Introducing Internet Radio Mashup

by 7 Comments

Since November of 2009 I’ve been maintaining an internet radio talk show on Blog Talk Radio. Since I don’t have a commercial incentive/requirement and do it largely because I enjoy it, it’s provided me with complete flexibility of subject matter, frequency and format. A few trends have evolved over time, so many of my shows fall under these general guidelines:

  1. Most involve 2-3 “panelists”
  2. Technology, Science, Non-Profits and Social Media are my main subject matter topics.
  3. Most episodes are just about 1 hour.

Why panels?

I do enjoy one on one discussions but the chemistry that emerges from groups is way more powerful. Panels that I’ve organized have discussed everything from what it is like to participate on TV’s Survivor Reality Series to Measurement, a Life Saving Gov 2.0 Application, Branding, and even a PRapalooza. With good panel chemistry the discussions can be hilariously funny and really shorten the perceived distance between the panelists and listeners. I’ve also been fortunate to have some excellent repeat guests perhaps most notably Yau-Man Chan, Kathrina Rashid, and the dynamic trio of Shonali Burke, Danny Brown and Gini Dietrich.

A new concept is born!

Recently I had an idea to bring together a mashup of interesting panelists to not necessarily tackle any topic in particular but to discuss issues of the day. The first panel of this kind is scheduled for Wednesday August 31st at 3PM Eastern time when guests Adriel Hampton (Nationbuilder), Melanie Burkie (SonRise Equestrian Foundation) and Rachael Seda (Host of Two JMU Alum Podcast) join me for Internet Radio Mashup Episode #1. Planning to listen, check out this post about getting the most out of Blog Talk Radio as a listener. Check out the official logo:

Summary

After grappling with how to best describe the SOBCON conference to friends I was encouraging to attend I did what anyone who enjoys a good conversation among friends would do. I planned a SOBCON panel on Blog Talk Radio. After reaching out to some of the people I met at SOBCON 2011 in Chicago I found some great panelists that were ready to join me. Panelists Amber Cleveland, Nacie Carson and Shashi Bellamkonda kicked off the conversation. Nacie and Amber had both been volunteers so they had some nice insights from an insiders perspective. Shashi has participated as a sponsor and panelist and we all had been participants. That is perhaps one of the coolest things about SOBCON, the presenters are integrated into the breakout sessions and participate in the conference. We were fortunate to also be joined by Liz Strauss and Marla Schulman both dialing in to surprise us. The chat was packed with some of our good friends including Angela Maiers and Andrew Marshall and others were listening in and chatting with us via Twitter.

Quotable

“Sobcon is more of a retreat than a conference.” – Amber Cleveland

5 things bloggers should know about Polarizing Blog Posts

You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life. ~Winston Churchill

Summary

I planned a debate with Gini Dietrich and Danny Brown over polarizing blog posts and online enemies. While researching the episode I realized I agreed with Gini and Danny more than I had realized. I am sure one day I will get the opportunity to debate with them about something. In the discussion we addressed the concept of online enemies but more specifically how both guests as bloggers and netizens really feel about these issues. Both guests are very passionate and well intended, they did have different approaches but there were a few great take aways:

  1. Don’t be afraid to challenge ideas.
  2. Focus on the ideas you dislike not the purveyors of the ideas.
  3. Be willing to learn from discourse and change.
  4. It’s a good practice to notify those whose ideas your are challenging.
  5. It can really be a challenge to keep post comments “on the rails” (on topic) when challenging ideas. (Proceed with caution)

Stop Alcohol Deaths LogoSummary

Shevonne Polastre founded Non-Profit S.A.D., which stands for Stop Alcohol Deaths, Inc., on March 2010 after losing her sister, Kristine Polastre, to alcohol poisoning on January 26, 2010. Shevonne realized that many people didn’t fully understand the dangers of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. She has decided to make it her quest in life to educate people on alcohol poisoning. Her plans are to use social media, public relations, and fundraising events to raise awareness for the non-profit organization. She wants to create a course, and start speaking to the youth and adolescents around the United States to get them to understand that drinking lots of alcohol does not equate to having a good time. January 26, 2011 marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of Kristine. During her life, Kristine dedicated it to help others. In the Air Force, she was part of the Honor Guard, mentoring troubled teenage girls, and raising funds for several nonprofit organizations. In April 2009, she went to war, heading to Afghanistan. Throughout all this, Kristine was very dedicated to her family. She was the light in all of our lives. Kristine was definitely a special and loving woman. She would not have died in vain because her death will bring awareness to help save other lives.
