Hey Andy, Here’s my question. I’m pretty much technically illiterate. I listen to alot of podcasts, but don’t know the first thing about starting one. What do I need to know/do to get started? Thanks!

My question for Andy: I’ve been blogging for the past few years, and I’ve seen gradual growth. What suggestions do you have for taking my platform to the next level? And how do you know that you’re ready to advance your platform from blogging to podcasting?
Bob Winchester blogs at http://corporateculturerevolution.com/
Andy, we’ve all heard many of your podcasts and have learned much. I’m curious if you would be willing to share a time that interviewed someone, but feel like you were too easy on them because you were intimidated or enamored? How would you do it differently?
