Owen Lystrup has called in with an answer for Chris Clarke’s iPod/iTunes frustrations. (By the way, there is a great site for iPod junkies that has answers, reviews, etc. for just about everything you can imagine related to iPod. Check out www.ilounge.com.)

Owen also notes that you have to be knowledgeable about a whole lot of things in the agency business. Ain’t that the truth!

Mitch Joel drops in with a “car-cast” for a couple of thoughts on his co-hosting gig on IPR #15.

Mitch and I broke the time record with our free-form discussion and I had to leave two meaty segments on the cutting room floor to keep the podcast a respectable length. One interesting segment covered Mitch’s dabbling in Second Life and where he sees possibilities for an interesting business/communications tool. The other segment was about educating the next generation of communicators in the world of social media.
Mitch has offered to resurrect them for a segment on his podcast and I’ve been toying with the idea of packaging them up as special editions of IPR.

The Spinfluencer, Eric Schwartzman, weighs in on the discussion we had about the branding of social media expertise within agencies.

If you haven’t checked out Eric’s “On the Record…Online” podcast, you don’t know what you’re missing. He has had some amazing interviews with some very interesting media and PR people.

Thought I’d do a little forward-thinking test using the podPress plug-in on our WordPress blog. I figured there is no good reason that we should hold on to our audio comments that come in via Waxmail or through our comment line for the podcast. Why not post them as they come in?

So here’s one from Joe Thornley received following IPR 11:

The question then becomes do we still include them as part of the show for our listener community, or do we just point people to the blog to hear the comments they feel like listening to?

I’m trying to force myself to think about podcasts differently from weekly radio programs. Is it a show? Is it a program? Are Terry and I co-hosts with listeners, or are we co-facilitators to a community (a fantastic Holzism)? Does the date matter? Should we even discuss time-bound news given that the podcast lives forever and the story has already been told in real time in the blogosphere?

What do you, the listeners, er…, community think?
