When Bob Knorpp, host of one of the best — ok, arguably, THE BEST, marketing podcast anywhere — asks you to be a BeanCast panelist, you can’t say no. At least, I couldn’t resist. Bob does a thorough job of researching the hottest topics of the week, assembling a panel of brainy marketing folks (an endorsement this blonde doesn’t mind), and more than anything knows how to keep lively conversation flowing. This week’s show is a juicy mix of topics: Apple, iCloud news, mobile short codes, LinkedIn and the ROI debate, Facebook making commenting mandatory…and more. I had the pleasure of joining cool-cat game-changers David Prager, Revision3, whose Internet Television company is changing how people watch TV programming, Aaron Strout, head of location-based marketing at WCG, and co-author of the upcoming book Location-Based Marketing For Dummies, and Faris Yakob, chief innovation officer at MDC Partners.
The experience was fun, insightful, and re-ignited my love for podcasts. So, give this one a listen, and subscribe to The BeanCast immediately. You will be glad you did.

What podcasts are on your playlist? I just may have to consider playing around with a Buzzcloud Podcast myself.
Who would be your dream panel for the first Buzzcloud podcast?
If I did a Buzzcloud Podcast, I’d have weekly themes.u00a0 The first one I’d kick it off with would be music, and my goal would be lofty (but hey, we’re just talking dream panel concept): I’d want to moderate a discussion between music Icons, recent breakthroughs, and emerging artists.u00a0 My dream line-up would be Madonna,u00a0 Adele, and Claire London. Not only would I want to talk about their artistry, but how the marketing of music is either helping or hurting them. They each would bring a unique buzz-worthy perspective to that.
