Bio
As an award-winning podcaster, Daniel J. Lewis helps others launch and improve their own podcasts for sharing their passions and succeeding in business. Daniel designs websites; offers one-on-one consulting; speaks on technology, social media, and theology; and Daniel hosts a network of award-nominated shows covering how to podcast and use Audacity, clean-comedy, and the #1 unofficial podcasts for ABC’s hit dramas Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
I host Internet radio shows (podcasts)
A podcast is like a radio show, but you can download or stream it through the Internet and listen to it whenever and wherever you want. I personally host four popular podcasts on the Noodle.mx Network:
- a clean-comedy podcast,
- a “how-to” podcast about podcasting and using Audacity,
- Movie reviews with critical thinking for Christians(currently on hiatus), and
- a Once Upon a Timepodcast.

I discovered the world of podcasting back in 2004, and have truly loved it. I am not one hundred percent sure, but I believe I was probably one of the first hundred podcasters on the planet. Recently while at a Social Media event in Las Vegas someone addressed me as a podcasting pioneer. While it was meant as a compliment, it made me laugh deep down inside. I don’t think I qualify as a pioneer at anything.
Podcasting has been very good to me. Due to podcasting my business is stronger, my friends have increased, and my life in general is better. I know those statements may sound crazy, but they are 100% true. Podcasting has defiantly changed my life for the better.
As you may know, I publish a magazine for the sport of Fastpitch Softball. I have been publishing The Fastpitch Softball Magazine for eighteen months now. The feedback has been fantastic.
Since there is not a magazine for podcasting at this time, I decided to start a podcast magazine. I have down all the basics of publishing an online magazine so why not give it a try.
The name of my podcast magazine is Podertainment. In case you are wondering, you take the words pod, and entertainment. Then you put them together to form the word Podertainment. You can find more information at https://Podertainment.com
I speak at conferences
WordPress, web design, podcasting, social media, and Christian apologetics and theology are my favorite topics to share for an audience. Here are some of my most recent speaking engagements:
- PodCamp Cleveland,
- PodCamp Ohio,
- Answers in Genesis’ Creation College,
- WordCamp Louisville,
- New Media Cincinnati,
- PodCamp Cincinnati, and
BlogWorld and New Media Expo 2012.
I design podcast cover art
Podcasts need great cover art, and I specialize in high-quality, custom podcast cover art design. Here are some of my favorites.
I design websites
I’m a full-time, freelance web designer for hire. I employ the latest technologies of CSS3 and provide the option of a mobile-friendly website. But my designs also work in older browsers. I prefer WordPress.
