I’ve received so much support over the years and I’m so grateful for those that are behind me. Winning this award would have a huge impact on my Music Career”.

Ooh boy. Studio 60 really goes for the gusto here, as Aaron Sorkin creates a punching bag to let his enlighted characters sound off on the absolutely ludicrous idea that a woman working in the comedy industry might be the victim of sexual harassment. I mean, can you imagine? We hold our noses through "4 AM Miracle," "The Disaster Show," and "Breaking News," and marvel at how little self-awareness this show has. Then, speaking of gross, it's time to talk about Matt Weiner, as the recent allegations make "For Immediate Release" unpleasant to sit through.

In this episode, our hosts discuss the future of PR. Our industry is always changing, as professionals it is important to always be on top of what is new – not to change our strategy every five minutes, but rather to ensure the tactics we use continue to connect with our audience. As young professionals, it is even more important to be on top of trends. As the “young” ones in the office we may be called upon to provide information about the latest social media trend. While our host Kristine D’Arbelles attended a conference in Minneapolis, she ran into a good friend of the podcast, Shel Holtz, founder of the FIR podcast network and host of For Immediate Release, one of the longest running podcasts on communications and PR. Shel was presenting on the future of PR. Kristine sat down with him after his presentation to ask him a few questions. Shel had some good insight to share. Our hosts dive into some of the trends he presented: Messaging: the number one trend in social media? Dark social: what is it and how can PR and communications professionals deal with it? Facebook strategy: a pointless exercise, we explain why. Content strategy: how to build one in 60 seconds or less! Young PR Pros wants to thank Shel Holtz for taking the time to share his insight and knowledge on the future of PR and communications.

The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, April 8, 2015, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about the predictive power HR can bring, and this week we're going to talk about the adoption of social software for workforce collaboration and communication. Social software today enables workforce collaboration and communication. The McKinsey Global Institute estimates productivity improves by 20-25% in organizations with connected employees, and the potential for revenue amounts to $1.3 trillion per year. But the adoption of internal social media will require a strategic change management initiative to move away from email that still dominates the enterprise today. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as we talk about the adoption of social software for workforce collaboration and communication with this week’s guest: Shel Holtz, Principal of Holtz Communication + Technology and a prolific blogger and co-host of the first and longest-running communications podcast, For Immediate Release.  Thank you to all our TalentCulture sponsors and partners: Dice, TalentWise, Hootsuite, IBM, CareerBuilder, PeopleFluent, Jobvite, Predictive Analytics World for Workforce and HRmarketer Insight. And we're big CandE supporters!

Interview edition - Shel Holtz, of Holtz Communications + Technology, and the co-host of the long-running "For Immediate Release" podcast.

NOTE: This technology was sold to Podango after this episode. Go to http://cms.podango.net however for the most part its been broken ever since. The great thing about podcasting is its getting big enough for companies to start building tools for podcasters. Today we look at the Audio Lite system from Gigavox (the makers of the Levelator). www.gigavox.com You can record your podcast in segements. Then (if needed) you can update certain segments (like an advertiser spot) in the current AND PAST podcasts. I'm using this not for advertisers, but for a non-profit (my church). Instead of having advertising spots rotate in and out, we use it for our calendar, and prayer concerns (items that chance from week to week). This way people are up to date with the latest news (no matter what episode they listen to). In reality your podcast can be evergreen. The information can be updated in past shows. The good news is its free to use. Take some time to think about it and how you want your podcast to go from section to section. I love it. Oh yeah. IT's FREE. The “bad” news is it doesn't work with Libsyn (it does with the more expensive Libsyn Pro). So I looked at some different web hosts that had unlimited bandwidth (like Midphase.com ) and ended up with Dreamhost.com (as they increase your storage and bandwidth the longer you stay on their system). I will keep you in the loop as we move forward.

Welcome to the first edition of the Barbecue Secrets podcast, a show celebrating the many pleasures of outdoor cooking. In this edition: The time for a barbecue podcast is NOW: The Barbecue Secrets manifesto. Nanook of the pork: the joys of winter grilling Our first listener question: to close the grill, or not? Barbecue Secret of the week: turn it down! And a great winter grilling recipe: Pork and Apple Kebabs Show notes: Guest interview: Ross Mikkelsen, owner of Barbecues Galore in Canada. For information about products and locations visit www.barbecuesgalore.ca. Listener question: Shel Holtz, co-host of For Immediate Release, a twice-weekly podcast about communication and technology - www.forimmediaterelease.biz. This week's recipe: Pork and Apple Kebabs (from Barbecue Secrets, Whitecap Books) Serves 8 as an appetizer or 4 to 6 as a main course. This is a great winter grilling dish. Use the tangiest, firmest apples you can find. (I like Granny Smiths.) Serve as an appetizer, or with grill-roasted winter vegetables and mashed potatoes as a main course. To marinate the pork: 2 lb. (1 kg) boneless pork loin, cut into bite-sized chunks 1 tsp. granulated onion (or onion powder) 1 clove garlic, forced through a garlic press 1 tbsp. fresh rosemary 1 tsp. dried rosemary 1/2 tsp. allspice 1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg pinch cayenne pinch clove 1/4 cup cider vinegar For the kebabs: 6 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized chunks Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Extra-virgin olive oil Combine marinade ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and add pork, mixing thoroughly. Marinate for about an hour at room temperature or two or three hours in the fridge. Prepare grill for medium direct heat. Thread pork on skewers, alternating with chunks of apple. (Use eight long metal skewers or 12 pre-soaked bamboo skewers.) Oil cooking grate and grill kebabs for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until pork is just done. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little oil.
