the tartanpodcast in Podcasting For Dummies

A smile was brought to my face when I opened a copy of 'Podcasting for Dummies', flicked to the 'independant music podcasts' section and noted that of the three the authors recommend, the tartanpodcast and Podshow stablemate Bandtrax podcast are included.

Thanks guys!

Quote from the article;
"If video killed the radio star, one wonders what podcasting might do. Annoyingly, Chris Moyle's job is probably safe, but it has certainly bred a new crop of underground heroes.
(re the tartanpodcast) - One of the best new music podcasts championing Scotland's great unsigned and the fruit of local independant label's loins."
