What is podcasting? Podcasting is like doing your own Internet radio show by recording music and voice to MP3 and making it available for download. There’s a pretty comprehensive list of podcasters here.

I bring this up because I’ve gotten email from some podcasters asking if it’s okay to play my songs during their podcasts.

The short answer is: OMG YES!!!

The longer answer is: OMG YES!!! All of my songs, including the demos, are licensed under a Creative Commons license which allows anyone to broadcast/podcast them noncommerically. And by “noncommercial” I mean, please don’t turn my songs into jingles for snack crackers or to promote your new line of “How To Write A ‘How To Do A Podcast’ Book” books.

It’s great that people are nice enough to ask permission first, though. It kinda turns the whole “internet users are thieves” view on its head. But in case you’re wondering, permission has already been granted. So, podcast away!
