It Matters Radio

-


The wonderful thing about the internet is that it expands the stage for discussion on issues which affect us all. For the past two years, It Matters Radio, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/itmatters an internet station headed up by Monica Brinkman and co-hosted by Brenda Brown and Kenneth Weene, has provided an open forum artists, musicians, activists and even audio book publishers!

Over the years, It Matters Radio has featured a wide range of guests – everyone from a peace seeker in the Middle East to a confidante of JFK. As an interviewer, Brinkman is well informed and open-minded.

“I believe we learn something new every single day,” says Brinkman. “If we do not hear different points of view then we are never able to make an intelligent decision.”

To keep the show lively and fun, Co-Hostess Brenda Brown talks with a variety of artists and showcases their music. As head of Brenda Brown Entertainment http://www.indiemytunes.com/, artists and authors alike are able to promote their projects in a number of venues including iTunes and iBooks.

Ken Weene, an author, psychologist and pastoral counselor, brings an interesting and intelligent perspective to the discussions on It Matters Radio. Weene knows a lot about writing having published a book called “Tales from the Dew Drop Inn” http://www.kennethweene.com/

Brinkman uses social media to spread the word about It Matters Radio. Upcoming guests are advertised on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/It-Matters-Radio-Live-Talk-Radio-at-Its-Best/205792462786513 The show also has a website where readers can find reviews of books and music as well as contests to enter http://pinterest.com/monicabrinkman/it-matters-radio-show/

Brinkman & Co were kind enough to host me for the second time. If you missed the show, you can hear it on BlogTalkRadio http://www.blogtalkradio.com/itmatters/2013/02/08/country-music--reality-tv--marijuana--lets-have-some-fun

    Thank you Adele for such a wonderful piece about the It Matters Radio broadcast and the hosts. We had such fun during the interview and show. Your humor, creativity and personality added such a 'spark' to the broadcast.

    By the way, I highly recommend Yikes for anyone who wishes an enjoyable listening experience. I laughed continuously. The characters are finely orchestrated into a finely told story. One of the best books I've read in years.

    Wanted to update all and tell them of the new format we at It Matters Radio have taken. One of the few radio broadcasts where we will show case not only the music, book or organization, but also the person, most times live, on-camera with us. No streaming but reality radio at its best.

The sponsors of Voice Acting For Dummies are offering this guest blog post that I thought would be helpful to actors and writers. Enjoy!  An effective Internet marketing strategy is one of the keys to a successful voice acting business. Your business needs a multi-pronged approach to ensure positive results. One of the first things any voice actor needs to do before jumping in full force to self-market is to build a website. This website can be a traditional one or it may be having a profile on a voice-over marketplace. Most people have both. In the following sections, we focus on how you can build your web presence with a personal website that you can be proud of, how you can utilize social media, how you can maximize how people can locate your presence, and how you can advertise online. (We discuss a marketplace site in the “Utilizing a Voice Acting Marketplace Website” section in this chapter.) Building a personal website When you modestly invest...

The First Review of Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book

AudiobookFans.com Gives Yikes! 4.5 Stars      Two bloggers from Indiana are the fist to review Yikes! Another Quirky Audio Book. Maggie and John, siblings who administer the AudiobookFans.com website, have reviewed more than 200 audiobooks. Although Maggie and John are related, their preferences differ when it comes to genre. This is good news for audio book publishers who are looking to get their work reviewed because if one of them isn't interested, chances are the other one is!      John began his journey into the world of audio books to keep him company during his business travels. Maggie caught the bug in the gym when she made the happy discovery that a good story can do a lot to perk up a ho-hum workout.      Although the emphasis on the AudiobookFans website is on audio books, Maggie says the best thing about the blog is corresponding with readers.      “ Talking to our readers and making ne...

I have the good fortune of belonging to an informal business support group. We meet for breakfast to talk about how we are using social media to publicize our companies. For the gathering this month, I suggested we learn about Search Engine Optimization – a concept generating a lot of buzz these days. I don't know much about Search Engine Optimization, but marketing gurus insist it is the pathway to a successful website. Anything related to the internet boggles my mind, so I thought Search Engine Optimization for Dummies seemed like a good place to start http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/search-engine-optimization-for-dummies-cheat-sheet.html Generally speaking, SEO refers to the visibility each website has for search engines such as Google. The name of the game is to get the highest ranking possible on a given search engine to increase the chance of people clicking on your website.
