BlogTalkRadio - The Digital Podium

November 13, 2007

BlogTalkRadio is quickly becoming a hotspot for publishers and authors to get information about books and other printed works to interested parties. But don’t take my word for it, ask Joe Wikert.

Podium BlogTalkRadio CEO Alan Levy did an interview with Joe Wikert that was posted to Joe Wikert’s Publishing 2020 Blog: A Book Publisher’s Future Visions of Print, Online, Video and All Media Formats Not Yet Invented.

Alan and Joe explore the uses of BlogTalkRadio as a medium for publishers and authors in Joe’s aptly titled post “BlogTalkRadio Interview with Alan Levy.” Here, we call it the Digital Podium. I invite you to take a second to read Joe’s informative post.

A downloadable PDF of The Digital Podium is available for more information.

Shirley MacLaine Joins Dr. Blogstein on BlogTalkRadio

November 13, 2007

You know her. Now hear her. LIVE today on BlogTalkRadio, Shirley MacLaine stops by The Radio Happy Hour.

MacLaine Academy Award winning Hollywood legend Shirley MacLaine joins Dr. Blogstein at 9pm ET for a chat about, among other things, her latest book “Sage-ing While Age-ing.” It’s classic MacLaine, running the gamut from UFOs and aliens to alternative medicines and reincarnation.

If you don’t know Ms. MacLaine, she writes this in her site’s About Me page:

I think we all choose the paths of our lives. I knew I wanted to be a “communicator” from the very beginning. So I communicated through fifty films, many TV and stage shows and ten books. For me the search for Truth is paramount… The truth of a character I’m playing, the truth of the subject matter I write about or the truth of why we are alive and how it relates to our destiny.

I see life as a creation each of us paints for ourselves. We do create our own reality in order to be aligned with our destiny.

Join her LIVE at 9pm ET for an evening of fun and frivolity. Plus, as the good Doctor says, you’ll instantly look cooler among your friends.
