I’ve been getting quite a few requests to do interviews lately, which is quite flattering, but I’m rarely inclined to do them. However, I’ve been talking a bit lately with fellow Dallas resident and Mavericks fanatic Scott Baradell of Media Orchard and Spin Thicket fame, and he’s convinced me to stop being so anti-social about social media.
So, tonight Scott will be kicking off his new podcast by interviewing me.
Here’s the cool part.
We’ll be using a new service from Blog Talk Radio to do the interview. The name pretty much says it all—instead of just a static podcast with two guys talking, the free BTR service allows listeners to call in and participate, just like an old school talk radio show.
So, if there’s anything you want to ask, here’s your chance. Or, if you just want to listen to me make bad jokes, you can do that too.
The show kicks off at 8:00 pm CST tonight, and you can sign up to be reminded via email 5 minutes before show time here.
The call-in number is 646-915-8556.
Should be fun, so I hope you’ll join us tonight!

I’ll have to make sure to tune in. Have you ever considered running your own show?
Also, is there any kind of Chat running during the show? It is great to have for spinoff conversations etc. Perhaps people would be interested in meeting at irc.freenode.net #copyblogger if there are no other ‘official’ chat facilities…

I’ll be listening- So will our recruiter and HR and three super models who want to share an office with you at the media oasis. 🙂

Brian-I listened to the broadcast this morning. I love the concept. It was great to hear your voice. Talk about feeling a closer connection! I am inspired to try my hand at it too. Keep up the great work.

Damn. I missed it. I would have called in and just busted your balls a little.
Jon Morrow says
Brian, you know I’m a fan, but…
Damn that sucked.
Scott could have done a much better job preparing for that call. He seemed confused, had low energy, and asked poor questions.
It was painful to hear, so I know it must have been painful to do. Still, you handled it graciously. In fact, you shined.
But I’m starting to understand why you don’t grant many interviews. Other bloggers just don’t seem to be prepared.
Brian says
Hey Jon, I thought Scott did fine, especially considering it was the first show and there were technical difficulties beyond his control.
I think BlogTalkRadio is a cool service, but there are a few bugs that need to be worked out. It’s brand new so that’s to be expected.

why not just run your own skype cast? the new skype 3.0 beta has the skype casts right on the skype interface it is awesome.
Always wanted to say that I’m a big fan of your blog!

Wow. I just finished listening to it. Even with the few technical glitches the show was really great. It was a really cool way to interact with you.

Hi Brian,
Great opportunity, I hope you will do more.

I think Blog Talk Radio is a great concept. The archiving is what sets it apart. And that profit sharing (however that works). Does Skype let you archive? Anyway, it was nice to be a part of the conversation. Sorry I broke the machine 🙂
