Want to thank all who have commented so far, its good stuff and I'm encouraged to continue my effort!

Wayne, below are the podcasts I listen to, only one is Forensics specific (CyberSpeak) the others are more to the 
security side of things.

Ismael, the advice that I got from the Forensics moderator was, "I think you'll find that the field of forensics is not 
cert-oriented.  Your time might be better spent choosing a platform you
know well and learning all you can about
forensics on that platform: which tools are available, how they work, how well they work,
etc.  Ins+outs of relevant filesystms would be quite helpful.".

Keep the comments and advice coming.

Thanks,

MH
