Podcast Review: StartupStudio.com
3/25/2007
This week’s Podcast Review is about the StartupStudio.com Podcast
Description: Weekly podcasts showcasing startup stories and inspiring entreprenurs.
Comments: Startup Studio is produced and hosted by Betsy Flanagan. In addition to starting her own ventures, Ms. Flanagan has a passion for working with entrepreneurs.
A fairly young Podcast but already Startup Studio has quite a good list of entrepreneur interviews. With good productions values (Sound, editing, music and volume levels) Betsy can really focus on the content and her interviews.
Here are some recent titles:
- Embrace Pet Insurance founder Laura Bennett
- Matt Shobe co-founder of FeedBurner
- MerchantCircle founder Wayne Yamamoto
- Southwest Airlines founder Herb Kelleher
- Esprit founder Susie Tompkins Buell
I find Betsy to be a great inteviewer and she is able to bring the best out of her guests for the benefit of the listener.
Pluses: Startup Studio has all of my favorite things, great content, instant play, good show notes and each audio is even broken into small bites that you can go to and listen.
Easy subscription choices, a rating system and all of the latest social networking and reader click links are there to serve the visitor and listener.
Minuses: Nothing major here, my only suggestion is to pull everything on the website up a bit and use less open space (above the fold) and let me see more of my choices on the web page quicker.
Recommendation: This is just a great Podcast, great content, great website, listener and visitor options and flexibility. I strongly recommend that you visit and subscribe to the StartupStudio.com Podcast today.

Podcast Review: Guerilla Marketing Radio
3/18/2007
This week’s Podcast Review is about the Guerilla Marketing Radio Podcast
Description: Guerrilla Marketing Minutes are brief interviews with Jay Conrad Levinson, the founder of Guerrilla Marketing. Each segment is delivered in a 1-3 minute question and answer format that covers a key Guerrilla Marketing idea, principle, tactic, or strategy
Comments: It seems like the Guerrilla Marketing brand had been around forever and it keeps going strong. These short but content packed podcasts are easy to digest and straight to the point.
No fancy production values here, the sound is even kind of echo filled but still understandable. Mr. Levinson covers such topics as:
- What Do People Want Online?
- Avoiding Advertising Mistakes
- How To Be An Exceptional Guerrilla Marketer
- How Many Guerrilla Marketing Weapons Are There?
- How to Write Great Marketing Copy
- How To Use Creativity in Marketing and much more…
*Caution to get more than the last 10 podcasts you have to sign up for a free membership.
Pluses: Very good content, delivered quickly which is perfect for our audio snack bite appetites. The audio also plays quickly.
The website is simple but functional and subscription options are readily available, you can also access the vast wealth of other forms of Guerrilla Marketing information through the podcast site.
Minuses: I would rather not have to subscribe to the email list to get access to more Podcasts and will my RSS reader pick them up if I do?
Note: The gold Podcast button you will see is the same as the ‘download’ function you see with other Podcast sites.
Recommendation: Like all good Podcasts it is the content that rules and that is the case here, no matter the environment around it, content always wins the day for me. I highly recommend you check out the Guerilla Marketing Radio Podcast.
