Brad Richard: Author, Speaker, Podcaster
 Brad Richard |
We’re almost a year into the podcasting phenomenon, and the success of the medium has been more than most people had predicted. Later on this month, we’ll produce a year-in-review podcast that will sum up our thoughts on 2005 and give a preview of what we hope to accomplish in 2006.
In the meantime, though, we’d like to introduce Brad Richard, a motivational speaker and author who has turned to this new medium to reach new audiences. Brad is producing a talk show through Odeo, one of the many podcast sites out there. He’s aiming to produce a weekly program to help people move ahead with their lives by confronting their fears.
In the weeks to come, Brad will be using the CPN studio to produce an installment or two for us. We’re excited to be working with him in the future, and hope to be speaking with you about podcasting in the coming year.

Santa Claus visits the Wake-Up Call this Saturday
Not only are we lucky enough to have winter in December this year. We also have an appearance this Sunday morning by one of the world’s richest men. Yes, Virginia, Santa Claus will be on WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call this week at 11:00 A.M. As always, we’ll provide a podcast of the show should you miss it, but the only way to give your daughter or son a chance to talk to the big man is to call the show. Rick Moore tells me that Santa’s people say 11:20 is the time Santa will be calling, so make sure you’re listening!

The Many Faces of Jane Eyre
 |
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the death of Charlotte Bronte, the author who gave millions of school children something to read with the publication of Jane Eyre. The novel is one of the most common in the English language, and the Rare Book School is honoring Bronte with a look at the ubiquitous nature of this classic in a special exhibit in the Rotunda called Eyre Apparent, which features a look at the depth at which the novel has penetrated pop culture, and to show that there’s much more to a book than its text.
Barbara Heritage is curator of collections at the Rare Book School. I met her recently at Alderman Library while she was putting the exhibit together and asked her to describe a shelf containing much in the way of Eyre paraphrenalia.

Thanksgiving Story from Doctor Greg Gelburd
One thing we could perhaps all be mindful of this Thanksgiving is the work of the many doctors, nurses and other public servants who respond to the country’s disasters. Doctor Greg Gelburd was part of the Starlight Express bus company’s trip to the Gulf Coast for its Katrina relief initiative. I spoke with him yesterday in his practice, and he told me turned to writing to help deal with his emotions upon returning home.
Dr. Gelburd talks at the end of this report about the work of Building Goodness. Please consider donating to this very worthwhile cause.
Are blogs changing business? A VPTC panel discussion
What is a blog, and why should businesses care? On November 17th, the Virginia Piedmont Technology Council convened a panel discussion to explore the issue called ‘Casting for Customers: How Blogs, Podcasting and RSS Feeds are Changing Business Communications. I sat on the panel, along with Waldo Jaquith of cvillenews.com and cvilleblogs.com, Edward Cossette of Explore Learning and Michael Prichard of Willowtree Interactive. Jerry MacLean of PERCC Research moderated the discussion.
Michael has posted a primer on his blog about the event.
Do you blog? If so, I’d appreciate a trackback or comment to hear your views and to see who else is out there.
Local politicos weigh in on Wal-Mart Watch
This week, the group Wal-Mart Watch is drawing attention to their campaign to challenge the nation’s largest company and retailer to change its ways of doing business. The group accuses the Arkansas-based Wal-Mart of short-changing its employees and for wreaking havoc on local communities. Wal-Mart Watch’s Higher Expectations Week coincides with Robert Grunwald’s new documentary, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices, which is being screened in cities across the country, including Charlottesville.
They’re also holding town meetings with local activists opposed to what they see as the cultural hegemony of Wal-Mart. In Charlottesville, around forty people showed up to listen to local political figures talk about the company.
