Jeremy Keith
January 30, 2014 18:11Huffduffer is a great service for podcasters and it happens to be built by one guy - Jeremy Keith. Listeners of SSKTN will know that I, Chris Enns, am a big fan of Huffduffer so I wanted to have Jeremy on to chat about Huffduffer. We talked about where the idea came from, the nerdy origins of the name and ways to help your podcast look better when it gets Huffduff’d.
Mike Vardy

It’s Not You, It’s Just Me
December 03, 2013 18:11No guest this week due to a scheduling issue but I still wanted to record a few quick thoughts on an idea I’ve had for podcasters (new and pro) that might be interested in building their podcasts better - together. Kumbaya!

Merlin Mann
July 02, 2013 18:11It would be hard to overstate how much of an influence Merlin Mann has had on my online escapades. From the way I blog on my weblog, toot on my Twitter or tumble on my tumblr. You get the idea. This was 5 parts therapy, 8 parts fun and 10 parts nervous, giddy laughter (on my part). A total of 23 parts. Or a “full Merlin” as I like to call it. So fun.
