Podscasts and blogs in buisness

When I first started searching for podcasts to listen to I didnt have so much luck at first. The first site I went to was podcast.net and wasnt too thrilled. It has a huge variety of podcasts and it was very easy to find any different topic I was interested in. In this way, of searching for podcasts, it was a great resource...for a first step. After searching a few of the them I found that most of the podcasts that this site links to is from the average joe speaking about anything they want to just to have fun. For certain issues, this is fine but I was looking for some more professional type podcasts. Alright, not so helpful. Moving on then.
Once again, Yahoo.com comes to my rescue (since I didnt find much on google.com search) with their specific podcast search. (Yahoo is quickly becoming a wonderful resource for this class that I think I shall continue to use in the future.) So, I used the podcast search and searched for marketing, something I am passionate about. Alright so marking podcasts. Not surprisingly, I found a huge amount of podcasts about this subject and one that jumped out at me was a series called "Marketing Edge" about anything and everything about all types of marketing. It is described as "Short, crisp, insightful advice on marketing, business processes, and societal change. From brand creation to lead generation, public relations to podcasting, all with a twist of humor and dollop of common sense. Hosted by a former television anchor and press secretary of the Republican National Committee, Albert Maruggi." So I tried it and I found that the most recent episode is about "The great Blog debate" where the main person and another were debating if blogs are appropriate in the work place and should buisnesses have them- which is what we just discussed in class and read. It was a great podcast that debated both sides with evidence and without yelling. I really enjoyed this podcast and I have a feeling that I will continue to listen even if it is not a topic about blogs and just about marketing in general.

Steph,

I'm Mike Keliher, from Provident Partners. I'm the "other guy" from the Marketing Edge podcast's "great blog debate."

I'm glad you like our podcast. Albert and I - mostly Albert - put a lot of work into it, and we love to hear/read feedback.

It looks like you're writing this blog for some sort of communications/journalism class. Have fun with that. It's a great thing to be studying. I spend a lot of time at work studying it, too. As they say, you never stop learning.

Mike
