BeanCast 177: Kissing The Pope

LISTEN TO THE SHOW NOW OR SUBSCRIBE FOR AUTODOWNLOADING

Such a great conversation this week!

Sometimes you have just the right mix of topics for just the right individuals. And sometimes the host doesn't have trouble talking. And together it mixes up into magic. Magic, I tell you!

From the link-baiting title to the inspired comments of some highly motivated panelists, you'll find lots to make you talk back to your MP3 player. What do you expect when we take on the piece written by Scott Montgomery on AdAge.com this week?

BTW, one of these days I'm going to have to write this show post and just say it sucked to see what happens. I sound like a broken record on this "great show" business.

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