For the second podcast recorded the night of my blogiversary party at Manuel's, we passed the recorder around the table so everyone could talk for a few minutes about their blog, the benefits of blogging, and all that jazz. You'll hear from:

• Sherry Heyl of An Entrepreneur's Journey and Empowering Concepts
• Thomas Strickland of Grabbingsand
• Nikki Strickland of Alenda Lux
• Currer Bell of The Daily Bacon
• Joseph G of monotonous dot net
• BJ of Sodomy Creek
• Tony Simon of Gratuitous Dumbasitude
• Jerry, whose blog I can't seem to find. (I'll update this when I find the link!)
• Doug Monroe of Peachtree Screed
• Alyssa Jackson of Drama Wench

As a bonus, Mel and GriftDrift interject some bite-sized political commentary.

Also included is Mostly ITP's new favorite song: "First of May" by Jonathan Coulton. (Yes, it's kosher for us to play the whole song; all his stuff is licensed under Creative Commons.) If only we had known about this song on the actual first of May! Thanks to Steve Eley and the rest of the hot tub cast crew for letting me know about the new king of geek rock.

This is the first of two podcasts recorded on April 20, during the highly nerdy "Five Years of Being Amber Rhea" party at Manuel's Tavern. Sherry started asking me questions about my blog, and I broke out the recorder. We talk about how and why I started my blog, and then move on to talking about blogging in general, and how a lot of pre-conceived notions are being challenged - especially in the business world - thanks to social media.
