Stories of Dan Episode 02 - My Last Day

Download the mp3

(Right Click, Save Target As...)

It's Police Captain Matt Selznick's last day on the job, and he's going to make sure he ends his career on a high note. Rather than staying at his desk, he goes out in the field impersonating a criminal transporter to pick up a bad guy and bring him in for questioning. Sounds simple right? If only it had been.

My New Twitter Hashtag #FeedbackFriday

I'm trying to start a new #hashtag on Twitter, to get more people to leave podcasters feedback on their work. It looks like @rosewillscharms beat me to the punch in starting this hashtag, (and strangely used it for the first time the same day I came up with it) but I'm going to try and make it popular and help it be used for a specific purpose in the podisphere community. It's a lot like the hashtag #FollowFriday, and can easily go in conjunction with it. I call it #FeedbackFriday. All you do, is go and find the webpage for a podcast episode you enjoyed, and leave the podcaster a comment. Then tweet something like this

I left my feedback for @PatrickEMcLean here: http://bit.ly/aVOgNA Now you go and do the same. #FeedbackFriday

Don't forget to put the #FeedbackFriday hash tag in your tweet, and you're set. I hope you all start to leave feedback for all the comment and feedback craving creators out there, I know I'd love some :)

P.G. Holyfield's Amazon Rush

I really hope you enjoyed my first podcast episode, it was a blast to write and produce. I'm already editing the audio for the next one, and you'll see it drop in the feed later this month. But right now, I'd like to point your attention once again to P.G. Holyfield. His debut novel Murder At Avedon Hill is hitting Amazon.com on Saturday, May 15th, at noon Eastern time. I would love for everyone that wants to own the print version of the book to head on over to Amazon and pick up a copy. He's hoping you'll all buy it on that day at noon in an attempt to push it up the charts by having as many people purchase it as possible, at the same time, on Amazon.com. By doing so, we can push the book up the charts and increase its exposure in the short term.

Read more about it in his blog post, "The Amazon Rush Event"

So there's a book recommendation, one which you can preview in its entirety as an audiobook on his site, and podiobooks.com

Until then, keep an eye out right here, and on twitter for my next podcast short story, "His Last Day."
