BeanCast 181: The 2011 Year In Review

LISTEN TO THE SHOW NOW OR SUBSCRIBE FOR AUTODOWNLOADING

It's that time again!

Each year, we take the last regular show of the year and run down the biggest stories of 2011. It's a retrospective that's both fun and informative, as we remember how much the marketing landscape has changed in the last 12 months.

And this year I have two words to sum up the experience: Stephen Hawking. Nuff said.

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

Comment by Dave Delaney on December 20, 2011 at 8:51am: Loved the episode Bob. I'm so happy I discovered The Bean Cast this year. It's been fun to hear you and your guests (many of which are friends). I thoroughly enjoy each show!

Your discussion of interns running Twitter accounts reminded me of a post I wrote a while back. I thought I would share it here: http://www.davemadethat.com/2009/05/29/social-media-professionals-n...

Happy Holidays! I look forward to future episodes. Keep up the great work.

Comment by Bob Knorpp on December 20, 2011 at 9:36am: Thanks! Really appreciate the sentiment and the support. Happy holidays to you as well.

Comment by Bud Adams on December 20, 2011 at 6:09pm: Hey Bob, been listening to your show for a while, finally took notice of where you got your music, but maybe it's just not my lucky day - Pod Safe Audio doesn't seem to exist... let me know. Thanks, if you have a chance check out my show Creative Over Coffee. -Bud

Comment by Bob Knorpp on December 20, 2011 at 6:46pm: Yeah, podsafe was pulled within the last few months. I need to update the show notes. Not sure where to go now! But luckily I have a good relationship with Craig Jacks who did my out music. He supplies me with tracks as I need them.

BTW, thanks so much for listening! I appreciate it so much.

Comment by Danny Starr on December 21, 2011 at 2:03pm: this was a great show and great way to cap off a great year Bob.

Angela delivered the best line I have ever heard about Klout - "it's just a way for people to stroke their e-penis" LOL
