FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stow, OH 02-09-2009 – One of iTunes’ top-rated podcasts is Music for Midnight (www.music4midnight.com), produced weekly by Ohio-based music aficionado Austin Beeman. The show regularly ranks in the top 10 music podcasts and top 50 overall. Music for Midnight is a half-hour showcase of independent and non-mainstream downtempo electronica, soft rock and jazz, distributed through the San Francisco-based Personal Life Media network (www.personallifemedia.com). Beeman relies heavily on his AT2020 USB Cardioid Condenser Microphone from Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 45 years.
“I use the 2020 USB to record my own voice, which gives the lead-in at the top of every show,” stated Beeman. “I have no formal training in broadcasting, so I really needed something that would make my voice sound great, and the 2020 USB did that for me. I had experimented with a couple of other microphones from other companies, but it always had that ‘basement’ feel! I needed something that would provide professional quality sound and make it sound like a studio, even though I’m recording it in front of my computer.”
Beeman plugs the AT2020 USB directly into his laptop’s USB port, and using an online program called Propaganda, he creates MP3s, which are uploaded to his personalized media page and distributed on the web as a podcast.
“I don’t use any effects or anything to enhance voice,” stated Beeman. “The signal chain is simple as can be. The 2020 USB is able to take my voice and give it a wonderful broadcast quality, without me having any knowledge of how to operate complicated gear or software. It’s just plug and play.”
To Beeman, the independent nature of his show is very important: “Since I have a lot of independent music featured on my show, and a lot of music that’s released on the Internet, there’s a lot of do-it-yourself philosophy, from the artists to my broadcast to the show’s distribution. The AT2020 USB lets me stay true to the show’s independent nature while still creating a professional product.”
For more details on the AT2020 USB, please visit www.audio-technica.com.
Celebrating over 45 years of audio excellence worldwide, Audio-Technica is a leading innovator in transducer technology, renowned for the design and manufacture of microphones, wireless microphones, headphones, mixers, and electronics for the audio industry.

“We moved TheDivaCast to Personal Life Media because the podcast advertising campaigns and sponsorships PLM is already bringing us reflect the quality of our very popular show,” says Robin Maiden, producer of TheDivaCast.”
“Michael and I could have launched a new photography show on any network based on the sheer success of our first endeavor, The Digital Photography Show, but we chose PLM because of their combination of technical savvy, amazing creativity, business connections and commitment to our success, says Scott Sherman, Host of “Digital Photography Life.”

Free Widget Lets Podcaster’s Fans Syndicate Their Shows Via Social Media
LOS ALTOS, CA – August 14, 2008 – Personal Life Media™, Inc. a publisher of lifestyle podcasts and blogs for people on the leading edge of culture, made available today a patent-pending audio player widget that distributes multiple podcast RSS feeds. Web widgets are the small modules of content or advertising that a Web user can add to a social network profile, blog or personal start page.
The player is free and can be customized by color and size to match any web page or blog as well as to propagate shows in Facebook, MySpace and twenty other sites such as iGoogle and Wordpress using Gigya’s Wildfire widget distribution technology. Users can visually fly back and forth between album art for each show in the widget by controlling “show flow” with a mouse. Most importantly, the player can be branded with a corporate logo for an integrated look and feel.
Podcasters who produce more than a single show now have a way of presenting up to five of their related shows in a single widget on their site, blog or social services. As each new episode debuts, it automatically gets pushed to the podcaster’s “widget,” wherever it has been syndicated by fans. The podcaster’s fans can “get” the player and put it on their site, blog or social site, carrying the podcaster’s logo and sponsored audio ads along with the content.
The widget creator at http://personallifemedia.com/widget is free for any company, podcaster or content fan.
“Pimp” Your Widget
Three simple steps customize the PLM player:
1. Register and add up to five RSS feeds for audio podcasts.
2. Customize the player’s color and background, pick a size and add a logo.
3. Click “Get” and insert it directly on a blog, website and more than 20 social media services.
Wild For Widgets
At launch, two thought-leaders in the podosphere are showcasing the free podcast widget. Chris MacDonald, founder of music discovery publisher IndieFeed and C.C. Chapman, multi-show podcaster and and founder of social media strategy firm, Advanced Guard. This widget is free for any podcast publisher to use to promote multiple shows to fans.

