recording- great for process and how to videos
Files app- No longer a secret where your files are, this helps with saving, structuring and sharing.
True Multitasking- I can’t remember a time when i was only doing a task that only needed one app. App smashing is very popular, and help in this area will be awesome
AR- building in a framework ad functionality should make AR, already one of the fastest growing spaces in technology, even more prominent. Possibilities are endless, and applications for this tech stretch across all subject areas.
Bounce ideas, get inspiration, awe in the awesomeness of our twitter friends, connect with people from down the street, over the hill, and even across the state.
