Customer Reviews
Always informative
I have to be careful when I listen to Neville and Shel - sometimes I'm so busy writing down notes from the show, I can't get any work done. Always informative. Thanks!
Must listen for anyone business interested in new tech and social media
For Christmas 2005 I was given my first iPod and soon after I discovered the world of podcasts. For Immediate Release was one of the first I loaded and I've been a loyal listener ever since. This is a must listen for any one in business interested in new technology and social media. I look forward to new episodes every Monday and Thursday. Neville and Shel set the standard for all podcasters and serve as an inspiration for our new podcast Messing About In Ships.
Communication experts
As a communications manager for an engineering firm, I depend on FIR to keep me in tune with the latest issues and developments in communication practices and technology. I enjoy Neville and Shel's conversational approach to podcasting and revel in some of their special guests, especially Lee Hopkins. These guys have been around and have been breaking ground for years. They keep doing it, week after week of quality material.