Here is an email from podcast host Adam Gilad of Fearless Lover. He’s producing a workshop with David Deida, a quirky but insightful guru on masculine/feminine energy.
Not only is this letter to prospective workshop attendees beautifully written, but the program itself is an awakening experience.
If you are interested in finding energetic balance in your intimate relationships, read on.
If you have no idea what the heck that even is, read on too.
And as a friend of Personal Life Media you save $200 on the cost of the workshop. Just mention you heard it on PLM or use promo code PLM.
Hey Susan,
What if you could spend a weekend with a Living Master of Masculine Embodiment who could utterly change the way you stand and change the way you breathe?
What if you could take three days and go face to face with woman after woman, speaking through, and pushing through every possible anxiety, hang up, inauthenticity, insecurity or shyness you have ever felt?
What if you could verbalize your complete, unadulterated desire for the wash of the feminine — in all its juicy, sweet, loving, nurturing and yearning — without any embarrassment — and have women look you in the eyes and offer all of that to you?
And then, they, in turn, offer their deep yearning for the strong, safe, lighthearted but directional masculine that you embody in your best moments?
And welcome you fully as you give her your deepest masculine core?
And then — what if you could spend hours fortifying and PRACTICING embodying that best, most attractive man you can be?
Not merely learning about it – but embodying it through physical exercises – the best, most attractive man you can be?
All in an environment of safety, of mutual respect and of balls-to-the-wall boldness?
You can. You should. In fact, if you can make it, you must.
I’ll be there. For my fourth time.
David Deida’s workshops will help you step into your most attractive masculine core and give you
profound insight into women — who are never more open and genuine than they are during these workshops.
You’ll not only learn how to master the most effortlessly and primally attractive man you can be, you’ll learn how women are waiting to be seen, validated and lead into their most open, giving expressions of love by a man who knows what he’s doing.
After this weekend, you will be much, much more of THAT man.
Here’s just a few of what some of the men said after his SeattleWorkshop in May:
“I arrived at the workshop with sadness
and fear – fear of the prospect of being
alone. But this past weekend revealed to
me that there are a number of fantastic
and highly-evolved women out there.
Definitely worth any wait.”
**
“I witnessed… women’s extreme depth of
perception into men’s character… As for me, I learned
to express the love I have inside beyond
my previously built limitations — I am
definitely more in touch with my heart and
the hearts of others as a result of the weekend
– and women could feel it.”
**
“My emotional learning was so dense… I would
like to review the exercises, and practice these
again with my new girlfriend… teaching her
how she can trust me and follow me, and to
safely and passionately test me in little ways
to bring my full essence back to her…
**
David’s speaking and question-and-answer format
really helped me understand the theme of his
teaching. But, it was the exercises that opened
the doors… and allowed me to really
sense the yearning soul of other beings… This
may sound like hyperbole. but i have considered
these words. This is true. I have had my eyes
open to a higher level of perception, and my soul
has access to new powers in love, consciousness,
and active leadership in relationship.
**
I think you can get a sense of the depth of what happens during a Deida Workshop.
It isn’t sitting in a chair and listening.
It takes you deep beyond your surfaces and the surfaces of women.
It’s dynamic back and forth with David — then bam! — into face-to-face exercises with women that will blow open your closures, and anything that his holding you back from being the fullest, most powerful man you can be.
With women. And in your life in general.
I will hold a Sunday night roundtable at the bar for all the guys from my community to absorb what he have learned and really drive it home.
Join me.
Register now at
And then write me directly at DeidaEvents at gmail dot com and let me knowyou are coming. I believe in David so much, that I am sponsoring this event.
Join this Intensive and utterly change your life.
Your friend
Adam (AKA Grant)

Here’s more detail about the wines. Tell me what you think when you try them.
This versatile, medium-body red wine has an intense color and great charm with hints of blackberry and pepper. It is especially delicious with chicken, turkey and with soft cheeses.
“Coteaux” are hillside vineyards. “Coteaux du Languedoc” has a very long history. Before the French and Romans, the Greeks planted grapes here as far back as 500 BC. Today it’s one of the most sought-after appellations in France. Enjoy healthy, organic, tasty wine from this historic winegrowing region!
Viognier is a delicate, flowery wine with light acidity and hints of apricot and white peach flavors. The Domaine de Caillan is an elegant version of this fairly rare and sought after grape varietal.
This aromatic, food-friendly wine ends with a long, concentrated finish and will demonstrate eloquently to you that there is life beyond Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Serve this Viognier with appetizers, seafood, chicken, turkey and pasta.
This sumptuous bubbly is made from Mauzac and Chardonnay grapes in the South of France. The ideal cool climate of the Pyrénées creates a dry, creamy, full-bodied sparkling wine with a refined yeasty character in the aroma, and toasty green apple and lemon flavors on the palate. It is a delight nicely chilled by itself or served with an elegant dinner!
• Wines made of certified organically grown grapes
• Environmental responsibility
• Top-rated quality at great value prices
• Amazing personalized attention and customer care
• Organic, vegan, biodynamic wines and an international selection
We are proud to provide the best quality organically grown wines with body (structure), heart (its maker’s pulse) and spirit (its connection with nature).
Our organically grown wines have a purpose—to make each of your occasions special, whether it be a wine with your food or a wine for your mood.
It is with sincere gratitude that we toast to your pleasure, your health and the land that so unselfishly serves us all.
Warmest regards,
Véronique Raskin, Ph.D., Founder
Michel Ginoulhac, M.D., Importer

