  1. I’m continually impressed by the job you both do on this podcast.  Not only does the show continue to be as innovative and informative as ever but I love the new logo.  I also think your using TheNewPRWiki as a home for show notes is fantastic.  What a great way to utilize what Constantin has done there and create a single home for your show notes.  Fantastic work.

  2. Hello Shel & Neville.

    Please take a look at OPML Search (http://www.opmlsearch.com/) again.
    The service is getting better all the time :-)
    a) Improved user interface.
    b) You are able now to ‘filter URLs’.
    For instance http://www.opmlsearch.com/?Search=podcast&SearchURL=http://www.forimmediaterelease.biz shows all the FIR-results for ‘podcast’ and http://www.opmlsearch.com/?Search=senseo&SearchURL=http://www.forimmediaterelease.biz guides you to ‘Soundvertising with Senseo’ in FIR #71.

    (Results as far as OPML files were submitted of course)

    Till next time.

    Fred

  3. Hey Shel and Neville

    Been listening for a while now and love your show - I created one of Australia’s first Boutique PR agencies many years ago called “OUT Communications”. It was specifically targeted at comms within and toward the Gay and Lesbian community.  I am also a pretty well known as an underground dance beatmix DJ here in my native Sydney (the city of dance parties)- I have played to 26,000 people, so I love PR and sound - and rejoice in you putting them together in a show!! Well Done…. 

    I wanted to follow up on two Australian references you have made recently - one on Cricket and the other, Vegemite.  Vegemite is also a yeast derivative (as is Marmite) in fact it is a by-product of beer (what else would you expect from us Aussies but to feed our children!) and as for cricket - well the world is not enough!!

    Keep up the good work!

    BTW I have recently been appointed the Membership Officer of the Public Relations Institute of Australia and would welcome any Aussies or prospective Aussies wanting to be a part of the communications industry body here getting in touch through pria.com.au

    Cheers Lloyd Grosse
