Since we are technology neanderthals, we don’t have opinions about which brand should rule the galaxy.  But we realize that some people have their favorites and we certainly don’t want to discriminate.  Well, maybe we do a little bit.  Let us explain.

Here’s the deal:  You can use whatever podcast player (if that’s the right term) that you want.  All you need to do is log in to the Member web page and click on Show Me the Content.  Then you can download the content and play with it any way you want (subject to our terms of use).  But before you run off…

There’s something we want you to know (and do) in YOUR ENLIGHTENED SELF-INTEREST.

iTunes ranks podcasts by their popularity.  Popularity is measured by the number of downloads and favorable reviews from listeners (do you see where this is going?).  When shows are highly rated, they get more prominent placement – sometimes even being featured.

In addition to being able to strut around our office with our big foam fingers proclaiming, “We’re #1!” (which we like to do), having a high ranking is REALLY helpful when requesting interviews with all the amazing guests that we’re sure YOU want to hear from.

So to help us do a better job for YOU (after all, it’s all about you),  PLEASE:

1) Subscribe to the free iTunes podcasts (even though they’re already included in your Member feed); and

2) Submit favorable reviews to iTunes for any shows that you particularly like  – if you think one stinks, don’t tell anyone.  Just slip us a note on our Feedback page and we’ll see what we can do to improve.

In exchange for your support (and your modest membership fee) we will get up early every day and work hard on delivering practical, fun, and relevant news, information and commentary – including interviews with both popular and little known but super smart subject matter experts.

Deal?  Thanks!

Robert and Russ

P.S.  If you REALLY want to help, please be sure to tell ALL your friends to get on board too!
