I know posting has been a little light here today but you can visit the Biodiesel Conference Blog if you want to see what I’ve been up to. For example, my buddy Luke Perry here did a press conference just a little while ago to publicly support this renewable fuel effort. Daryl Hannah jumped into the press conference a little late but you can hear her too.
Daryl Hannah On Biodiesel
Here’s a ZimmCast that’s a little different. The first star to support biodiesel is Daryl Hannah.
Podcasting 7 Deadly Sins
Let’s take a break for a moment from the Cattle Industry Convention and talk about podcasting. Since I know many of our readers are considering this great new way to communicate there are certainly some considerations. A nice little list of “The 7 Deadly Sins of Commercial Podcasting” can be found on Media Savvy 2.0. They’re really focusing on people who want to commercialize their podcast efforts but I think that a lot of what they say applies to any company that is considering it. They refer to podcasting as “nanocasting.” Here’s just one of the list:
Beef Lover Sweepstakes Contests
The Missouri Beef Industry Council’s weekly MBIC Report this week is with Marketing Director Dawn Thurnau who talks about sweepstakes contests for beef lovers that are being promoted in national magazines in addition to regular beef advertising.

A big announcement was made today and I think agricultural communicators should take notice. I really think you need to check this out.
XM Satellite Radio With Willie Nelson
This is ZimmCast number 52. I know that means a year but in the early week’s I did a couple extra’s at an event. It took me a few weeks to get into the rythym. It’s close enough to a year though. My how time flies when you’re having fun.
Indy Racing League Podcasting
I don’t know how interested you are in renewable fuels like ethanol or biodiesel but you ought to see what Cindy’s been doing over at DomesticFuel. That’s a ZimmComm blog that we’ve been cranking up the production on.
Beef And Veterinarians
The Missouri Beef Industry Council’s weekly MBIC Report this week is with Executive Director Steve Taylor. Steve talks about their presence this weekend at the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association annual meeting in Branson and how veterinarians are partners in the beef industry’s long range plan to increase profitability by assuring a high quality product.
Join NAMA For Chance At Video iPod
I’m jumping the gun just a little with this post but it’s the only time I have until later today. Here’s another reason to get “Jazzed” about NAMA. Now’s the time to join if you haven’t already. Hey, if you join then you get the “member” rate for convention in April. To provide a little incentive NAMA is holding a contest to encourage you to join or recruit someone else to join.
A ZimmCast On Rural Internet Access
The issue of rural internet access is a very important one in agricultural marketing and communications today. Last week I posted the full presentation made by Tim Ganschow, Agristar Global Networks, at the Gateway NAMA meeting. I’ve selected a couple of segments from Tim’s talk for you in this week’s ZimmCast. I hope you enjoy it.
