La Tertulia de los Lunes con Martín Bueno, Casilda Echevarría, Miguel Fernández Galeano y Teresa Herrera. *** El canciller Mario Lubetkin informó el viernes que el gobierno gestiona la llegada a Uruguay de un pequeño grupo de jóvenes palestinos provenientes de Cisjordania para formarse aquí en agricultura sostenible. Según dijo Lubetkin en diálogo con Subrayado, esta posibilidad se concretaría a través de un programa de cooperación financiado por Dinamarca e implementado por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación (FAO), que tiene como objetivo capacitar a jóvenes palestinos en el desarrollo de startups relacionadas con la agricultura sostenible, un sector clave para la región. “Hemos estudiado una cantidad de proyectos que tiene Naciones Unidas en la zona de Cisjordania, porque hoy Gaza está totalmente paralizada. Hay un proyecto que lo financian las autoridades danesas y lo ejecuta la FAO en relación a la formación de muchachos en el área agrícola para la creación de microempresas. A nosotros nos pareció una idea estupenda. A nosotros nos da las garantías plenas y de seguridad para poder traer algunos muchachos, cuatro o cinco, no sé, veremos. Por ahora a lo que llegamos es a hacer un acuerdo de sumarnos a un esfuerzo de otros”. Lubetkin justificó la medida como una forma de complementar con soluciones de largo plazo la ayuda humanitaria inmediata, a la que Uruguay planea sumarse, según dijo la semana pasada el presidente Yamandú Orsi. El Canciller enfatizó que la situación en Gaza es dramática, pero también destacó la gravedad de la crisis que vive la población de Cisjordania. ¿Cómo evalúan los tertulianos esta posibilidad? ¿Qué señal da el gobierno con esta iniciativa?

La Tertulia de los Jueves con Gabriel Mazzarovich, Eleonora Navatta, Gloria Robaina y Daniel Supervielle. *** Ante la escalada del conflicto en la Franja de Gaza, varios sectores del Frente Amplio (FA) endurecieron en estos días sus discursos contra el accionar del gobierno de Israel y plantearon reclamos al gobierno de Yamandú Orsi. Sectores como el Partido Comunista afirmaron que las Fuerzas Armadas de Israel están “cometiendo delitos de lesa humanidad” y “un genocidio de la población palestina”. En medio de estas denuncias, se cuela una crítica a la administración Orsi por el “tono” y el “contenido” de los comunicados oficiales emitidos por este tema. En una declaración aprobada el pasado martes, el Secretariado Ejecutivo del FA llamó a la militancia y “al pueblo en general” a “promover y convocar acciones en defensa de los derechos humanos del pueblo palestino y a su legítimo derecho a existir”. El texto convocó, además, a “condenar los crímenes de lesa humanidad y genocidio” que, se afirmó, “está cometiendo contra Palestina el gobierno de Israel” cuyas acciones, se asegura, amenazan también “a los rehenes que se pretende liberar”. Dirigentes del Partido Nacional y el Comité Ejecutivo del Partido Colorado cuestionaron la declaración del FA. “Es bravo ser judío en el Uruguay con un gobierno del Frente cuando te tratan de genocida por defender a los inocentes secuestrados”, planteó el senador nacionalista Sebastián Da Silva. Además, el Comité Ejecutivo Nacional colorado reclamó “una postura equilibrada, responsable y verdaderamente humanitaria” y condenó “la incitación al odio bajo la apariencia de solidaridad”. Por su parte, el canciller Mario Lubetkin recibió el martes al encargado de negocios del Estado de Palestina en Uruguay, Mohammed Shafei, al que le expresó la solidaridad del gobierno ante la “grave crisis humanitaria” que se vive en la Franja de Gaza, “fruto de la masacre – dijo-, especialmente contra la población civil”. El uso del término “masacre” cobró fuerza a nivel del gobierno para referirse, sin nombrarla, a la ofensiva que viene desarrollando el Ejército israelí en esa zona del mundo. En una entrevista en Canal 5 Lubetkin se refirió a las discusiones sobre los términos a emplear para referirse a un caso como este. "La pregunta que nos planteamos nosotros es: ¿es una carrera a las definiciones o es una carrera a ayudar para que se resuelva la situación? Para nosotros nos parece perfecto que la fuerza de gobierno Frente Amplio tome un conjunto de decisiones o un conjunto de definiciones. Nosotros somos el gobierno de este país. Alguna vez se ha tomado una frase que la he planteado, que es que una cosa es la fuerza de gobierno y otra cosa es el gobierno de por sí". Lubetkin divulgó en sus redes sociales el encuentro con el representante palestino y aludió también a la “dramática situación” que se vive en Cisjordania, y dijo haber coincidido con el diplomático en que es necesario “el cese al fuego inmediato y una solución permanente”. Por otra parte, el canciller afirmó que “la existencia de dos estados es el único camino hacia una paz estable y duradera”. Cabe recordar que la bancada de senadores del Frente Amplio viene de presentar un proyecto de declaración que califica lo que ocurre en Gaza como “grave situación humanitaria”, solicita el “cese de los bombardeos indiscriminados contra la población palestina” y exhorta a “establecer negociaciones de paz”. Sectores como el Partido Comunista, el Socialista, la Vertiente Artiguista y Fuerza Renovadora se expresaron sobre el tema en los últimos días, utilizando la palabra “genocidio” para referirse a las acciones israelíes en la Franja de Gaza. Por otra parte, la Embajada de Israel en Uruguay expresó en un comunicado su“profunda preocupación ante la resolución emitida por el Secretariado Ejecutivo del Frente Amplio que omite la responsabilidad de Hamás en el conflicto en curso, y realiza alarmantes llamados a movilizaciones”.

