I\u2019ve said before that a podcast is better than a radio show because it embraces communication through social media; in fact: better than that\u2026it IS social media, independent podcast producers can honestly call those who subscribe to their content: Friends; and really mean it.\xa0 Despite the commercial advertisements on this show; I\u2019m not really going overboard in trying to sell you something\u2026I might recommend some products or services that I think are pretty cool, but the unspoken truth is that it\u2019s rare for anyone producing a podcast today to \u201csell out\u201d their audience, and we certainly work hard to stay connected.\nI get a lot of email that I don\u2019t read on this show that is angry, hurtful and hateful\u2026the hate you can appreciate I will avoid, but if you disagree with me: that\u2019s okay.\xa0 \nWhy?\xa0 \nBecause we\u2019re having a conversation, we\u2019re creating a social bond; and while time and distance will probably negate our ever being able to meet in person, and share a glass of wine, pint of cold ale or a steaming hot coffee: We can use this social media of podcasting, and these responses by email, Twitter and Facebook to create this community; this Run Net Community as we share the open road together and with others.\nIn this episode, I\u2019ll answer some emails and enjoy some good conversations with fellow runners.\nShow Links: \nTHANK YOU for your daily VOTE: \u201cIf This Geek Ruled the World\u201d by Geoff Smith