This is a reprint from an email from Adam Gilad, the host of The Fearless Lover show on Personal Life Media. Adam is producing David Deida’s events. Tim and I recently went to the Ecstatic Intimacy event in Marin, CA.
The email below is a beautiful treatise on the status of the “pick up artist” movement from Grant Adam’s perspective. Whether you are a single or married man, please read this and buy David Deida’s book, Way of the Superior Man. I’ve read it, and so has my husband, and it’s had a profound effect on our relationship.
And enjoy Adam Gilad’s show too. Here is a list of his recent episodes:
Email from Grant Adams regarding the Pick Up community vs. the Superior Man:
Hey there…
Did you hear about this?
Last year, David Deida did something no one expected him to do: go to a small gathering of guys who style themselves as Pick Up Artists. You know, thems of the pointy shoes, gelled, spiky hair, snappy, packaged comebacks and gaudy jewelry.
And he spoke to them about how to be successful with women.
What? Huh?
Does that even make sense? Do they even speak the same language?
I mean, lets step back and look at who’s standing in these two corners…
In one corner, David Deida is the rigorous spiritual practitioner who teaches men and women how to give the gift of themselves fully as a moment-by-moment offering of love. He teaches life as a daily practice of opening into the depth of your heart, a Yoga of Life and a Yoga of Sex lived in such a way that if you were to die today, you would die complete.
In the other corner, it’s the PUA’s, who have a reputation of just wanting to collect phone numbers from drunk bar girls and show their buddies how many numbers they’ve collected (from what I’ve seen, that’s all-to-often how far the success goes).
You would think Deida would scorn the PUA world as shallow and dumb.
But Deida is a man of many surprises.
And let’s face it – not all self-styled PUA’s are preening, venal predators. Most are guys who just want to improve their social skills with women — and are looking for direction from anyone who claims they can help them,
I personally am hoping the whole PUA nomenclature will fade away, will evolve into something more poweful, more leaderly, more masculine.
Watch closely over the next year as I lead guys away from the bar-weasel world to the world of the spiritual warrior. If you’ve been reading me at all, if you’ve met me – you know that there is a
depth and a power to cull from your heart, from your strengths as they exist now, and from your innate abilities that is FAR more powerful than the hocus-pocus hawked by the sketchiest of pua teachers.
Here’s the bottom line:
Pick-up is — at its best — a scaffolding for men who haven’t stepped into their true masculine power. Maybe they don’t think they are ready, maybe they just need to break through shyness.
Hell, when I got divorced — I had no idea how to approach a woman other than show her my kids’ baby pictures and let her know what a caring dad I was, baseball coach and all — that was
basically the core of my self worth.
I honestly wasn’t aware of what else I had to offer as a man, no matter what my female friends told me. I felt awful about myself. I needed scaffolding.
And maybe you do too, now in your life. There’s no shame in it.
Learn how to approach vulnerably and with humor. Learn how to gear up a conversation. Learn how to create sexual polarity. Learn how not to be too much of a doormat, while not being a jerk.
These are reasonable skills and do take practice for plenty of men.
And I respect any guy who gets back on the field and tries and tries again, until conversing with a beautiful woman is as natural as talking to sweet old granny. Simply human to human.
You practice skills — until you know who you are. Until you are comfortable in your own, genuine strength.
Once you like yourself, you like your life and you know that when you approach a woman, you are nothing but a gift to her life rather than a needy attention vacuum, then the need for the scaffolding falls away naturally.
From my point of view — and I’m curious about your opinion on this — the whole PUA thing is learning to mimic, to wear the trappings of masculine allure for guys who don’t really own that sense of power for themselves yet.
So, at best, it’s a stage. It’s scaffolding. It’s training wheels.
At it’s worst, however, if you don’t outgrow it, it is a dead end for your own growth, and an ongoing way to hurt women by manipulating them. As Neil Strauss said it himself at the end of
his book, The Game: everything he learned about pickup ruined him for relationship.
Never forget that part!
Now, David Deida, unlike cowards, prudes and stuffshirts of all kinds, doesn’t see the whole movement as reprehensible. He gets that men are reaching out for help in this somewhat confusing time.
He knows better than anyone that men have become “feminized” over the last 40 years and don’t often know how to step deeper into the masucline without stepping BACK into the jerky, repressive, dismissive masculine of earlier times.
In fact, he even commented to me that he LIKES talking to the “Seduction Community” such as it is, because at least the men in it are honest about one thing: they want to succeed with women AND they are actively willing to learn about themselves and about women.
He likes that they go to conferences. That they get on teleseminars. That they put their money where their intentions are and get out there and test their edges.
Most guys never take the risk. Never step up at all.
Now, of course, Deida offers an alternative to the hectic, squirrely sniff-and-peck, cock-of-the-walk hunt and gather of the dumbest ends of the pick up community.
And it’s true, when you get into Deida work, that kind of pua stuff looks like playground scrambling.
The alternative that Deida offers, I would call a kind of GRANDEUR.
Grandeur of vision. Grandeur of practice. Grandeur of intention…
… Grandeur of living.
Enjoy this brief clip from David Deida’s talk to a PUA gathering last year. It is but a small taste of grandeur.

David Deida offers a way of BEING that will make you naturally attractive to quality women — such that you don’t have to DO anything weird at all.
So that you can leave the scaffolding behind and step into your fullest, most powerful manhood.