El nuevo canciller Mario Lubetkin informó que Uruguay ya no reconoce al opositor Edmundo González Urrutia como presidente de Venezuela, un giro con la postura que había adoptado el gobierno de Luis Lacalle Pou. En entrevista con el diario español El Mundo, Lubetkin afirmó que no se reconoce “ni a Maduro ni al presidente que señaló haber triunfado según las actas que mostró por internet”. El jerarca aclaró que esto no significa un cambio en la situación de las relaciones diplomáticas con Venezuela, ya que “las embajadas están casi cerradas”, y agregó: hay un “problema” fundamental para resolver: “¿Qué hacemos con los miles de uruguayos que están en Venezuela? ¿Quién los protege?”, dijo. Preguntado sobre si considera a Nicolás Maduro un dictador, Lubetkin respondió que eso ya quedó establecido por el presidente Orsi: “El planteó efectivamente el concepto de dictadura y que no podemos reconocer una realidad democrática cuando el proceso electoral no estuvo a la altura de las garantías que nos puede dar un Estado democrático”, dijo el canciller. Y agregó: “No lo reconocemos, pero hay que resolver un problema objetivo que tenemos y tenemos que encontrar las fórmulas”. Estas declaraciones provocaron críticas desde la oposición. El senador nacionalista Javier García, por ejemplo, consideró que la decisión “legitima al dictador” y calificó el giro como “el peor comienzo internacional” y un “retroceso democrático”. La Tertulia de los Miércoles con Martín Couto, Pablo Díaz, Teresa Herrera y María Eugenia Roselló.

