Once in a while I’m contacted by someone who’s been inspired to take up podcasting as a result of listening to SmallBizPod.  I’m always very flattered and it’s always a pleasure to give their podcast a plug, particularly if they’re a small business.

I’ve mentioned Follett Motors before and Lucie there has been keeping me up to speed on their progress towards launching their first podcast. 

She’s gone through all the usual first-timer’s technical challenges and anxieties, but I think she’s done a bloody good job with her first podcast launched today.

Taking love as her launch theme, very appropriate for the 14th Feb, Lucie takes a quirky look at how to create a VW themed wedding.  She’s pulled off some really entertaining interviews including with a minister in Arizona who helps VW fans hold VW themed wedding ceremonies in a converted VW chapel.  The passion for all things VW is evident throughout, not just from Lucie, but from many of the enthusiasts she interviews.  Love and podcasting - a powerful combination!

Lucie’s also come up with a nice 2 minute YouTube video as a trailer for the audio podcast.  An innovative promotional idea and very well done.

Do go over and check out the podcast.  Over time I can see this doing for VW garages what Heather Gorringe has done for natural gardening.
