Those of you have been following the podcast from its early incarnation as the DJ Idea Sharing Podcast and later the DJ Idea Sharing Podcast Network have been waiting patiently for us to return. It’s been a long road. As many of you know, we had some setbacks that kept us from coming back – from equipment losses to my wife’s now year-plus-long health issues to just the lack of any available free time to work on this project. When we started this project, we had no idea it would grow so big, so fast, and be in such high-demand. Quite frankly, I was not prepared for it.

During our hiatus, I have learned a lot about Professional Podcasting, Social Media, Blogging, et al (as well as what mistakes I made out of inexperience the first time around.) I am determined to put all of that knowledge to good use to not only bring back PodcastForDJs.com but also take it to a whole other level!

I will be posting more about the imminent return and relaunch periodically on the PodcastForDJs.com blog and on Facebook (as well as any instructions or tips you’ll need for listening!) Please keep watching!

Enthusiastically,
Steve Fernino –
