I have had the opportunity to interview some very provocative people as part of Radio Talent Zoo on TalentZoo.com. Take a listen.

Hadji Williams
Author, "Knock The Hustle"

Click here to listen to my podcast with Hadji Williams, outspoken author of Knock The Hustle: How to Save Your Job And Your Life From Corporate America.

In contrast to his writing style, Hadji’s soft-spoken in person, but nonetheless he had some provocative things to say. Among the highlights are his take on the unique challenges African-Americans in advertising face (6:25); a job he thought he had landed until the HR woman saw him in person (7:09); his expectations of the planned NYC Human Rights Commission hearings (13:52); what he thinks it’ll take for more minorities to get hired in the ad biz (16:00); the surprising reaction to his book (22:44); and the holding company he can’t ever work for again (26:22).

Jeff Chester

Author, "Digital Destiny"

We had a fun chat. I'm not sure everything Jeff describes has come to complete fruition, but he's got some very real concerns. The podcast is about 20 minutes long. We talked about Turner Broadcasting's marketing promotion that turned into a terror scare; what Jeff calls the advertising industry's "chilling goal" to deliver personalized ads wherever consumers go; advertisers' reluctance to accept industry safeguards; the incredible inadequacy of websites' privacy policies; and the advertising industry's "shameful" lack of corporate and social responsibility.

David Horowitz
Consumer Advocate, FightBack.com

We talked about some big issues in the advertising industry, including "loyalty" programs, consumer-generated content, privacy, the Super Bowl, pharmaceutical advertising, customer service, and the time he was held hostage live on television.

David even sent me a handwritten note thanking me for the interview--a very classy move.

My Interview on Radio Sweden

I was interviewed by Sara Heyman, a reporter for Swedish national radio, in response to this posting I made on AdPulp regarding Unilever's differing messages in promoting its products in various countries.
