Only recently started following your site, so this is the first podcast of yours I’m downloading, however…
I could be missing something, but I can’t see any direct links to your audio files - it makes it a tad more tedious to download when I have to dig through the page source.

Very nice episode, people.
Also, @ John: I never thought I’d hear the phrase “the lure of the mentor”. Heh.

I’ve been reading this blog since the start, but this was the first podcast I’ve got round to listening to. Great! I’m going to have to listen to the others now! Brilliant advice on finding a niche. I’m off to contact all the local cafe’s now

@arun That’s actually the title of my next novel series. Check for it (”The Lure of the Mentor: Meeting One”) on store shelves next month. In other news, people describe John Brougher as “unarticulate” and “strangely ineffective at choosing words to string together.”
