My Thoughts:
Wow! Good overview as you say, very clear voices, how come they'r doing this?
ReplyDeleteThanks Josh, I was contacted a while ago and it was suggested that I share some content. So I did that, interestingly I think they've used Notebook to create the script/voicework. Not sure about the two way conversation, that's up to the audience though.
ReplyDeleteCan't harm the case, some extra exposure can only be good. there's quite a few podcasts that have covered it over the past few years but then again, they all pretty much toe the same line, this one sounds different from the start, different approach.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, the exposure can be beneficial, everyone wins. The points of difference are real, it's evidence and fact based. People can check it out if they want and each claim is substantiated. On paper at least its all for the good. Just checked the stats, 23 visits since I posted it about an hour ago. Time will tell, another week we'll have a better idea.
