Ask Mike Anything: Teaching Podcasting to Students
Question (from Blab): From a high school teacher — are there any good resources online to teach students about podcasting?
Answer: The Free Podcast Course by John Lee Dumas, and this show itself, Mike Murphy Unplugged.
The Cons of Learning Too Much
Becoming a jack-of-all-trades, losing track of what you're actually good at, not practicing what's being learned, and fear of ever actually starting something.
