What are podcasts?
Podcasts are internet based, on demand programming. Podcasts can be in audio or video format. Many traditional broadcasters have turned to podcasting as a way to reach the mobile, on the go, and on demand world. Podcasting is independently distributed through platforms like iTunes, or smart phone apps like Stitcher, I Heart Radio, and others. Because of its independence, there are lower production costs, but greater access to a world wide audience without having to own a radio or television station (or wait for one to offer you a contract).
Podcasting is the effort to bringing original, often very targeted content, to the masses. Nick Galieti, operating primarily under the name Radio Gold Productions, is the host or producer of multiple podcasts. Nick has personally hosted or produced over 850+ podcast episodes. He was the Podcast Manager for FairMormon. FairMormon is a volunteer organization offering reasoned and scholarly answers to difficult or critical questions about the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). He has hosted episodes of the LDS Perspectives podcast and is the voice for Book of Mormon Central’s KnoWhy podcast. The following are the various shows that Nick has either hosted, produced, or recorded podcast material.
Barbie Does Dating:
This is a show about the fun, exciting, humorous and sometimes terrifying, world of dating within the Latter-day Saint culture and religion. Our three hosts offer humor, tips and some occasional sage wisdom on dating. Nick is one of the three hosts, and the producer of the show that features Barbie Berg and Comedian Steve Soelberg as the main hosts.
