Welcome to jacksocha.info!

See that guy with the funny little laptop?  That was me, the morning news host at a very large radio station in Texas.

Not long after it was taken I left a successful career in daily radio broadcasting to become "a professional explainer." 

Blame my wife.

Why?

One of my radio ad clients sold IBM "compatible" PCS and I bought one. I had to learn the operating system [DOS - just before Windows] and ended up also explaining it to all the other staff who bought one.

One day my wife said "You spend so much time telling them how it works, you should just put it on a cassette."

Not much later I left the job to publish our first how-to tape. We did three editions, plus one more for IBM and a third with a Braille reference card for the Nation Braille Press.

Along with being covered by the Associated Press, WIRED, New York Times an London Financial Mail, we made it into the Johnson Smith Company "Things You Never New Existed" catalog.

These are the folks that used to advertise on the inside back cover of comic books. We were right in their catalog with the X-Ray Specs,  the Joy Buzzer and the Whoopee Cushion. Not many tech journalists can claim that. 

We followed with more basics covering using Windows, going online, and how ew to buy and use digital cameras.  Even one on proper eBay selling!

I got back into radio with a pre-recorded network computer talk show and weekly reports to a business network and even a weekly interview show in Australia.

Nothing lasts forever, and as the DotCom boom slowed I spend a few years running a radio station, training customer service reps, teaching "lifelong learning" classes and assisting a large multimillion dollar project explain to the media what they were all about.

And radio popped back in my life with 12 years or 665 recorded interview shows for another large client.

One thing I never thought I'd be publish was another how-to audiobook! But I saw there was a huge need for basic help in producing first-rate audio podcasts. So "I Want To Podcast!" will be out soon.

Stay tuned!
