G’Day World “On The Pod” #34 - Shel Israel
Shel Israel is a God amongst insects. Recovering publicist. Blogger. Author. Raconteur (I’m actually not sure what that means, but I’m pretty sure Shel is one anyway… just sounds kinda right). Friend of the rich and famous. Champion of the poor and downtrodden. Hell, he was even featured in Forbes magazine earlier in the year.
Unfortunately, he wouldn’t know a decent cup of coffee if it bit him on backside, but hey, he’s a yank, so we’re cutting him some slack.

Thanks for the very kind words, mate. Can Australian coffee actually bite you on the backside? Could you send me a photo?

Did I hear right - my name in the context of a back-handed slash at LearnDog’s home town - Beautiful Downtown Adelaide!!
I’ll take it as a compliment and a generous offer to support LearnDog’s launch-conference when the time comes. Seriously, being an ex-Microsoftee, Scoble is my hero and the work he and Shel are doing over at the Red Couch are absolutely the inspiration for what I am trying to do with the LearnDog blog.
I hope LearnDog (and ThePodCastNetwork) grow up to be worthy of Chapter 5 of Naked Conversations.

I listened to this on the train home today and found it very interesting. The only issue I had was that you didn’t ask him to say G’day
