If You Are Into Marketing You Should Be Reading AND Listening: Great Podcasts
Jan 6, 2009 PR, Podcasts, RSS, Social Media
My brother recently asked me to recommend some podcasts, instead of just emailing him a list I decided to share my favourite podcasts with you as well. I used to subscribe to about 30 but I had to cut back to the true essentials. Here are the seven I am currently listening to.
Marketing & PR Podcasts
Six Pixels of Separation
Host: Mitch Joel
This is my must listen to podcast! Mitch Joel’s enthusiasm is catching. He talks about all things digital with a flair for creating excitement. He provides the listener with incredible insight and the most up-to-date information on everything including: social media, culture, PR books and strategy. Only downside- sometimes the podcast can be longer than the commute.
Inside PR
Hosts: Terry Fallis, David Jones, Martin Waxman, Julie Rusciolelli
Weekly podcast about the world of Public Relations and Social Media. This is a very intelligent podcast with vibrant discussion about everything from Twitter to Client-Agency relations.
For Immediate Release
Shel Holtz and Neville Hobson
These guys have so much to say about PR and communication that they do a podcast twice a week!
Management
Manager Tools
Hosts: Mike Auzenne and Mark Horstman
Tools and techniques for managers. A great resource for professionals. Interviewing, decision making, conflict resolution and team building are just a few topics you will find on Manager Tools.
Technology Podcasts
TWiT
Host: Leo Laporte & Friends
Roundtable discussion on everything tech. I find this one can go a bit long, so I skip sections I am not interested in.
CBC Podcasts (yes, it needs its own section)
Search Engine
Host: Jesse Brown
Review of politics, culture through the net. Brilliant, thought provoking…can I say more. The latest podcast “Is throttling necessary?” – I can’t wait to listen to this one!
Spark
Host: Nora Young
I just started listening to this one based on a list on Dave Fleet’s blog but so far it is inline with my experience from other CBC podcasts – fantastic. Technology, culture, trends and ideas.
The Hour
Host: George Stroumboulopoulos
Seriously, I had to go back and forth to the web page to make sure I spelt his name right. I am still not sure I did. Short and sweet interviews Stroumbo style. Entertaining and smart. Perfect for short commutes because they are often less than 10 minutes.
If you are new to listening to podcasts:
You don’t need an iPod you can listen on your computer direct from the site, subscribe via RSS, or get iTunes and use from any MP3 player or computer.
Are you listening to any good ones?

Idea for Sale: What a mom wants!
Dec 16, 2008 Consumer Brands, Family and Friends, Marketing & Communication
We are looking to get a new car in the new year. So I have been perusing car sites, brochures and car lots. We are (gasp!) looking at a van. I swore I would never buy a van, it screams “I am mom, hear me roar” and might as well be a box on wheels. But with two kids, strollers, other gear – along with friends and family it only makes sense.
Three years ago when we got the X-trail I don’t recall all these gizmos and gadgets that come in cars….
