Jason Van Orden is a consultant, author and speaker on podcasting and social media. Jason, a webpreneur and would-be rock star, dove into podcasting with the same passion he has for music and internet business. The end result was Jason’s site, HowtoCreateaPodcast.com, which draws thousands of visitors each month with its combination of technical tips and marketing strategies. He is also the author of Promoting Your Podcast.

Jason’s speaking engagements include The Podcast and Portable Media Expo, the National Association of Brodcasters, The Learning Annex and the New York City Podcasters Association. His experience in technology, audio production and Internet business, combined with his creative streak, makes Jason an ideal source of podcasting information.

But Jason also practices what he preaches as a podcast and social media expert, producing three podcasts of his own: The Podcasting Underground, Internet Business Mastery and GothamCast—a show on living in New York City. GothamCast was featured as “New and Notable” on the front page of the Yahoo Podcast Directory, next to NPR and the Lonely Planet Podcast.
