I had the great opportunity to talk with Pamela Muldoon, host of Next Stage Business Radio. Our own Social Media Breakfast (SMBMSP) was highlighted as the organization of the week and I got to share some insights about our organization on Saturday, January 23rd, 2010.
Next Stage Business Radio brings “local and national experts, business owners, and thought leaders for tips, techniques and resources on starting, building and maintaining a successful small business” every week.
Saturday night I was listening to social media guru & fellow Social Media Breakfast conversationalist @Albert Maruggi of Provident Partners being interviewed on WCCO radio here in Minneapolis. What really struck me was the way in which the host of the show totally spun every point that was brought up. Instead of a real discussion of what is happening in the social media space, she choose to simply believe her pre-conceived notions of the Internet as a “dangerous” place.
Now I agree that everyone is welcome to believe what they want, but to not let an honest discussion develop seems deceiving to me. Whether you believe in the hype or not isn’t the point, rather the inability to have an honest discussion about something on an old-media platform in a public space. Personally I think that fellow Twitter @MNHeadHunter hit the nail on the head in this tweet.

Personally, this is one of the examples that worries me about so many people relying on old media for all their political news. If we can’t have an honest discussion of the facts on the platform about something like social media, how can I trust them about my political choices from any party? Disappointing to say the least.
Oh yeah, Albert was great on talking about facts, concepts, and directions – well done Albert!
Did anyone else catch the broadcast last Saturday? What did you think of the interview?
