An open letter to Bill Gates

Hi Bill. I know that as a geek, you really want to do everything yourself, which of course includes setting up your web site and doing a podcast, but sometimes you need help. I saw your “podcast” , but I have to tell you from one geek to another, that’s not a podcast, all you’ve done is post some WMA and MP3 files. I think you have a really great idea though, I bet you could have millions of subscribers if you had a real podcast, and I think you’re doing really great things so I’d love to help you.

So Bill, I would be happy to set up a web site for you to host a proper Podcast, for no charge. I would build this site on the free and open source platform – Wordpress. I would configure an RSS fed for you and even set you up with some great stats packages to know how many people are listening. You know what, I even have a spare Behringer PodcastStudio USB package which has a Microphone and a small mixer that is just perfect for podcasting – I’d be happy to send it to you at no charge. I assume you would have no problem getting listed in the Zune marketplace so I’ll let you handle that, but I will take care of the dirty details of getting your podcast listed in the iTunes podcast directory – you won’t ever have to talk to anyone from Apple. I bet we could even get your podcast featured on the front page.

This isn’t a joke Bill, I would be happy to help a fellow geek out. If you’re interested just use the call me button on the top right hand of this site, or drop me an email: podcast@teachmewp.com and let me know.

Thanks
Dave Holowiski
