Want to learn the ins and outs of podcasting with a female touch? Penny Haynes is just your woman. With a background in radio and television production, the move into podcasting was a natural progression for Penny. She teaches people over the Internet how to podcast to achieve success for their businesses.

Not only does she have a knack for making the complicated sound oh so simple, she’s also the producer behind the successful International Podcasting Expo (IPE). These virtual expos bring together podcasting novices and experts from around the world to learn about one thing and one thing only – podcasting.

The first one was held in January 2006 and after organizing 3 of them this year, Penny will be publishing a book on the relationship between podcasting and search engine marketing in 2007.

Not only does Penny provide podcast consulting services to businesses, she also hosts and produces a couple of her very own, including:

• BrainStorm, a business podcast
• Words for the Week, a Christian devotional podcast
• Comedy Clip of the Week, a humour podcast

Penny is the bulb that completes the scoreboard and she’s my pick as one of the top 10 savvy women in podcasting in 2006.
