photoshopcafetvWelcome to PhotoshopCAFE TV.

People have been asking me for a while "Why don't you have a podcast?". The answer has always been time. With traveling to conferences, creating DVDs, writing books and updating the site, I didn't really think I had the time.

No more excuses. Welcome to PhotoshopCAFE TV. The nice folks at Adobe have given us our own channel on Adobe TV. Each week a new episode will be avaliable and I'll post a link right here.

Don't think it's going to stop here. This is just the start! Get ready for the PhotoshopCAFE podcast blitz! I'll keep ypu updated right here as we expand and grow. Our podcasts will be just like the rest of our training, no filler, all content!
