Freelance Switch

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 05:00 AM PDT

After a hiatus, Freelance Radio is pleased to be back on the air and returns with a new name, The Freelance Radio Show (okay, we’re creatives, but we’re not that creative!) With a lively panel and topics that any freelancer can relate to, the show continues to draw an audience of engaged freelancers.

The Freelance Radio Show started as an Envato production and is pleased to tell loyal FreelanceSwitch.com readers about the podcast’s return.

About The Freelance Radio Podcast

The goal of the podcast is to provide timely advice on subjects applicable to freelancers. This includes subjects such as marketing your business, getting clients, managing your time, keeping track of finances, improving your craft, and dealing with difficult client situations. The podcast is available on iTunes and episodes are also posted at www.freelanceradio.com.

The Freelance Radio Format

The free podcast offers tips and insights for freelancers and caters to moonlighters and full-time freelancers alike. Some new features include interviews with guests and show sponsors. Each show has a unique topic where panelists chime in with their experiences and opinions. Questions from listeners can be submitted and are then answered on the air, and the recommendation section offers a suggestion from each panelist on tech tools and other must-haves. The panel is made up of Dickie Adams, Von Glitschka and Kristen Fischer, who formerly contributed to the show.

Have a Question?

Do you have a question about freelancing? Submit it to mailbag@freelanceradio.com so it can be answered on the air. We look forward to continuing the show and hearing from all of our loyal listeners.
