WordPress Tip: Podcasts on WordPress: WordPress Weekly from the WordPress Tavern

Podcasts on WordPress are an excellent way to stay updated with the latest WordPress news, trends, plugins, themes, and other development. I recently discovered a WordPress podcast that I enjoy quite a bit: WordPress Weekly from the WordPress Tavern. The hosts include Jeff Chandler and David Peralty — both knowledgeable, passionate people about WordPress and blog design and development.

The two WordPress podcasts I listened to this evening include an episode on WordPress theme frameworks (specifically, the WordPress Sandbox theme) and another on content generation and SEO. I find that podcasts are perfect for learning while driving, and today I spent about two hours in the car. (Podcasts are also great for long walks.)

WordPress Weekly goes in depth and has relevant content that directly applies to me. If you’re not into WordPress, you’re probably yawning at another one of my WordPress posts. But whatever your interests, I encourage you to check out some podcasts on the corresponding subjects. Although podcasts aren’t suitable for detailed step-by-step procedures, they’re perfect for communicating conceptual information. What other medium can hold a person’s attention for upwards of 45 minutes at a time?

WordPress Weekly is hosted on Talkshoe, a popular service for podcasting. You can call in with questions if you join the show on Friday nights.

    Hey there! Thanks for the mentions. Glad to hear that you enjoy the show and will be listening in from now on. If you think the show is good, you should check out the live chat room some time. Some great folks in there. Also, I thought 1 hour would be too long for a podcast on WordPress but no one has complained just yet.

    Last but not least, I’ve been told that the content on the show simply flies over their head. I admit, it flies over mine sometimes as well but its all in good fun. Hope to see you in the chatroom sometime.

      Jeff,

      Thanks for leaving a comment. As for show length, I don’t mind long shows. You can talk for an hour or so and you won’t lose me. It’s the content that matters to me.

      Re difficulty level, no, you aren’t going over my head. I wish you would get more techie, actually. More in depth. To be honest, you provide more substance with your show than Stricklin’s WordPress podcast. You’re doing a great job. Also, I like the weekly regularity if your shows.

      I also think Peralty is a great co-host. He brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the table. Keep up the great work.

      Also, re monetizing your endeavors, forget making more than pocket change with ads. The real money is in WordPress consulting. Market your expertise and the jobs will flow in, if that’s what you want.
