Inside PR #1 – March 31, 2006
Posted by David on April 3rd, 2006
Here it is. The first Inside PR podcast for your listening pleasure.
We’ve submitted the podcast to iTunes, so we should have a one-click iTunes subscription here once we get the word back from Apple. We have integrated PodPress, as you will see above, so just click play to hear the podcast right from the blog post. It takes a few seconds to buffer. We’re also working on integrating PodPress into the site, which has a really neat integrated flash player that will play the podcast right from the blog post.

Terry and Dave,
Congratulations on the new podcast. I’m looking forward to hearing your views and even offering the occasional waxmail comment.
One question about the Inside PR blog. I’ve just noticed that you don’t have a blogroll. I’ve always considered that a blogroll is an opportunity to build community by signalling who you consider to be participants in your “discussion group.”
What is your thinking on this? Why did you decide not to have a blogroll.
April 2nd, 2006 » 11:48 am
Thanks Joe. We will definitely have a blogroll and it should be up in the next few days.

Robert, thanks for checking us out. As you can see, the blog is still under construction, but we were anxious to get the podcast going and submitted to iTunes, etc. We’d love to hear your voice on our podcast one day. As you know, I’m a big fan of what you and your students are doing at Auburn. Thanks for being our first subscriber…and, of course, we welcome suggestions.

Inside PR is on the Pod
Is a podcast on the air? on the fibre? over the copper? across the co-ax? Whatever it is, it’s that.
The inaugural edition of Inside PR has been syndicated and is ready and waiting for listeners.
Co-hosted by Terry Fallis and me, our very …

Many congratulations, Terry and Dave. Some feedback to come once I’ve had a chance to listen to your first show. Your promo is in today’s episode of FIR, #125!

Terry and David: Congratulations, guys. Great premiere effort. And thanks for mentioning mesh.
BTW, Rubel was on our “wish list” before he joined Edelman. His move happened sometime during our planning, I think. Their Sponsorship was a natural, however, given their global position in PR via social media, and that I used to be a Client

Congratulations . I’ve been looking forward to this. Interesting stuff you talked about. I’ll be back for more.

Thanks, Lynn. I’m glad you found us. Don’t be shy about sending in a comment to the show with Waxmail (www.waxmail.biz)…we’d love to have some Canadian voices on the program.

Well done! Very engaging. Easy to listen to. I think you are being a little overly harsh about the reputation of public relations. Let’s not rehash the negatives but focus on the positives e.g. the important role we play in communications.
April 5th, 2006 » 9:45 am
Carol, thanks for listening to our show. I agree that we should be highlighting the postives, but I don’t think we’ll shy away from dealing with some of the issues that concern us as practitioners. Sometimes we’ll be dealing with some harsh realities, but hopefully by discussing, debating and having listeners join in, we’ll have a constructive dialogue.
At the same time, and as I said on the program, I would love to highlight great work that’s going on out there.
I hope you’ll keep listening and keep commenting. Senior practitioners like you bring a lot to the discussion.

Thanks for the comment Carol. It’s great to know PR leaders are listening. The goal of Inside PR is in fact to shine a positive light on the industry and dispel the many myths that plague us. But that can’t happen unless we examine those misperceptions and our industry’s role in reinforcing them. We hope we’re in for the long haul so while the journey may be uncomfortable at times, the destination will be worth the trip. Thanks again…
