I just wanted to take a minute to highlight the fact that three WordPress related podcasts have all made it to their 50th episode in the last month.
The WordPress Podcast comes in first, releasing their fiftieth episode on March 2nd and it was entitled “WordPress 2.7.1 released, WordPress.tv, How much do YOU love WordPress?”
Charles Stricklin and Jonathan Bailey continue to bring out episodes of the WordPress related podcast that started it all. My favourite episodes will always be the ones that I was able to be on, as it was a real treat in my WordPress career to have been a temporary co-host, and even a guest co-host on the show.
The second one to make it to the big five-O was WordCast. On April 7th, the released “Our Semi-centennial!”. They had Lorelle VanFossen, Liz Strauss and Jonathan Bailey on the show to celebrate. I have yet to be invited as a guest on WordCast, and am shamed to admit that I don’t consistently listen to their great show, but they have a super strong, well deserved following even without me always listening in.
Lastly, on April 11th, Jeff Chandler and I released our episode, and while Jeff did give the episode a little bit of a special notice, the episode was more about our special guest, Cathy Perkins otherwise known as The WordPress Wizard and so the episode was named “Interview With Cathy Perkins”.
All three shows are continuing to bring information to the community in audio form, and all do it in their own special way. I am happy to see WordPress continue to bring people together beyond just using the same software. WordPress is a community.
Kudos to all those involved with these podcasts. I hope to see you all make it to 100 episodes strong and more.

For those that didn’t stop by WordPress Weekly last night, you missed out on an opportunity to hear me chat about WordPress in audio rather than text, as I became the new regular co-host of the WordPress Weekly podcast.
For me, it has been sort of a full-circle thing, as I used to be a regular co-host on the WordPress Podcast with Charles Stricklin, and lately, I have been the regular co-host on Jeff Chandler’s other podcast, PerfCast, and so it seemed like a great fit for me, and a chance to dive back into WordPress.
It was also really nice that my debut was interviewing an old WordPress rockstar, Scott Wallick, who I knew better as the “plaintxt.org guy”, but will now be ScottWallick.com guy.
I really hope you’ll all listen to the episode, and come out on Friday nights at 8pm EST from here on out to participate in the show. It is recorded live, so you can call in or leave messages in the chat room.

Tonight, Jeff Chandler is back with another episode of WordPress Weekly, live on Talkshoe at 8pm EST and tonight he will be talking to Scott Wallick, the originator of the SandBox theme for WordPress, and someone I have linked to often, better known to most of you as Plaintxt.org.
They aim to talk about the Sandbox theme, as well as Scott’s sale of the theme, and his site. I hope to hear about his future plans, and that he is not only considering the money involved in selling his site, but making sure the best possible person is found to take over the myriad of themes he’s released.
Check out WordPress Weekly this evening at 8pm, or hit up the archive of the show after it is complete. One of the best things about doing a podcast on Talkshoe is that you can interact with it, so if you have any questions for Scott, I suggest you attend live in the chat room.

For those of you that can’t get enough of WordPress, I suggest you check out WordPress Weekly, a great podcast hosted by Jeff Chandler and currently co-hosted by Canadian, Keith Murray as they talk about all things WordPress.
Tonight, at 8pm EST, if you head on over to Talkshoe, you can listen live and actually interact with the podcast. Have a WordPress question, you can ask it in the live chat, or call in and have your say. It is a very cool system. Jeff and I use it for PerfCast each week as well, and when people interact with us, it makes the show and experience a thousand times better.
WordPress Weekly is a weekly oriented podcast that takes place every Friday evening at 8PM EST on Talkshoe.com. The format of the show will remain close to what it has been in the past. The co-host and I will discuss the WordPress news of the week. This could be plugin updates, releases, themes, version releases, development updates, a tutorial written by someone in the community, could be anything as long as it relates to WordPress. At the end of each show, Keith and I will give out our plugin of the week. This plugin is picked individually by us and is tested prior to the show.
I am aiming for a relaxing atmosphere where WordPress Users can gather around for 1 hour every Friday evening and discuss the latest happenings with everything WordPress. You could almost consider the show a virtual WordCamp.
So, if you have the time, please check out WordPress Weekly and celebrate their 40th episode tonight.

