Learn Something on Your Way Home

If you live in the greater Milwaukee area, the constant stream of snowfall has made the daily commute about twice as long this winter. So, in an attempt to keep my sanity, I have become addicted to podcasts.

It's nearly impossible to keep up with all of the advertising industry emails and blogs that you encounter on a daily basis. So I have started using this alone time in the car to catch up on what is going on in the advertising world and social media. It's amazing how quickly the time can go...

Here are a couple of my favorite:
  • Influence 2.0 Podcasts
  • Marketing Matters with M7
  • Social Media Cast
  • The Programming Insider Podcast

And a few for fun:

  • Manic Mommies
  • The DivaCast

I also throw in a trashy audio book here and there as well.

Why I am blogging...

We have created a new website at our agency which included blogs and podcasts. I was one of the first employees to be on the blog "list". I was not excited about this prospect. 1) I don't like writing. 2) It makes me uncomfortable. 3) I didn't want to be judged, etc.... But now that I have made the leap, it is kind of liberating. It's like writing in a diary but others can read it. I hope to update this with insightful media topics, cool stuff or just rants (I promise I won't name names!).

Thanks for reading!
