PointsHoarder 42 – Merry New Year

If you have not listened to the podcast that Seth, Fozz, Rolando, and myself host, I would recommend listening to episode 42. We covered the Delta business class mistake fare, our travel and points strategy for 2014, manufactured credit card spending, and lastly, United’s “Flyer Friendly” ad campaign and following through with promises.

We enjoy recording the show and we hope that shows. We also hope that it provides useful information and some entertainment for our listeners. If you haven’t listened yet, give it a shot and let us know what you think. You can listen on PointsHoarder directly, subscribe to the podcast feed, or directly in iTunes.

On New Projects

I have been spending the last few weeks working on a few projects, one of which is now out in the wild. It is called PointsHoarder and it is a podcast about all things points and travel related. Seth, Fozz, and myself are recording the show every two weeks and I am trying to release them as soon as I can get them edited and ready for the internet.

The three of us have been friends for nearly five years. We fly together, meet up in different cities when we can, and chat in different travel related forums around the internet. The idea for the podcast was thrown around for a little while before I just said, “let’s record one show and see how it goes”. I thought it went well and they both agreed, so we’re devoting an evening every other week to record it.

The content is mostly airline related since that is where our passion really is, but we talk about hotels and rental cars as well. The goal is to share our understanding of different aspects of the travel industry to help listeners create a better trip for themselves.

We are still working on a proper logo and other small items, but the shows are being posted and you can subscribe in iTunes.

I am really happy with what we are doing so far, Seth and Fozz have a wealth of knowledge and they are both fun guys to talk to about travel. Give the show a listen and let me know what you think!

SitePoint Podcast at BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2010

Yep, you are reading that right, this year all four hosts of the SitePoint Podcast will be together in the same room for the first time. Patrick O’Keefe, Brad Williams, Kevin Yank, and myself are all headed to BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada where we’ll hang out with listeners (and non-listeners) and will also record and live broadcast a few shows. This is actually the first time we’ll meet in person since Kevin lives, works, and records the show from Melbourne, Australia.

There are also some other exciting things being planned for the conference which I can’t go into just yet. But be sure and check here and the SitePoint Podcast page for more details. If you are going to be at BlogWorld Expo this year, be sure and stop by, say hello, and stay for a chat.
