Peter Rojas of Engadget - A Podcast Experience

rsz_rojascrop.jpgThe other day I had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Peter Rojas, co-founder of Engadget and Joystiq, and formerly editorial director at Gizmodo.

Although our conversation initially focused on the most, and least, successful ways for marketers and PR folk to work with bloggers, we ended up covering a lot of ground including the new Radiohead release, the blurry line between producers and consumers in an era of unlimited digital manipulation, the evolving concept of "nature," and the mass media's "sovereignty over consciousness."

To listen to our conversation, you can use the device pictured here:

There are some hidden gems in this podcast. Once it's loaded, feel free to fast-forward to the following treasures:

18:42 - On Radiohead's "brilliant, smart, well-played gimmick"
27:09 - Young people and the infinitely manipulable digital world
29:49 - The changing idea of the "natural"
32:38 - On starting the next "YouTube-Facebook-Microsoft-Google"

You can download this episode along with other Talent Blog podcasts from Switchpod
or iTunes.
