Here's a list of questions about podcasting that came up at the Jan. 11 NYC Pitch Group meeting. Any other areas of murkiness or mystery missing from the list below? MP3, Mp4, compression... So how do you make a podcast anyway? Can I have a step-by-step set of instructions please?Distribution - Once you make your podcasts how do you get them out there? What are the steps for making it appear on

Here's a story written by Alex Lencicki about a dinner party at my apartment a long, long time ago. I liked the party but I liked the story even more.When I get there, there's a long hallway like a cattle chute in a slaughterhouse, and I find myself being compelled down it -- nodding at introductions -- down to the end of the hall where there is this guy blocking the door to the living room.

It seems like, just for fun, once a year or so, the cyber-gods and deities of webdom, gather together on their virtual reality version of mount Olympus and gab about where to do good and where to inflict pain and suffering. And, while life for me, or at least, cyber life, is pretty, good, once a year, at this goddly gathering, I can't seem to dodge a particularly pointy pixelated thunderbolt

Here are some new Holly sketches that I've been working on. First is my favorite:Then of course we have the ubiquitous NYC therapist and the necessary after-therapy therapeutic cocktail: Also - I think I'd like to name Holly Lily. Lily. What do you think?***** Important note!Daisy not going anywhere.These sketches are just me trying to nail down Holly/Lily/whatever her name is.

I know this has nothing to do with Holly, illustrations, wine, etc.. BUT STILL. I'M EXCITED. I just did a story on venture capitalists & speed pitching and it made it all the way to number 2. Wahoo! That's better then last time.

Here's a sketch of the newly revised Holly (soon to be renamed to sound more "Englishy") complete with brown hair, svelte figure, updo and all. Do we like her new look? Please keep in mind this was done quickly in the computer so she looks a bit crayola-y or like she's been at the tanning parlor for too long. I'm not so crafty with the digital paint brushes so I'll whip something better up with

So the word is that Daisy and Holly, aside from switching over to British names (yet to be decided), also have to acquire tawdry pasts. Well really just Holly. Lives that include staggering home at the wee hours of the morning, maybe passing to hail a taxi, or maybe to vomit on the way to hailing a taxi, or maybe to hail a passing taxi, out whose windows you'll vomit. Anyway, the idea is: wee

I spoke with the client yesterday and among some other changes (more on those soon) Holly and Daisy need more British sounding names. Sophie (for Holly) and Max (for Daisy) were suggested, but I'm not wild about those.Any Brits out there? Baby-name-book combers? I grew up with Jessicas, Jennifers, Melissas and Amandas. I'm way too American for this!

Hi there,Soho Sally could use some help. She's been invited to become the brand for a South African Wine sold in the UK (I know, I KNOW so international and tres wonderful), however, at seven years old, she's much, much too young to even consider it. So she's talking to the other inhabitants of her world to find the person who'd be the perfect fit. Sort of like Cindarella and the glass slipper,

Last night I went to the Hatchery where I had a fabulous and interesting time reporting for a story I'm doing for Marketplace. It's all about the art of the pitch - you know - like an elevator pitch. What you say when you have five minutes to present yourself (something I personally never have to worry about).Stranger: So what do YOU do?Me: Ahhh....ummm... report stuff?*Stranger: Really? That's