¿Cómo será la política internacional del gobierno de Yamandú Orsi?  Para conocer los grandes lineamientos, recibimos este lunes al futuro canciller, Mario Lubetkin, en la entrevista central de En Perspectiva. Hasta diciembre, cuando Orsi le ofreció el nombramiento, Lubetkin era el uruguayo con el cargo más alto en un organismo internacional: subdirector de la FAO (la agencia de la ONU para la Agricultura y la Alimentación) y además representante de FAO para América Latina. Sobre el comienzo del reportaje Lubetkin enfatizó que la política internacional está íntimamente relacionada con lo que ocurre dentro del país y definió cuál es el corazón de la gestión que llevará adelante en coordinación con el presidente de la República. "La política internacional tiene valor, en primer lugar, en función de la capacidad de desarrollo nacional. Si nosotros logramos, con la acción internacional, ayudar a el crecimiento económico, ayudar a la mejora de la vida de los ciudadanos, ahí estaremos logrando el corazón de la política internacional. Ahí tenemos puesta nuestra cabeza y nuestro pensamiento. Es el nudo más importante: ayudar al ciudadano en este país a mejorar sus condiciones de vida". ¿Qué apuntes tomaron los tertulianos de la entrevista? ¿Cuáles fueron sus conclusicones después de escuchar a Lubetkin? La Tertulia de los Jueves con Martín Bueno, Gabriel Mazzarovich, Ana Laura Pérez y Daniel Supervielle.

El mundo se está reacomodando a enorme velocidad. Todos los días hay novedades internacionales fuertes. Da la impresión de que estamos en un momento de transición hacia un planeta diferente. En medio de ese giro, Uruguay cambia de gobierno. Los movimientos bruscos de Donald Trump en sus 30 días de presidencia en Estados Unidos (EEUU), Europa que luce descolocada y empieza a mirar por fuera de sus aliados tradicionales, los guiños de China y la entrada de India a los primeros planos. Los aranceles usados como amenazas a diestra y siniestra, la competencia tecnológica cada vez más crispada, y lo mismo con la carrera por las materias primas que sustentan esa tecnología. En nuestra región, la Argentina de Milei se embandera con EEUU y el Brasil de Lula busca pararse como referente global, mientras países varios del continente no consiguen la estabilidad. Este punteo es apenas una aproximación. En ese marco, Yamandú Orsi designó como su canciller a Mario Lubetkin, un nombre que pocos tenían en el radar pero que era el uruguayo con el cargo más alto en un organismo internacional: subdirector de la FAO (la agencia de la ONU para la Agricultura y la Alimentación) y además director regional de FAO para América Latina. ¿Cómo se está preparando para este cambio? ¿Qué líneas fuerza va a seguir su gestión en un mundo tan convulsionado? Conversamos En Perspectiva con Mario Lubetkin.

En la presentación el gabinete que acompañará al presidente electo Yamandú Orsi en el inicio de su gestión, que se realizó ayer, algunos nombres sorprendieron porque no figuraban en las versiones y especulaciones que circularon desde el balotaje y recién empezaron a sonar a fines de la semana pasada. Por ejemplo, el ministro del Interior designado es el Dr. Carlos Negro, que se desempeñaba hasta hace unas horas como fiscal de Homicidios y es muy cercano al futuro prosecretario de Presidencia, Jorge Díaz. En sus primeras declaraciones a la prensa en su nuevo rol, Negro prometió que en su gestión habrá un respaldo nítido a la Policía. "Entendemos que una parte de estar ocupando este lugar, es el buen relacionamiento que tenemos con la policía en general y toda la trayectoria de la fiscalía, y de mis fiscalías en contacto con la policía. Se ha generado un circuito de confianza que ha posibilitado que accedamos a este cargo". Otro nombre que no fue mencionado en las listas que se echaron a rodar es el del periodista Mario Lubetkin, que será el ministro de Relaciones Exteriores. Lubetkin se desempeñaba últimamente como subdirector general y director regional para América Latina y el Caribe de la FAO (Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura). "Yo creo también ha llegado el momento después de tantos años afuera, de dar una mano con todo lo que es mi experiencia, mi conocimiento de todos estos años, que pienso que puedo dar un aporte de mi lado, y lo voy a dar de todas las formas". ¿Qué dicen los tertulianos de estos y otros nombres que les hayan llamado la atención en el gabinete del presidente electo? La Tertulia de los Martes con Leonardo Costa, Bruno Gili, Eleonora Navatta y Daniel Supervielle.

