Agriblogging and Farm Podcasting Workshop

Chuck Zimmerman

Hello from Portland and the Ag Media Summit. I’m here in the Portland Hilton, Galleria North room ready to start another workshop on how to blog and podcast.

I’ll probably post during the presentation too and have a summary of how it went for you later.

Farm Podcasting Proven

Chuck Zimmerman

SwinecastOne of the first agricultural podcasts is the Swinecast. I’ve been following it’s development since early last year and I can tell you this is no longer some sort of unproven concept. Ask Dennis Erpelding at Elanco Animal Health what he thinks. Kudos to Ned Arthur for taking a bold step into the new media world. We’re getting there buddy! I hope no one believes that a company like Eli Lilly would invest in this new technology without serious thought and the belief that it is helping them accomplish their customer communication goals.

Recorder For The Farm Podcaster

Belkin TuneTalk StereoWhile I’m on podcasting. How long before you see your favorite farm podcaster sticking one of these in your face at a farm meeting? I’m guessing only as long as it takes me to get my hands on one since they’re supposed to be available this month.

Podtrac, which claims to have the largest database of demographic information on the people who listen to podcasts just released the results of their quarterly survey. Here’s some interesting findings:

Porter Novelli Adelaide GroupI just finished a blogging/podcasting workshop with the Porter Novelli agency in Adelaide, Australia. I only wish I had been able to be there in person. This fine looking group did send me a picture from during the presentation. I had control of their computer with NetMeeting and we were on speakerphone.

Webcasting Is Not Podcasting

Chuck Zimmerman

Corn Products InternationalJust this morning I got asked about webcasting vs. podcasting. Well, here’s an example of how to use webcasting. Apparently, Sam Scott, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Corn Products International, will deliver a slide presentation via webcast at 11:15 a.m. Eastern Time on May 18 at the Harris Nesbitt Agriculture and Protein Conference in New York.
