Over the last few months, we've had a bunch of terrific guests on our show and have had a blast recording the podcast. Unfortunately, (although I'm not sure how it happened), the show duration seems to have grown longer and longer; teetering on the verge of being annoying to listen to. So as to keep the original intent of the podcast -- to be a round-table of women discussing internet marketing -- I've decided to fly solo on another podcast, appropriately named BigMouthStrikesAgain*. This new 30-minute (or less) podcast will feature interviews of experts in affiliate marketing, social media, search engine marketing, mobile marketing and more. While I'll still be participating in upcoming episodes of TheSpew, I figured that with me not being on every single episode, the other girls might be able to get a word in ;-) So here's where you come in. Are you an expert in your area of online marketing? Want to help others learn more about your field? Then I'd love to have you as my guest on BigMouthStrikesAgain!]]>

    Big Mouth Strikes Again LogoAs many of you know, I’m the founder of TheSpew.fm podcast which airs on GeekCast.fm.

    Over the last few months, we’ve had a bunch of terrific guests on our show and have had a blast recording the podcast.

    Unfortunately, (although I’m not sure how it happened), the show duration seems to have grown longer and longer; teetering on the verge of being annoying to listen to.

    So as to keep the original intent of the podcast — to be a round-table of women discussing internet marketing — I’ve decided to fly solo on another podcast airing soon, appropriately named BigMouthStrikesAgain*.

    This new 30-minute (or less) podcast will feature interviews of experts in affiliate marketing, social media, search engine marketing, mobile marketing and more.

    While I’ll still be participating in upcoming episodes of TheSpew, I figured that with me not being on every single episode, the other girls might be able to get a word in ;-)

    So here’s where you come in.

    Are you an expert in your area of online marketing? Want to help others learn more about your field?

    Then I’d love to have you as my guest on BigMouthStrikesAgain!

    Simply fill out the form below, and if your specialty is relevant to the audience, I’ll get you scheduled.**

    Then follow BigMouthStrikesAgain on Twitter @bigmouthpodcast

    * Credit for the podcast name goes to Shawn Collins. Him and I are both big fans of The Smiths, and their song Big Mouth Strikes Again is one of my favorites. The name couldn’t be more fitting for the podcast.

    ** We record via Skype. You would need the latest version running on your computer along with a headset/speaker.
