I had the good fortune to be on Todd Cochran’s fund raising podcast to build funds for OLPC. Todd stayed up round the clock to raise money by talking to a number of folks in the downloadable media space.

Here is a link to my segment. Susan Bratton talks with Todd Cochran.

We talk about Podcast Advertising and the Association for Downloadable Media. As always, I “tell all” with very specific details to help anyone who wants to monetize podcasts get better at it by leveraging anything I know and have learned so far.

Todd is an amazing man. He has given so much to the industry in so many ways - through innovation at Raw Voice and Blubrry, his podcasting businesses to sharing his knowledge through his interaction with the Association for Downloadable Media to his philanthropic work leveraging the power of podcasting. Go, Todd, Go!

OLPC was created by Nicholas Negroponte from the MIT Media Lab. The goal is to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment and express themselves through access to a very inexpensive computer - $100 each - so it’s scalable to reach and support millions of children. If you haven’t donated yet, watch this TED Talks video with Nicholas to learn more. I was fortunate enough to see this in person at the TED event.

If you haven’t donated, but want to, even $10 goes toward the program and is helpful. Here’s where to donate.

Todd Cochran - YOU ROCK!