Jeff of Jeffro2pt0, recently put up another episode of WordPress Weekly, the informal podcast he runs to talk about WordPress, and this week the show ran two hours thanks to the interview with Lorelle, a strong presence to be sure.
From the show notes:
we covered everything from WordCamp Dallas to tips on using WordPress and then dove into some of the concepts of using WordPress to make money as well as general blogging issues.
The interview was less like an interview and more of a discussion between like minded friends with questions bouncing back from interviewee to interviewer from time to time.
All in all, its a great listen, and I highly suggest you check it out.

Both WordPress Weekly and the WordPress Podcast have pushed out new episodes this week, with each talking about very different things in the WordPress community.
WordPress Weekly put out their tenth episode, with talks of the WordPress 2.5 administration panel included colour sets, gravatars being added to the WordPress support forum, and some other great news worth checking out.
Over on the WordPress Podcast, episode 38, Charles and Jonathan talk about the continuing delay of WordPress 2.5, WordPress’ entry into the Google Summer of Code, followed up with some plugins and some answers to some questions.

So our two WordPress related shows have released another episode with the WordPress Podcast pushing out episode 37 and the WordPress Weekly Podcast on episode 9.
A fair bit of the WordPress podcast was devoted to what is going on with Charles and Jonathan as well as WordPress 2.5, which hasn’t come out yet. This week thought they do cover some plugins and answer some e-mails. The episode runs in at 42 minutes.
Over on WordPress Weekly, there was a lot more WordPress related news covered from BuddyPress being taken in by Automattic, to eBay using WordPress to power their blog. With a panel of five people, they have many different opinions on their topics, and it was an interesting episode as Patricia Mayo joined them in adding a female slant to what is usually a very male heavy show.
Definitely check out both shows if you are interested in WordPress.

As things continue to progress, and we get closer to the next major release of WordPress, the podcasting scene continues to grow, and increase in pace. With two weekly shows about WordPress, I feel like we are getting all of our news, but now Performancing, a sister blog to Blogging Pro is getting their podcasting groove on talking about blogging in a more general sense. Called Perfcast, their first episode has them talking about building a powerful blog.
WordPress Weekly continues with their weekly episodes, pushing the show to Saturday instead of their usual Friday night recording time. This meant that I wasn’t able to participate, but the show turned out great anyways. If you want to learn more about WordPress Mu, Episode 8 is the one you want to listen to.
The WordPress Podcast also has a new episode up with Charles and Jonathan Bailey chatting a little about the lack of new news and plugins for them to discuss before talking about plagiarism and theft of copyrighted material. They slipped a little from their weekly recording schedule, but hopefully they can stay on track going forward.

If you enjoyed listening to me in the WordPress Podcast with Charles, then you might be interested to hear me in WordPress Weekly, a fan created podcast run by Jeffro of Jeffro2pt0. I was recently in episode six, which discusses many interesting things relating to WordPress and the WordPress community.
This week on Episode 6, we finally see WordPress 2.5 feature froze which is a standard practice for all versions of WordPress. A live WP 2.5 demo site has been made available to the public in case you want to see what you have to look forward to, WP.com intros summarized stats for the stat junkies, Yahoo interviews Matt Mullenweg of WordPress.com and discusses a variety of topics. Movable Type does WordPress in a weird sort of way. Your WordPress Weekly Digest update and some tips on making sure that your WordPress plugin using Jquery does not conflict with other plugins using Jquery. Last but not least, some WordPress beginners lingo.
Definitely a must listen to podcast if you are interested in WordPress. Episode six runs the gamut with both beginner and advanced material. Some that was even over my head, though that’s not too hard to do.

Chris Garrett, a well known designer and friend of mine has gone ahead and tapped me to join him on his podcast, named the FourFourNiner, where we answer questions relating to blog design, search engine optimization, blogging professionally, WordPress and pretty much anything else related to our expertise that we are asked.
The first episode covers moving from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, as well as securing a blogging related job, CSS books and tutorial sites we enjoy, and a few other things.
I hope you will check it out, and if you have any questions, pop on over to the 449 blog, and leave your questions in the comments area. The first episode is around thirty minutes long, and will probably continue around that length as a weekly release. A huge thanks to Chris for having me on, and I hope to continue joining him as co-host as the show evolves and grows.
