Bernard Milton: Author, Podcaster, at 73
I got to meet author Bernard Milton (whom I shall call “Bernie” from here on out). This gentleman was a live wire right from the start. Within moments of meeting him, I learn that he’s a Korean war veteran (Navy), and that he’s written two books. He’s come to the Podcast Academy because he is considering doing a serial podcast of his novel as a promotional tool.
Have I mentioned that Bernie’s 73?
Bernie plays tennis, a sport he took up about six years ago. Now, he’s at the Podcast Academy, diving in with people from many walks of life. The youngest was this guy:
This didn’t phase Bernie a bit. He talked with me about some format ideas, and I was impressed by how much of this Bernie had already launched into on his own. We discussed some of the back end stuff, like finding a server to host the bandwidth, and burning the podcast feed using Feedburner. We discussed ID3 tags, and our mutual lack of understanding on how to do that simply. (I’m hoping GarageBand has it built in).
So, hats off to Bernie, and I strongly urge you to check out his fiction. I have a copy of DIRTY RIVER, and it’s ENGROSSING! This is written somewhere between the best hardboiled novel and a property that either Quentin or Robert should consider purchasing and shooting as a film.
Check out Dirty River at Amazon.com, or at Bernie’s site, MexBorderPress.com. You can read Chapter 1 here.