Jorge Vaquero - Director del instituto Lubetkin

On this week's Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, catches up with an old friend who was in Louisville nearly a year ago facilitating a listening session at the Community Boathouse about developing an Ohio River Restoration Plan. Jordan Lubetkin is the Director of Ohio River Restoration for the National Wildlife Federation (https://www.nwf.org/ohioriver) and the Communications Director for the Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition (https://www.healthylakes.org/). Over the past year, Jordan has been criss-crossing the region conducting community listening sessions throughout the Ohio River watershed to discuss clean water priorities for a new plan to protect and restore the waters in the 14-state Ohio River region. The Ohio River Basin Alliance and National Wildlife Federation, cohosted these listening sessions to take advantage of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to craft a regional plan to restore and protect the waters of the Ohio River basin. The plan, once complete, will be delivered to Congress and the Biden Administration. The goal is for the federal government to implement the plan with new annual investments to address long-standing problems, such as sewage contamination, toxic pollution, inadequate water infrastructure, mine waste, run-off, flooding, and habitat loss. Every year the federal government invests in programs to protect and restore our nation's great waters – including the Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, Gulf Coast, and Great Lakes. We want to add the waters of the Ohio River basin to that list and to make sure that local clean water concerns are addressed and local solutions are prioritized in the clean water plan. In August, the report will finally be released and in late summer/early fall, there'll be opportunities for community engagement around the draft plan. A one-day river restoration tour with a Kentucky Legislative Delegation (Guthrie, McGarvey & Massie) is also being planned for August. One of the key local partners in this process has been the Kentucky Waterways Alliance, which will be hosting a 30th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, August 18th, starting at 6pm at Waterfront Botanical Gardens. Everyone is encouraged to join us in celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Kentucky Waterways Alliance with an unforgettable evening of music, film, food, and art! The celebration will include: •    A special performance by Louisville's own Joan Shelley. Joan, longtime friend of KWA, has assembled a honkytonk band to back her, as well as a series of guest vocalists. •    Following Joan's performance, we will transport you into the captivating world of environmental storytelling through our 15th annual Wild and Scenic Film Festival. This renowned festival showcases an array of short films that highlight the beauty of our planet's wild and scenic places, as well as the urgent need to protect them. •    In between - or during! - these aspects of the evening, you will be able to visit with Al Gorman, renowned artist who creates art from objects found in the Ohio River. •    Enjoy food from our sponsor Wiltshire Pantry, and West Sixth Brewing will be selling beer. Get your tickets now and come together with fellow supporters of the KWA as we honor three decades of conservation and advocacy. Let's raise our voices and toast to a brighter future for our precious waterways! Kentucky is water. Water is commonwealth.

¿Sabían que en América Latina el problema del hambre se ha agravado, pese a que esta es una de las principales regiones de producción de alimentos en el mundo? La situación empeoró después de la pandemia, que provocó un shock económico en todo el continente. A eso se le han sumado otros factores, como la inflación alta a raíz de la guerra en Ucrania y los eventos climáticos extremos más frecuentes. El tema está en la agenda de varios gobiernos de la región y también de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO). De hecho, el director regional de la FAO para América Latina y el Caribe, Mario Lubetkin, viene manteniendo reuniones de alto nivel en varios países buscando acuerdos de coordinación para atacar este problema. Lubetkin, que es uruguayo y asumió en octubre del año pasado en el cargo, está en estos días en Montevideo, para reunirse con autoridades de gobierno y legisladores y explorar oportunidades de cooperación en temas alimientarios. Su escala anterior fue Brasil, donde participó en el lanzamiento de un proyecto binacional Uruguay-Brasil para mejorar la gestión de la cuenca de la Laguna Merín, una fuente de agua dulce estratégica para la FAO. Conversamos En Perspectiva con Mario Lubetkin.

