Podcast Playlist (1) - For Immediate Release
I had heard of podcasts prior to For Immediate Release, however this was the show that sold me on their value. It was fellow HPCA members Donna Papacosta and Peter West who tipped me off to this show. I began by making regular trips to the site but soon was downloadeding a podcatcher so that I didn’t miss a single show.
Twice a week Shel Holtz, from his home in Concord California, and Neville Hobson, from his home in Amsterdam, Holland, connect with one another via Skype and discuss how technology and social media affects the communications profession. This show, remains the bar against which I judge all other podcasts: excellent content and tremendous production values. Shel and Neville have a very natural repor with one another and are a pleasure to listen to. But the value of the show is not just the invaluable opinions and viewpoints of the hosts, but the thoughts and discussion of the entire FIR listening community. This is truly a ‘conversation’ where the direction of the show is determined not just by recent events but through the comments left on the show’s and hosts’ respective blogs, through audio feedback and through contributions from correspondants around the globe.
In the more than 150 episodes of FIR, there’s not one that fails to inform, enlighten or challenge those of us who make communicating our business.
The show can be found and subscribed to at http://www.forimmediaterelease.biz
