About Leesa Barnes
In a nutshell, I help individuals and businesses make selling fun and profitable using a podcast. After Ed Horrell, a syndicated radio host, called me a podcasting expert in an interview in April 2006, the name has stuck.
Here’s what others have had to say about my podcasting expertise:
Mathew Ingram, a technology journalist, calls me a “podcaster extraordinaire.“
Rob Hyndman, technology lawyer, says that “[Leesa] has a permanent place on [his] top 10 women in tech and media list.”
Robert Scoble, author of Naked Conversations, says he’s “grown fond“ of my blog.
Scott Bourne, host of iLifeZone on Leo Laporte’s TWIT network, calls me one of the “unsung heros in podcasting.”

Sean Moffitt, Canada’s Word of Mouth Expert, calls me the “Professor of Podcasting.”