Discover what's possible when art is in the eye of the beholder… and a few other senses.  Austin Lubetkin is an Autistic artist, aerospace-software engineer, and inventor. Austin has synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon in which stimuli that would typically stimulate one sense can activate other senses at the same time. This has allowed him to create unique and accessible art experiences, some even meant to make people touch and hear colors. He uses his art to spread awareness of various mental conditions.  Austin has already earned a patent as a software engineer, and has filed another patent for one of the first human brain computer interfaces that would allow a fully paralyzed individual to type and control a computer.  In today's conversation, we discuss:  How Austin's synesthesia influences his art His series about mental health The future of art and Machine Learning Some of Austin's inventions, including a sensory overload simulator Accessible technology Misconceptions about autism that he wants to break through his art Advice for other autistic artists  To learn more about Austin Lubetkin and his work, please his IG @bocaaust.  ----more---- We appreciate your time.

Luego de casi dos años de crisis económica provocada por la pandemia de covid-19 la cantidad de personas que pasan hambre en el mundo creció de 800 millones a 900 millones. Y el panorama hacia adelante no es alentador, ya que la invasión de Rusia a Ucrania está provocando el encarecimiento de los alimentos a nivel global. Ante este agravamiento de la inseguridad alimentaria, la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura, la FAO, llama a los países a mantener abierto el comercio mundial y a diversificar los proveedores de alimentos e insumos agropecuarios. El tema estuvo presente hace dos semanas en la 37ª Conferencia regional de la FAO para América Latina y el Caribe que se celebró en Ecuador. Allí además los países expusieron sobre los planes en innovación agropecuaria que están implementando para que la región para transformar sus sistemas alimentarios, para que sean más eficientes, inclusivos, resilientes y sostenibles”. Hoy En Perspectiva conversamos con el uruguayo Mario Lubetkin, subdirector general de la FAO.

¿Es posible que el mundo revise enteramente la forma en la que produce sus alimentos, los distribuye e incluso la manera en que maneja los desperdicios? La Organización de las Naciones Unidas organizar para setiembre de este año en Nueva York una cumbre que estará dedicada exclusivamente a revisar los sistemas alimentarios mundiales. El objetivo es proponer un abanico de "soluciones" frente al aumento del hambre en el mundo, que se viene dando en los últimos cinco años pero se agravó aún más por la pandemia de Covid-19. Para preparar ese encuentro esta semana tuvo lugar una precumbre que finalizó ayer en Roma, sede de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura, la FAO. En esta instancia, donde participó por ejemplo la vicepresidente Beatriz Argimón, cada país esbozó sus planes para contribuir a un cambio en el sistema alimentario mundial. Pero además, pre cumbre sirvió para que los países de la región, incluidos Uruguay, salieran en defensa de la alimentación con productos de origen animal, y de actividades agropecuarias como la ganadería, que ha sido puesta en el banquillo de los acusados por el peso que tendrían sus emisiones de metano en cuanto al calentamiento global y el cambio climático. Hoy En Perspectiva conversamos con Mario Lubetkin, uruguayo, subdirector general de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación, FAO.

Sistemas de salud colapsados o en riesgo de colapso, economías en crisis, empresas complicadas, despidos y envíos al seguro de paro…Los impactos de la pandemia de Covid-19 en la salud y en la economía dominaron la agenda este año. Pero la propagación del coronavirus también tiene consecuencias en otros planos de la vida humana, de los que se habla bastante menos. Por ejemplo, la alimentación. Esta emergencia sanitaria, que nació hace un año, ha provocado dificultades para la distribución y el acceso de alimentos de calidad en varias partes del mundo. Esto ha agravado el problema del hambre en el planeta, un asunto que sigue sin solución. En 2019 pasaron hambre casi 690 millones de personas, es decir, casi una de cada diez personas en el mundo. Ahora esa situación es peor. Según datos de la FAO (Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura), la pandemia llevaría a otros 130 millones de personas a sufrir de hambre crónica para finales de este 2020. En respuesta, la FAO lanzó este año un Programa integral de respuesta y recuperación del covid-19. ¿De qué se trata este plan? ¿Qué soluciones tiene? Lo conversamos esta mañana En Perspectiva con Mario Lubetkin, subdirector de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación.

