Hi Terry & David,
I learned about your podcast after doing a search on iTunes – just so you know it works! I’ve listened to several of your podcasts now and find them useful and enjoyable. I listened to your 6/11/07 podcast while walking this morning, so I did a search on FIR when I got home and found it stands for “For Immediate Release.”
I like the format of your podcasts, the clarity and the fact that you respect your work and your audience. I also like the many ways in which people can contact you.
I was surprised to hear David Philip’s comment about PR agencies not “getting” social media. Although I don’t work at an agency, my impression is that most PR agencies are actually leading the way to some form of social media for their clients. Surprisingly, there are several high-tech corporations in Silicon Valley that don’t even have an RSS feed on their websites, let alone podcasting and blogging. Podcasting and blogging may be used internally, but it’s often not a priority for external communication. It could be the nature of their businesses don’t lend themselves well to the new media.
At any rate, I’m glad I found Inside PR.
