If you missed yesterday’s Twebinar with Brad Dancer from the National Geographic Channel, you’ll want to download the podcast to listen to later.
Brad shared some great insights with us about how the NatGeo Channel is embracing the consumer-generated media revolution,why social media and their community are important to them, and his take on the future of broadcast media in general.
I only wish we’d had another hour with Brad (maybe sometime soon) because it’s so obvious that he’s passionate about what he does – he’s been with the channel since it launched – and he has a level-headed but enthusiastic viewpoint about the impact of social media on the traditional media world.
So take a listen while you’re working today. It’s well worth the 45 minutes or so. And we’d love to hear your thoughts and insights on the topic, too.
Stay tuned for details on our next Twebinar with GE on August 5th, detailing their TweetSquad team and how they’re using Twitter to get the word out about GE innovations. More to come!

Thanks for the share, Amber. I’ll check it out. It’ll be interesting to see how effective their use of social will be.

Brad is indeed an interesting & thoughtful guy — thoughtful enough to engage me in a little give & take about how the National Geographic Channel needs to rethink the way it engages its “community.” http://tr.im/u3H3 (Thanks again, Brad.)
