Gardening tips, gardening info and heaps of ideas to help gardeners of all experience get more out of their hobby and out of their gardens.

While Los Angeles radio listeners have enjoyed the charismatic voice of gardening guru Nick Federoff for years, it appears he will soon be heard by millions more. His two-hour syndicated program is about to be broadcast on the internet via UTR Radio (which is double-speak for Unbelievable Talk Radio radio).
However, he's not producing these as freely downloadable MP3's or available as podcasts for the single user. These shows are being on-sold to web radio stations to deliver to their audiences.
So if you're thinking marketing strategy for your own gardening blog you could get in on the ground floor and air these yourself. Provided you're willing to part with a minimum $25 per week (and it can be as much as $200+) then you too could play Federoff's weekly show.
And, you don't get the sole rights for the show at this price either. Any other gardening radio service can subscribe to his radiocasts as well.
Susan, here's the little pot of rainbow gold you were looking for. Being a coach to millions of gardeners seems to rake in the dollars more than the ones and twos.
And who knows. Maybe you've got a little something to add to the hobbyists who are looking for answers to their gardening problems. If so, here's a list of resources to get you started. It could be the beginning of a whole new venture.
But, be warned. Just because you're a good blogger doesn't necessarily mean you're going to make it in radio - and vice versa.

Stuart, thanks for the tip - you sure got my attention. But this Federoff guy has me wondering: If he's the "top garden expert" in the U.S." why haven't I ever heard of him? I definitely missed him on the "Donnie and Marie Show." Californians, is he big out there?
But seriously, he has a great voice and radio personality and after listening to a few samples of his on-air talents, I'm sticking to the written word.

Gosh Susan, I thought after you're fling with the viewing audience radio would be the next logical step.
I too had the same questions regarding the "top garden expert" in the U.S." But as I don't even live there I'm not about to cast aspersions.
Maybe Trey knows him?

When I lived in LA I listened to his first show back in 88'.
He's a nice guy. I live in Northern California now and here him on KUBA.
Seen him a bunch on TV, too.
