FIR in the news

BBC’s “The World Tonight” covers FIR

We don’t like to toot our own horn—okay, yes, we do. “For Immediate Release” was the subject of a report on the June 17 edition of the BBC’s “The World Tonight.” Our podcast was sandwiched in between a report from Brussels and a story about the Iranian elections. A BBC reporter interviewed Neville in his Amsterdam office; the interview is interspersed with snippets from previous shows, including our interview with IBM’s Mike Wing. You can hear the segment by following these instructions (courtesy of Neville):

Here’s how to listen to the Radio 4 broadcast:

  1. Go to The World Tonight - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/worldtonight/
  2. Click on the link “Listen to the latest programme” and then use the drag down menu on the right to find last week’s listing of The World Tonight programmes
  3. Choose the programme for Friday 17 June. You should get a popup window (depending on your browser) that will start playing the show. You can also choose to listen to it in a stand-alone Real player if you have that installed

The 4-minute segment on podcasting starts at about 23:52 into the 45-minute broadcast.

We also got a terrific review on a blog called “so this is mass communication” by Dr. Kaye Trammell from Louisiana State University (who, by the way, produced her doctoral dissertation on celebrity blogs).
