The first thing about this podcast is the quality- which is super clear, HD perfect, and delivered in a nice widescreen format. But the best part is that Bert spends lots of time explaining all the various details in his creations, making sure you understand Photoshop concepts and tools as he goes along. PixelPerfect is a totally professional, totally enjoyable podcast, and a great resource for any aspiring Photoshop artist — and at over 15 minutes a piece, this is a pretty amazing training freebie!

New Podcast "Photoshop Online With Jan Kabili" Debuts
This Photoshop podcasting thing is really getting popular. Now Jan Kabili at The Unofficial Photoshop Weblog has launched one. Here's what she says: "We've been thinking about putting together a Photoshop video podcast for some time now. In this inaugural episode we tackle the prickly subject of image resolution in Photoshop. Resolution can be tough to grasp, so we break it down for you, explaining what it is, why it's important, and how to choose the proper resolution for a file destined for an inkjet printer."
If you are not familiar with Jan, she's a talented Photoshop trainer and has written some excellent Photoshop books, including How to Wow: Photoshop CS2 for the Web and Photoshop CS Complete Course. Jan is also a contributor to many design magazines.
Photoshop Killer Tips With Matt Kloskowski
The National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) has released yet another nice Photoshop resource. This one is a video podcast (via iTunes) called Photoshop Killer Tips With Matt Kloskowski, and it offers a Photoshop tip each and every weekday.
So far I've watched 5 episodes, which included a tip on using the Shadow/Highlight Filter, on finding individual photos from a shoot using Bridge, on how to get a complicated selection back after inadvertently losing it, on adding points to a curve to adjust photos, and a tip on how to pick color from almost anywhere on your desktop. Sweet.
These are bite-size tips, all of the clips so far are under 2 minutes, which is just right to learn something new each day without putting a dent in your schedule. But do these guys ever sleep?
To subscribe go to Apple's iTunes Music Store and do a search for "Photoshop" in the podcast directory search. Matt Kloskowski can also be seen on the wildly popular Photoshop TV podcast.

What Is A Podcast?
So what exactly is a podcast? According to Wikipedia (a great source of constantly updated info), "'Podcasting' is a portmanteau word that combines the words 'broadcasting' and 'iPod.' The term can be misleading since neither podcasting nor listening to podcasts requires an iPod or any portable music player. Podcasting is distinct from other types of online media delivery because of its subscription model, which uses a feed (such as RSS or Atom) to deliver an enclosed file. Podcasting enables independent producers to create self-published, syndicated "radio shows," and gives broadcast radio programs a new distribution method."
Visit the Wikipedia Podcast Page for some very detailed info on the history of podcasting, as well as links to some wonderful sites, including podcast tutorials that show you how to create a podcast, and some podcast directory sites.

Media Artist Secrets With Franklin McMahon
A podcast for creative media artists involved in photography, animation, graphic design, music, broadcast, moviemaking and other multimedia, Media Artist Secrets provides inspiration, tells how to market your talents, fine-tune your vision, advance your skills and share your creations with the world.
Franklin McMahon has been writing about video production, photography, broadcast, music scoring, web technologies, design and the entertainment industry for over a decade in print for magazines such as Video Systems, DV, Publish, Res, Computer Graphics World and MovieMaker as well as on-line for sites like Microsoft.com. He is well versed in covering a wide range of topics and reports on the techniques and technology he uses every day, be it broadcast, photography, web, multimedia, music or graphic design.
Media Artist Secrets has won the Podcast Award for Best Business Podcast, and the program is the #1 Business program on Podcast Alley and has recently been nominated for a Podcast Award in the Business category.
"I am extremely passionate about helping people advance their creative careers and expand their audience of fans and clients" says Franklin McMahon. "One of the challenges to solve is that creative artists may be supremely talented, but not really focused on continued development, professional promotion and career growth. Creative artists are wired to create, that's what they do. This podcast helps them think of the big picture, dreaming big, getting the word out and making amazing things happen with their creative career path. I encourage everyone to spread the word and pass the info on the show to all the creative artists they know."
The podcast is supplemented by a blog at www.mediaartist.com which includes an archive of creative self-development articles, video tutorials on programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator as well as reviews of the latest creative desktop programs.
So how Photoshop-related is this podcast? Read our in-depth interview with Frank McMahon and you'll see that this is indeed a valuable resource for Photoshoppers.

Secrets Of Podcasting: Audio Blogging For The Masses - Podcast Book By Bart Farkas
If you thought Internet radio was cool, wait 'til you experience podcasting — regular audio programs delivered via the Internet, which you can listen to when you want, where you want! Here to lead you into this brave, new world of mass audio blogging — and quite possibly change your listening habits forever — is a fun, fact-filled guide that shows you how to find, create, and distribute podcasts.
Author Bart Farkas recognizes that this concept is new to many and starts at the beginning, explaining what podcasting is, how it came into being, and how it promises to change the world.
From there, he covers the basics: podcast-grabbing software, MP3 players for listening to podcasts, the types of podcasts out there, and more. Knowing that you won't be satisfied just listening to podcasts, Bart shows you how to create podcasts as well, covering the hardware and software you'll need as well as the distribution options and legal issues that confront you. Interviews with real-world podcasting masters are highlighted throughout.
Peachpit Press have an online sample chapter from the book titled "Creating A Podcast." From the intro:
- Now that you know what a podcast is, what's it's used for, and how it can affect your life, you may be inspired to create your very own podcast for distribution over the world's podwaves. Perhaps you would love to create a podcast but feel that the technology obstacles preclude you from ever doing so. Or perhaps you aren't worried about the technology but are unwilling to take the time to learn the ropes. Not to worry. Before you succumb to the fear of podcasting technology and crumple up in a fetal position while moaning gently about RSS feeds, have a look at this chapter; it'll change your point of view.
In this chapter, I take a look at the process of creating a podcast, from the nuts and bolts of recording techniques to the software that can help you edit and manipulate the podcast. I also include some tips and interviews with podcasting pioneers and aficionados whose hard-won experience will be to your benefit. After covering the equipment and the software needed for podcast creation, I walk you through the creation of a podcast from start to finish, using basic equipment and popular software.
