Talking. Boozing. Podcasting.

Went to listen to a talk about 'cool' internet stuff by Russell at W+K last night, Neil sums it up pretty well here.

Russell said that he wasn't sure it was the best way to present online stuff (in a room full of people watching him navigate around while he talked), but I'd disagree, I thought his commentary, the questions, and discussion made it an unusually team spirited venture - which is rare when doing online things.

Regardless, it was a good hour.

Grabbed a quick drink afterwards with Russell and Faris. Faris is a good bloke (bought me a beer) with an interesting blog, that you can read here.

After that caught up with Mark Hughes, mate of mine, self-proclaimed important man in media, and a miserable drunk.

We got rather pissed and decided in a moment of poor judgement to record an ad hoc podcast. I'm posting it for a number of reasons;

1. Mark wants to hear it.

2. I think there is some interesting stuff in there on the future of media agencies (Mark works at Carat).

3. It's quite funny (there's burping, a beggar requesting change, and Mark constantly trying to summarise).

Be warned though - no notes, no preparation, lots of liqor, and bad language.

Of all the podcasts, which are fast becoming legendary, this is your most serious 'interview face'.

Practice makes perfect.

On the media debate it's worth looking at http://www.adliterate.com/archives/2006/07/an_end_to_the_a_1.html

A riveting interview !!
Up there with the legendary Wogan/George Best chat of many years ago.

The best Harry C comment so far!

Also, just so you know Dad, there seems to be an appetite for a Harry C interview...

That's nice but I don't drink gin.
