  1. Shel & Neville:

    It seems like it’s been forever between FIR episodes. While Dan and I had fun recording episode 339, I’d much rather listen to you than try to be you.

    Welcome to Michael Netzley. I’m looking forward to hearing the Asian perspective, though I also hope Lee Hopkins finishes getting doctored soon. (I should talk; I never completed my PhD dissertation.)

    The FIR blog seems so lonely without comments that I thought I’d better leave one. The show has suffered a mysterious comment deficiency lately, though the comment from Rodrigo at Amigo Audio was great and I’m dying to hear what we should be saying instead of “Latin America.” Send more! (And watch out or Shel & Neville will make you a correspondent.)

    Here’s a suggestion, based on the discovery that translation is really bilingual business communication: aren’t all of us in business becoming “business communicators”? Especially if we’re using tools like blogs, podcasts, and social networks?

  2. hmmmmmmmmmmm, not so sure about the music this week guys.  The rest of the show is ace though. Welcome Michael. And btw…blogging can’t have rules. If you tame it, you’ll wreck it.
