Interesting. The email doesn't actually tell you what to do, but just promotes a podcast that tells you what to do. A whole podcast to say... "Forget it and move on."
You've got to love VO marketing experts. The only thing they ever market is themselves. There's even a plea for you to re-tweet. How precious. _________________ Bish a.k.a. Bish

I guess I’m really old school, but I’d much rather read a story or an opinion than watch/listen to some prerecorded (and often padded with info I don’t care about) version. I learned how to read quickly and seek just the nuggets I need a long time ago.
I know some of today’s adults don’t have the “patience” to read, or just never learned how to do so critically, but saddling the rest of us with the obligation of wading through a performance just to get a distilled bit of wisdom or information is abusive of our time.
I applaud those presenters who are kind and smart enough to give us both delivery systems in a post or news item. If I gather your recording will be especially enlightening then I’ll be glad to take it in.
Older, elitist rant over and out.

reading --- yes, that.
also - one of the best things i retained from my stint in the corporate world is this:

So much more efficient and so much less mind-numbing. It's not an "old guy thing" to prefer density over extremely low signal:noise ratios. It's an intelligence and capability thing. _________________ Jack Daniel
