Speaking of Travel® With Marilyn Ball
The Timeless Wisdom Of The Tao Te Ching Interpreted For Today’s World Of Podcasting
Author Charlie Birney, Chief Listening Officer at his company, Podville Media in Washington, DC, wrote his new book The Tao of Podcasting: An Interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, as a meditation on the purpose of podcasting.
Charlie shares how the book serves as a guide to growth and transformation that can be directly applicable to podcasting.
Written in lovely verse and illustrated by Charlie's own delightful sketches, The Tao of Podcasting shows how podcast production creates memorable stories by remembering the ancient art of listening, deepening the silence before the sound, combining stillness and fluidity, developing auditory wisdom, engaged listening, and talking forward, and reigniting your passion for podcasting
In addition to writing this creative gem, Charlie co-founded Podville Media and produces a wide range of audio and video for a diverse range of clients. He also shares what he calls "Internal Facing Podcasts" which are podcasts not so much looking for growth and monetization, but instead trying to increase communication inside an organization.
And some big news. Charlie is preparing to start podcasting again! His new venture will be called "The Philosophy of Podcasting." Stay tuned!
