On Knowing We Have Arrived

John S. Drew's picture

This entry has nothing to do with our latest episode, an interview with actress Juliet Landau.  It's very cool and I'm excited and all, but it's not my gauge for determining the arrival of the show as something that is recognized as being a force for promotion for others.  Every interview we have done, right up to this point, has been due to the efforts of Keith, Judy, and myself securing guests for the show.  We approached them.

Yesterday, I received my first email from a potential guest, requesting to make an appearance on our show.

This is my signal that we have arrived.

Someone wants to come on the show.  He wasn't asked.  I am chuffed.  (And I don't like using that word as it's overly used, in my opinion.)

Now, I must place a caveat that we have had three of our guests on the show due to a friend of the program who is in public relations.  He did approach us and asked us to have his clients on the show.  But I temper that victory with the fact that he is a friend.

This email was a cold call email from a complete stranger.  I've looked over the guest's materials and I can happily say look out for his appearance in April on the podcast.

Yes, we have arrived.

Next week's show

Is the scheduled 4/13 show the one with the guest you're referring to?

Yes

It is  And the nice thing now is, I got approached by another person regarding an interview and my p.r. friend has lined up another.

Hey, John, I think this "kainaQ" character below is a spambot...

Notice she's had two posts and both of them have links to a "personalmoneystore" website in them?  It's really kind of spooky -- the first link is to an article about a Gilligan's Island movie ON A PAYDAY LOAN WEBSITE -- it's trying to trick you to going there.  Weird stuff.

Yep

I let the first one go as the article had something to do with the discussion even if the site was sponsored by some financial group.  This one clearly is spam.  Like so many others who try, she's out of here. Although I am impressed that she made it personal and had the hutzpah to place it in a more recent post, rather than trying to hide it in the comments section of an old picture from the gallery.
