Minnov8 Gang 178 – Is This Thing On?

August 3, 2012 By Steve Borsch

The shifts in media and social media continue unabated, all while technology software and hardware companies jockey for position on who will be the core technology provider to we media consumer and users. Especially interesting was our discussion before the podcast began where Phil revealed the photo you see above (he’s heading down to Lacrosse, WI next week to attend a radio station reunion where he worked in his twenties). Feel free to tease him.

Hosts: Steve Borsch, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson (Tim Elliott is off this week)
Music: Remember by Bob Kirkpatrick from the podsafe Music Alley.
