After a short break following the conclusion of Deep Dive: MH370 season one, founder and host Andy Tarnoff is back to explain what is coming next on the new Deep Dive Podcast Network.
OnMilwaukee Owner, Founder, President and Publisher Andy Tarnoff joins Wisconsin's Midday News to discuss OnMilwaukee's annual April Fools Day Publication featuring around 30 April Fools stories with silly headlines and clearly photoshopped images.
For those following the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and had already suspected pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah of hijacking the plane, killing his passengers and himself – the discovery of data on his home flight simulator was the smoking gun.Out of some 600 saved routes on his PC, one resembled the flight that allegedly ended in the South Indian Ocean on March 8, 2014. Except the routes between the satellite-data-backed projected flight path and Zaharie's simulated course didn't match up in many important ways. Was it a training run for mass murder-suicide, or just an eerie coincidence made by a man who didn't fit the psychological profile of a criminal with that kind of a murderous capacity?As usual, it depends how you see the mystery. In Episode 23, Jeff Wise and Andy Tarnoff break it down and recreate the evidence to explore the key similarities and differences between flight and flight simulator.Even more details at our show page, here: https://www.deepdivemh370.com/23-the-flight-simulatorEpisode 23 is sponsored by OnMilwaukee.com, an award-winning independent local media company based in Milwaukee, Wis.

In this first episode, journalist and aviation expert Jeff Wise and OnMilwaukee publisher Andy Tarnoff set the stage for how to discuss the mystery of the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight 370. They interview Peter Waring, who was a lieutenant in the Australian Navy in 2014 and participated in the search for wreckage with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. Wise and Tarnoff talk about how best to approach this unsolved case, laying out the journalistic and scientific methods they will use to peel away the layers of the onion in each upcoming podcast episode.
In episode four of Deep Dive: MH370, Jeff Wise and Andy Tarnoff explore yet another twist and turn in the vanishing of the missing plane. They also debunk some popular theories of what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, as well as comment on another story making the rounds online: that the plan was taken by UFOs. A video version of this podcast is available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw
This week, Jeff Wise and Andy Tarnoff break down the latest in a string of stunning developments into the disappearance of Malaysia Airline flight MH370. It's the week after the revelation that Inmarsat had been collecting data from the missing plane for a full six hours after it vanished from military radar. Now it turns out that, with a bit of clever math, Inmarsat scientists have been able to narrow down the plane's location to seven broad arcs — and more than that, these arcs imply that the plane took one of two routes towards its final destination. One route goes north, the other goes south — but which is correct?For more information about the episode, and a link to the video version of this podcast, visit our show page at deepdivemh370.com
Today's guest is Andy Tarnoff, owner of OnMilwaukee. Listen as he and Mike talk about OnMilwaukee and our Hazelnut Brown Ale collab!
Meet AndyAndy is the founder of On Milwaukee, he's a Milwaukee native, he lived in Providence, Washington, DC, and Baltimore before returning home in 1996. Andy launched onmilwaukee.com LLC in April 1998 as a way to channel his passion for Milwaukee, journalism, and tech into a cutting-edge media company. He's a graduate of the George Washington University and worked at the White House Office of Communications, the Dallas Morning News, Washington Barrel, and to Milwaukee PR firms before branching out on his own at age 23. And he is more passionate than ever about Milwaukee's mission statement to grow communities and businesses through engaging digital media. What would you recommend for how a business does PR?That's a good question. Because I've worked on both sides of the business. I've been in PR and media relations, and I've been in journalism, and I've gone back and forth. And sometimes my role continues to be on both sides of things. So I know what it's like to pitch and I know what it's like to be pitched. And what I always tell people is to make sure you have a relevant story for the outlet that you're pitching it to. If I looked at my email inbox right now, it would probably be about 700 messages today, mostly people trying to get coverage of things, and most of the time, it's not relevant. So people are spending an awful lot of time putting energy into things that don't really match who they're talking to. And it makes it more difficult for us to sort through it. Back in the day, media relations equated to news releases. And now that's, that's just one piece of it. So I would recommend that anyone working in public relations considers all the different tools that are available to get their message out and do it in a way that resonates with the journalists on the other side.So what are some mistakes you see businesses making in getting the press's attention?If you make it too hard on the journalist, make your job easier, right? So so let's just start with, like the basics of news release writing, like, if it's a sales pitch, if it's full of typos if it's faxed, you know, it's like, Give me something not as much as they used to. But I mean, you know, give me something that a very busy Junior writer, if they wanted to, could pretty much copy and paste, I would never tolerate that, from our journalists. But, you know, the best news release is one that is already written in APA style, if that's what the publication uses. It's not, you know, it's, it's, it's not, it's, it's not an ad, right, you know, people can pay for that this isn't native content, like, show me why it's newsworthy, and write it is such, the biggest mistake is pitching things that are relevant, and then, you know, getting annoyed, why it's not working, and being blocked, you know, blowing your shot on that. And something, when you could have something else that would work. Because it's a relationship, basically, you know, some stranger, coming to me and asking for favors. It's like, you know, this, this is hard work. And we have a lot to choose from. To understand what we are, I get a lot of pitches addressed to the wrong publication. And it's like, come on, like, that's a pretty much surefire way to, not to know like, you know, hear the wrong name, you know, who you're talking to. And then I think that being respectful of the way that reporter wants to communicate, so for me, like I don't, I don't want to do this over Facebook Messenger, or I don't want to do this over text. And that's how people pitch me all the time. And I'll say, you know, could you please send me an email, but other people will say, like, you know, fire me off a text or something. And remember that you're asking a journalist to do something. And if you make it too hard, and you don't respect the deadlines, you don't respect what they need. You're just hurting your chances of success.If you could go...
