Got Juice?

Well, it’s live.  My co-hosting of the second most popular marketing Podcast (according to iTunes).  #42 of Joseph Jaffe’s Across The Sound is up.  I hope I did OK.  Chatting it up with Jaffe is harder than you think.  He’s got an incredible presence, is sharp as a knife and to top it all off, there’s that accent.  To put this in context—my wife was listening to the recording and she instantly fell in LOVE with Jaffe’s voice.  I’m not kidding. I was like “Hey honey—what about me?  How did i do??”

:)

So, I hope I did justice to the some areas I care about.  I tried to use the discussion to “promote” four issues:

-The Logic + Emotion story
-The evolution of creativity
-The importance of building brands while creating community + converZAtion (Jaffe picks on my sporadic Lawng Eyesland accent)—But note that I’m not the one who mangled Vincent "FerraZI's" name...  :)
-The need for Advermarketing to create both good experiences + interactive stories

So the morale of the story is this: doing the podcast was fun—but I really need to work on my “radio voice”.  Oh and for the single fellas out there—if you are competing for a ladie's attention with a gentleman who has both smarts and a foreign accent—just hang up your hat and walk away.

Hope you enjoy the podcast.

Oh yeah.  Last point.  Jaffe announced a big time guest that you will want to know about.  I won’t give it away—but here’s a hint.  This person is on everyone’s blogroll. Except mine.

I thought you did great, exceptional considering it was your first podcast. I like the 2-person format too, good to see both of you bouncing ideas off each other.

Well worth the 2 hours it took me to download it ;)

You did great David, and I think you need to face up the the fact that your a somebody now :-) Just like Steve Martins "the jerk" when he got his name in the phone book:

"The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! My name in print! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening to me now."

Mack - every time I think of you using dial-up, a part of me dies!

David - easy way to overcome your wife's voice-crush...just show her a picture of me :)

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with you...it was an hour of truly great food for the head and heArt...and looking forward to your correspondant contributions!

Mack, thanks. When I'm rich and famous, I am going to buy you some broadband.

Karl, Love "The Jerk" reference—maybe I'll come up with an invention and lose all my money due to a lawsuit. But not after I get to put a Disco Tech in my basement.

Joe, I really had fun, and I didn't show my wife a picture of you—I want to see how long I can keep this crush thing going... :) Thanks again for the opportunity.

David -- Congrats on your virgin podcast experience! I'm listening to it now and enjoying the interaction between you and "jJ"....good stuff. And like your first "time"...the awkward moments will fade and on balance you'll remember it fondly, I'm sure.

Very thoughtful and inspiring....can someone please tell Jaffe to upgrade the sound effects? Something more subtle and inviting...

cheers
