Don't "try" to be anything. Just be genuine. :-) Not saying you weren't being yourself at NME. But people can detect when you (or anyone) is being even a little bit false. And that's bad. I probably won't be at NME next year (I hate Las Vegas), but good luck on whatever you decide to present! :-) @Heidi - want my advice? Don’t “try” to be anything. Just be genuine. :-)

Here I thought I was being all cool and polite! Perhaps my desire NOT to be one of those stuffy speakers went too far. At any rate, thanks for continuing the conversation. I found the seminars at NME hit or miss as well. Ah, see, and being from Texas, I call everyone “dear” and “darlin’.” Here I thought I was being all cool and polite!

I don't know if there's any clear-cut advice I'd give you. Maybe I just wasn't the target audience. But I can tell you that there are little things you do, maybe without even thinking about it, that come across as really condescending. For instance, I don't know if you did it intentionally because you were irked about what I wrote, but I REALLY dislike being called "buddy". Especially by someone who isn't. I imagine you might feel the same if someone referred to you as "honey" or "sweetcakes" or something similarly derogatory. Anyway, there was a lot of good information in your talk. Like I said, I probably just wasn't the target audience. Call me a little to arrogant and sure of myself, I guess. @Heidi - glad you stopped by and posted a comment.

I was really worried the advice would be too basic; interviewing is such a fine-tuned skill. And I SO did NOT want to be one of those people who is all "ask open-ended questions and you'll be fine," which is why I tried to give specific examples from my own and other people's interview experiences. I'm sure I'll tackle a different topic next year, but any advice? I speak for a living, and I really do love feedback. If you think there's anything I could do to make the talks more useful, I'm all ears! Josh–

Unfortunately, we are not. Our request is: "What the best idea you heard at the New Media Expo that would help a business person who is currently not podcasting - to help them quickly jump in?" We’ll also add this request: "Please, no philosophical meanderings, advanced technological hoo-haw or sales pitches - just great ideas that will get someone up and running as a podcaster quickly and with minimum of heartache and brain damage." We think that’s cheeky enough. After all, about 99.9% of us average business people still don’t do any podcasting (that we know of) and we’re still, well, just a little bit confused by the technological challenges and the potential benefits.