Media relations has been a mainstay of the PR industry for decades, but that's changing, especially as newsrooms shrink. Companies large and small are now telling their own stories, publishing them on SEO-enhanced online news hubs, and getting bottom-line results. Brand journalism (also known as content marketing) is dramatically changing how we practice PR. Skillfully written news reports that resonate with customers and humanize a company's message are the new PR frontier. In this episode of the Lubetkin on Communications podcast, we present a panel program from the Public Relations Society of America's New Jersey Chapter, held October 19, 2017 in Rahway, NJ.

In 1976, Robbie Benson and Glynnis O'Connor starred in a movie version of the Bobbie Gentry folk classic, "Ode to Billy Joe." At the time of the movie's release, I was a student DJ at WMCX-FM at Monmouth University. I was also the "production engineer" for some basement tape recordings my dad made with a musical colleague from Fort Monmouth, NJ who happened to be Bobbie Gentry's brother. After one visit with his sister during which he shared the music tapes he and my dad recorded, he returned with a complete set of Bobbie Gentry albums for me. Needless to say, I became very familiar with her music, and when I saw the movie, I was quite surprised by all the hidden references to her other songs in the movie. None of that got very much attention at the time, so I decided to do a radio show special focusing on the hidden references. That show aired August 26, 1976 and is shared here for the first time in podcast form.  

Steve was a guest August 29, 2017 on "In the Green Room," a radio talk show on Internet radio station PANJRadio.com, based in Lambertville, NJ. He talked about his career in radio and print journalism, and discussed the book, The Business of Podcasting: How to Take Your Podcasting Passion from the Personal to the Professional.

Matthew Dolly, Research Director, Transwestern PARSIPPANY, NJ—Members of Generation X, those born from 1965 to 1980, “the neglected middle child” in offices that also contain Baby Boomers and Millennials, are more like their Boomer predecessors than the younger Millennials, a recent Transwestern report discovered. The development, real estate investment management and research firm explored the generational preferences of office employees in a recent survey of its own workers organized by New Jersey research director Matthew Dolly. “I came up with the idea last summer,” Dolly tells GlobeSt.com exclusively. “You're always reading about Millennials, you have the Baby Boomers, who for the most part built up the office market. But you never read about Gen X, because they were a smaller generation and they were only the largest part of the workforce for a few years.” Gen Xers are between 35 and 50, and in the next 20 years will be 55-70, Dolly says. “We're going to be the executives, we're going to make the decisions, so right now we have to work with the Baby Boomers and with the Millennials, their children behind them,” he says, noting that he falls squarely in the middle of the Gen X demographic. The research and commentary, titled “The Gen X Factor: Stuck in the Middle or Best of Both Worlds?” compares the responses of 273 Transwestern team members classified as Baby Boomers (born 1946 – 1964), Gen Xers (born 1965 – 1980) and Millennials (born 1980 – 1998). Many developers have skipped from what Baby Boomers wanted and expected in office arrangements directly to what Millennials want, such as urban live-work-play locations, Dolly says. But Gen Xers enjoy a mix of office designs and locations, his research shows. “They did like the option of a private workspace and abundant light, not as many used mass transit as the millennials, but Gen Xers and Baby Boomers prefer the suburbs,” he says. Gen Xers like flexible work hours with some structure, he adds. In nearly all cases, the responses of Gen Xers fall somewhere between Baby Boomers and Millennials, highlighting the unique blend of views this generation possesses – a mix of seasoned experience and savvy thinking that was the fortuitous byproduct of being sandwiched between two large generations. “Although Millennials are now the largest segment of the US labor force, companies that value workforce diversity benefit from a broader range of ideas and experiences,” says Dolly. “At the same time, while it is easy to create divisions between age groups, we found that there are just as many commonalities as differences between these three influential generations.” You can hear a podcast of GlobeSt.com's conversation with Matt Dolly in the player below. Some of the survey's findings include the following: Flexibility is highly valued by all generations, with only 11 percent of total respondents favoring mandatory “9 to 5” hours in the workplace. Across all groups, flex hours – characterized by an alternative, yet defined schedule – is preferred over no set hours, with Generation X voicing the strongest preference for this type of flexibility. All generations agree that there is a high correlation between work environment and productivity. When it comes to the amenities that contribute to a comfortable environment, privacy and abundant light ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, for every group of respondents. Open offices, or “hoteling,” was viewed most favorably by Millennials, while private offices received the most votes from Baby Boomers. However, in total and by generation, respondents overwhelmingly prefer a mix of private and open office space. The preference for downtown living more than tripled between Baby Boomers and Millennials, at 19 percent and 64 percent, respectively. The importance of social media to professional life is inversely related to age: only 4 percent of Baby Boomers feel that social media is very important, compared to 7 percent of Gen Xers and 20 percent of Millennials. Of the Generation X respondents, 56 percent reported that they identify more strongly with Baby Boomers, and 44 percent reported that they identify more strongly with Millennials. This gives Gen Xers, as a whole, a broad perspective of the wants and needs of today's workforce. “Because of their age and experience, Gen Xers are often a natural fit for leadership positions,” Dolly said. “This group is equipped to bring proven skills and thoughtful creativity that enables all generations to make valuable contributions and positions the organization to excel.”

