These little show intros are getting to be broken record. Blah, blah, blah...greatest panel ever...etc. etc.

But I must say that I had a really good time tonight. The group had total chemistry. Plus considering we were extremely heavy on the social side of the business, it was good to have so much expertise assembled to discuss things.

So please, download and listen right now. And think about subscribing to the show. It would make my day.

I hope you enjoy the program. And please remember, I'd love some more Twitter followers to continue the conversation there. Just follow

This was such an amazing show! We mixed it up with great debate right from the beginning. Steve's constant refrain of, "I completely disagree with you," was music to my ears. Because really, the show's not as much fun when we all agree with each other. 

So please, join the debate. Listen and then comment. I'd love to hear your side of the story as well.

Joe's comment about companies comparing their LIKE strength like guys compare penis size was both accurate and uncomfortably funny. So of course, it had to become the show title. And given that this was our 200th episode, it's a not-so-subtle reminder to LIKE us on Facebook.

But all Klout-inspired pitches aside, it's been such a pleasure being welcome into so many playlists over the past four years. Thanks for listening and please tell a friend. I'd love to see this show expand even further into the hearts and minds of adland.

All right. Sometimes I trip over my own words. And sometimes I get completely tied up in them and fall flat on my face. That's all I have to say about the whole probe incident.

But probing aside, the conversation was completely up to the usual BeanCast caliber, including some spirited conversations on digital marketing and online video.

Another mad-capped romp in BeanCast land this week. Such a great show with some energetic debate.

Sounds like a broken record right? Well, like usual these few words don't do justice to the actual product, so take a listen and judge for yourself. I really believe you'll find yourself talking back to your podcast player once again.

Managing this show is sometimes a real challenge. When guests cancel at the last minute I'm usually left scrambling and irritable, when I should be preparing myself for the show.

But this week a last-minute line-up change resulted in an amazing program with perfect chemistry. Let me tell you, I cast each panel carefully. It's rare that I can just slip someone new in at the last minute and get perfection. So chalk it up to luck and good friends.

I know what you're thinking. You're going, "Bob, why are you recording a show on Easter?" And my answer is the same as it is every Easter: "Commitment!"

That aside, it was great to get together this with this group. I can't wait for you to hear it and offer up some commentary. There were some really poignant discussions about cultural challenges to approaching loyalty and retention in business today. Very interesting stuff.

Admittedly, the name of the show this week is not fair to Ian. But it was pretty funny. Enough said on that fact.

As for the episode itself, we ended up having a lively debate on the subject of digital targeting. The topic is not new, but in light of recent news it deserves some increased scrutiny. This one will definitely have you talking back to your iPod, computer or car radio. So dig in and discuss!

Yes, I got crazy and decided to tackle transmedia this week. Oh boy. 

This complicated subject dominates the conversation on the show. The panel dug in deep and kept going, even when I tried to reel it in, which was completely awesome. I love when the panel gets passionate about a subject, and this subject inspired some of the most passionate points I've heard in a long time.

But the conversation didn't stop there. We managed to log in almost a hour and a half of discussion, making this one of the longest BeanCasts we've had in a quite a while. Which means that either this was a super interesting show that I didn't want to end, or I'm losing my touch at managing these things.

Ah, Pinterest!

The site is not only growing at a faster pace than any other social site, but also gathering the trust of women everywhere. And for the guys? As Rupal related about what a co-worker at Ad Age said, "It's like spying on a slumber party."

But that aside, we spent the majority of the time talking about mobile web sites, apps, location and other things related to mobile shopping. It clocks in at just under 1:30, so it's definitely one of the longer shows. But it's also one of the most interesting.
