So, if you know my brother Mike, you know 2 things.

He loves sports and he is friggin hilarious.

A few months ago, he and a friend, we will call him Jamie, submited a pilot episode of a sports radio show they called Slim Mikey and The Jamer for a contest with ESPN Radio on XM. Well, they went pretty far but didn’t win the contest and they are still trying to get something going on local radio in Jacksonville. The problem there is that it costs $$$ for airtime and studio time and the acceptable margin of error is slim.

So, I thought it would be a good idea to just bootstrap the thing with a super low budget and see if he can create an audience online first. Chances are, online, he can reach more people and muster a more loyal following with the same content. That’s the hope anyway.

There are so many web 2.0 tools out there I figured it would be easy enough to get it going at little or no cost. Boy was I right.

In my research, I stumbled upon podOmatic.com. What a great site for bootstrapping the creation and simplifying the distribution of podcasts.

Inside 1 hour I was able to get the MikeInTheBox chanel completely set up including a call in line for audio comments.

There aren’t any shows posted yet but the infracture is all set. I did all of this in less than an hour and all completly free of charge. We are planning the first weekly installment later this month.

You can check in out here - MikeInTheBox.podOmatic.com, email Questions or comments for his first show here MikeInTheBox@podOmatic.com and leave audio comments and questions by calling 1-206-337-1768.

Go there, email, call in, ask questions, tell your friends about it, and scream it from the mountain tops and let’s make Mike “Internet Famous”.
