What’s it like to be an “on-air” talent?

If you like technology shows, you’re probably heard or seen Veronica Belmont. She is an on-air personality for Tekzilla, Sword & Laser, and Qore. She is a podcaster extraordinaire but how she got there is an interesting story. Veronica  struggled with social anxiety and panic attacks. She credits the internet for helping her battle the first. And explains how you can control panic by controlling your schedule…and by playing video games, of course. To visit Veronica’s website click here.

What’s it like to be a producer?

Do you remember Roz from the sitcom Fraiser? She was the producer of his (fictional) radio show. She ran the board, arranged for guests, and handled lots of details. Jason Howell does the same thing for a variety of tech-oriented podcast video shows. He also explains a visit by the Secret Service, the joys of fatherhood, and what it’s like to be late for your college graduation… and you’re speaking.

What’s it like to be a tech writer?

This is the story of how an American-Pakistani, who was educated in Catholic schools, went to law school and became a podcaster. But you’ll also learn why tax law is fun, how to think like a dog, and what no one tells you about babies. Iyaz Akhtar (This Old Nerd.com) speaks eloquently of two major events in his life: the birth of his son and the death of his father. I didn’t know Iyaz was changing jobs but I faked it.
