A little more about the digital series Tom's doing
Added 2015-06-07 20:20:43 +0000 UTCSo in case you missed it, I'll be off DTNS this Tuesday-Friday. We have a great crew filling in.
Tuesday: Patrick Beja and Iyaz Akhtar
Wednesday: Scott Johnson and Brian Ibbott
Thursday: Allison Sheridan (and guest TBD)
Friday: Darren Kitchen with Jennie, Roger and Len
THANK YOU for making this possible to revolve the lineup and not miss a beat. You are the best audience in the world and you've helped build something here that is beyond my expectation or comprehension. I cannot thank you enough.
A little more about this thing Tom's doing
It's an 11-part series of 3-minute episodes. The name isn't fully decided yet but it focuses on describing new tech fields. Natural Language Processing, Connected Urban Planning, Smart Cars etc. Big ideas.
The series is sponsored but with a couple differences to other sponsored content I do/have done:
1. There's no network. Just sponsor, production company, and distribution platform(s).
2. There's no endorsement by me. I have that in writing. I am contracted by the production company, not the sponsor.
Is this a horrible mistake? A great idea to get wider exposure for me and the show? A perfectly neutral if different way of doing things?
That's what I'm about to see. I'm trying this out to see how it works.
I seriously value your support and so am very interested in your thoughts on this. Obviously we'll have to wait to see it when it's released (as will I) to really know what we think but any questions you have ask them and I'll tell you what I know.
Thanks for being the kind of audience that cares and understands.
You all rock.
Tom

2015-06-14 15:15:15 +0000 UTCI don't see the Patronage / Advertising as an either or. Doing both would be fine by me, if the Advertising was limited to 1 sponsor mention and 1 ad spot. And if the product being advertised was something used by at least one DTNS production person.
