How Was Your Race? With 16 Members of the WTM Community
How was your race at World's Toughest Mudder 2018? We talked with over a dozen members of the WTM community at the Champion's Brunch and asked them that question. We have said for two years now that we talk about "success and failure" at World's Toughest Mudder. Not everyone had a great race. To everyone who had a great race: Congratulations! To everyone who knows they could have done better: That's ok. Now you have motivation to last all year long. We will see you at WTM 2019. How was your race? Tell us in a review on Apple Podcasts or Amazon.com ...

Running 75 Miles at 200 pounds or better: Clydesdales and Athenas with Chris Betcher
Running 75 miles at 200 pounds or better: Clydesdales and Athenas with Chris Betcher Chris Betcher ran 75 miles at World’s Toughest Mudder in 2016. That’s great, but what makes it exceptional is he did it as a Clydesdale, a guy that weighs more than 200 pounds. (Don’t worry ladies. There’s a category for you too. Athenas are women who weigh more than 150 pounds.) Chris wrote about his experience for Obstacle Racing Media which led to the creation of a Facebook Group dedicated to WTM participants that qualify as Clydesdales or Athenas. We talk about the article, about the group, and what he spec...

I Like Delicious Things: An Introduction to Tagging and Folksonomies by Chris Betcher
Using simple examples from a number of tag-driven websites, this presentation looks at how tagging and the subsequent creation of folksonomies are changing the way we think about information. Starting with obvious tagging systems used on sites like Flickr and Delicious, it examines how tagging enables information to be classified, sorted and managed in ways that make it more accessible, easier to manage and more self-aware. It also explores how tags can be aggregated across large collections of information to provide a snapshot into the overall zeitgeist of collective thinking.

Embedding your podcast into Blogger
I made this podcast to accompany my Bling4yrblog blog post trying to explain how to embed your Podomatic podcasts into your Blogger blog directly rather than using a link to it. People at my workshop on podcasting were finding it difficult to understand so I thought a podcast that you can watch a couple of times after you have subscribed in iTunes would be useful as a reference if they get stuck again. To subscribe to this podcast in iTunes just click on the iTunes logo on the right hand side of this podcast page. To get the code...
