#PodcastFriday

It's Friday, I've digested many a podcast this week and it's time to share. My favorite new discovery is DishyMix. Dishy Mix is a peek into the world of digital media. The show's creator and host is Susan Bratton who seems to know everyone in the social media and digital media space. This week I listened to Susan interview social media gurus, Chris Brogan and CC Chapman as well as former Carat agency head, Sarah Fay, and digital media magnet Tim O'Reilly. But my favorite DishyMix podcast was Susan's interview with Razorfish's Social Media chief, Shiv Singh. I met Shiv on a panel in New York earlier this year and I've been following his Going Social Now blog ever since. If you listen to one Dishy Mix podcast after reading this blog, listen to this one. Trust me, you will feel so much smarter after you do.

How did I find out about DishyMix?

Word of Mouth.

Yep, I was having lunch with a friend of mine last week and we were sharing our love of podcasts. He told me about DishyMix and then followed up with an email pointing me in the right direction. Once I saw that the show had interviews with some of my favorite people in the Digital Word of Mouth / Social Media space, I jumped right in.

I still found some time to squeeze in a couple of Adam Carolla's podcasts, but when I looked at the guest list this week, I was a little underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, I'll eventually listen to them all, but when I discovered DishyMix, I had to make a choice and Adam's interviews with David Allen Grier and Larry Miller will just have to wait. I'm in the middle of his interview with Dave Thomas which is pretty interesting so far. I grew up loving Bob & Doug McKenzie so getting the behind the scenes of the original Canadian Second City crew including John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, and Dan Aykroyd is very cool.

One last thing, I finally downloaded the Ricky Gervais podcast. I'm told this is the most downloaded podcast in history. And I know why. It's hilarious. I've only listened to a couple of them so far, but they are hysterical.

Happy #PodcastFriday!
