Tech PR War Stories David Strom and I got together at the recent New Communications Forum in Las Vegas to catch up on things. We've both been around the tech media business for a very long time, and while we've never worked for the same company at the same time, we've got plenty of mutual friends and experiences.

David came up with the idea of creating a podcast for the public relations community that would communicate what we've learned about the best and worst of PR. Both he and I have been on many panels in front of PR professionals, talking about how to work with the media. The appetite for this kind of information seems to be insatiable, and a podcast is a quick and easy way to capture some of our experiences.

So this week we recorded the first episode of Tech PR War Stories. Each week, we'll get together and talk about some aspect of technology media, whether it's news, tips, advice, rants or reminiscences.

We're really going to try to update this one every week, which sounds like an impossible dream to me. However, David has been publishing his Web Informant newsletter every week for many years, so I guess where there's a will, there's a way.

Please listen to the inaugural program (it's only 14 minutes) and let me know what you think. If you have iTunes, you can find it here. This is a work in progress and we want to make sure the programs meet your needs. We're pretty much open to anything!  ¶ 3:51 PM
