Real Estate Radio USA done right
I've often stated that video, even audio podcasts, for real estate are best produced by experts or professionals. Well, I've discovered "drive time" internet Real Estate Radio USA in the incarnation of Barry Johnson and Barry Cunningham. Produced with a one-minute intro on par with the gawdiest AM talk show, it's the living example of the Web 2.0 trend towards micro-programming, like NPR's Car Talk.
I was on last Friday and liken the experience to being on traditional radio or TV interview. These guys understand radio programming - how to engage the guests and the listeners - an art that's difficult for any real estate agent podcasting. They are becoming the microphone of the real estate blogosphere because they're well read and know the personalities we all know, and are immediately ensconced in this family. The radio show format is easy to listen to... check out the broadcast here.
I happened to be tagged (a rare occurrence) by Mark Pilatowski in the reincarnated meme game about seven personal factoids... well 1) my first "career" out of college was in radio. As a 2) physics major at UC Berkeley, 3) I would sometimes go through a whole day without conversing with anybody (I was quiet). 4) I was a college jazz musician, and applied for a summer job at 5) KJAZ, a local jazz radio station. Two months later, the station went on strike to become unionized, and the owners let me stay on and suddenly asked me if I wanted to sell radio time. Never thinking of myself as a businessman until then, 6) I discovered I actually could communicate with people as long as I had a context (sales) for the conversation. And got pretty good at it, so I 7) left physics in the dust and applied for B-school.
Thanks for the comment Pat.
Actually it's our guests who make the job easy. When you speak to people who know what they are talking about and have tremendous value for our listeners, then it makes our job easy.
You provide information on your blog and in person, that can only serve to improve the industry.
Kudos!
