Notes from Spain – the story so far… by Ben Curtis A So that’s basically my story. Hey, Spain bloggers, lovers and visitors – tell us one of your stories! B This blog started Life as an experiment. I wanted to know how blogs worked, so I posted the odd picture from Madrid, or comment on a Spanish news item, etc. At the about same time I wrote an article for In Madrid, the local English language rag, on technology, which led to adding the Notes from Spain podcasts to this blog – at first on my own, then Marina got involved. We started by making a travel cast, the a cooking cast, and the podcasts started to improve. C Then I was contacted by a commissioning editor at Fodors who had enjoyed the postcasts and wanted me to edit a chapter for their 2007 Spain guide. I chose Galicia and Asturias, and Marina and I spent a couple of weeks in the north of Spain doing research. This year I wrote a couple of introductory sections for their 2008 guide. Wow, Lonely Planet and Fodors, and all because of the podcasts! D After returning home from a recent trip to Thailand I found that I had blogger’s block. I couldn’t think of anything to write about connected with Spain. Then I read a great piece of advice on another site. The piece of advice was to use a blog post to tell a story, so here goes. A question I am occasionally asked about my book, Errant in Iberia, is “what happened next”, and this is part of the story. E Now the interesting bit. The Notes from Spain podcasts have led to wonderful things. First of all, work with Lonely Planet. A few years ago, I wrote several emails to the person in charge pf online content, complaining that the first Lonely Planet podcasts were boring and that they should produce shows like the ones we were putting together on our trips around Spain. Eventually, after my third email, a very nice man called John got back to me, and purchased and of our podcasts for their feed. We have now made five podcasts for Lonely Planet. When I stop to think about it, making podcasts for Lonely Planet is a dream comes true. It was the first time I had ever had the guts to repeatedly contact an institution I admired, and it really paid off! |