Editor's Note: The audio podcast is now available How often do you want to share with friends what you just heard in an audio news story or podcast? Would you want to send them a short snippet of the audio and a link where they could hear more? Now, you can do just that with a recently introduced app called Clammr (clammr.com). There is an iPhone app ready and you can sign up to be notified when the Android app launches. The concept is the brainchild of Parviz Parvizi and his partner David Silverman. “We created Clammr as a process of bridging audio into social media,” Parvizi said in an interview. “One of the things that we observed is that social media is now where people find things to consume, it is the primary driver of traffic to websites, but audio really isn't present on social media.” One reason for that is that audio podcasts are usually 20 minutes in length, and are “hard to penetrate,” Parvizi says. “If you actually shrink the unit size down, that makes it more appropriate for consumption and engagement on social media,” he says. Parvizi and his Clammr co-founder David Silverman got the idea because both of them discovered they were auditory learners when they met in law school. “We were in the same small group, and we figured out pretty quickly that we were among the slowest readers in the history of our law school,” Parvizi recalled. “We bonded very quickly over that.” The pair began exchanging audio clips through shared folders, or text messages containing timestamps for particular audio excerpts. It was Silverman, Parvizi says, who came up with the idea of being able to “tweet audio.” You can record a Clammr from either the website or from the smartphone app. It can't be longer than 24 seconds. When you share it via social media, the sound clip will have a link back to the original source, so if you send out a clip from a longer podcast, your followers can go back to the full program to listen. You can look up podcasts in the Apple iTunes Store, and select portions of a program to convert into a Clammr. The Clammr app and website include a browser-based audio editor that can be manipulated with finger swipes on the phone to create the short clip. “I think it's very human to want to share with the community and get feedback from that community,” says Parvizi, noting that in the 200,000 years that modern humans have been around, only about five percent of that time has included the use of written text. “In a lot of ways, we're wired to speak and listen and do goofy things visually. The ability to record a Clammr live from a smartphone also offers an additional way for citizen journalists to deliver live reports from the scene of an event. It's a bit of a challenge to hold your commentary under 24 seconds, but it can be done. The app lets you listen to Clammrs from people you follow as an unending stream, and it's actually an interesting way of catching up quickly. I listened to the NPR stream of Clammrs, and it almost seemed like it was just a shorter version of the Morning Edition Show that was just reporting the headlines. I've used Clammr to create short teasers for news stories I'm reporting on the commercial real estate news website GlobeSt.com, and picked up about 30 listeners for each short audio program. You can hear my efforts at http://www.clammr.com/app/podcaststeve. With a bit of perseverance, it could be a great way for podcasters, journalists, and other content creators to promote their products. What kinds of audio would you share with your friends?
