Create your niche!

I really hope you are successful. I do hope though that once you get going you sound a little more excited about your topic. I have listened to the podcast that NSTA put out and it’s like listening to paint dry. You need some pizazz. Listen to the reply all podcast by Gimlet media PJ and Alex have fun and you can tell in their voice. I think there are a half a million bus drivers in America and a bunch in Canada for you to pull from for audience. Good luck!

School Bus Drivers unite!

I’ve got 10 years of being in the student transportation industry and I really thought this was going to have a stronger focus on bus drivers. It’s just a bunch of transportation office staff having conference meetings and recording them as a podcast. Not one single person who’s actual title is “bus driver” is heard. Just a bunch of people who’ve forgotten what it’s like to be a driver.
