99 shows worth of bloopers, flubs and technical difficulties!

When Shel Holtz was recently in Toronto, he teamed up with Terry Fallis to present a breakfast session on the power of podcasting to a group of Thornley Fallis clients.  Their presentation was recorded and this podcast is the result.

The presentation was accompanied by PowerPoint slides but the commentary from Shel and Terry stands alone quite well.  The presentation concludes with a question and answer session where only the answers are audible in the podcast.

The podcast runs just over an hour.  Comments are welcome through the Inside PR blog at www.insidepr.ca, via e-mail at insideprcomments@gmail.com, or through our comment line at 207-600-4741.
