<a href="http://www.missyward.com">Missy Ward</a> (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/missyward">@missyward</a>) of <a href="http://www.affiliatesummit.com">Affiliate Summit</a> moderated this week with panelists:
<ul>
	<li> Lisa Picarille (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/lisap">@lisap</a>), a <a href="http://www.lisapicarille.com" target="_blank">consultant</a> focusing on online marketing, social media and content creation</li>
</ul>
<ul>
	<li>Lisa Riolo (<a href="http://www.twitter.com/lisariolo">@LisaRiolo</a>), Internet Marketing Consultant
<ul>
	<li><strong>Women in Power. </strong> Is it possible to command power without reference to her gender?</li>
	<li><strong>Web Thinking vs. Step Thinking.</strong> Will it be the female species that ultimately solves our healthcare crisis, saves our planet and stops poverty?</li>
	<li><strong>Advertisers Still Don't Get It.</strong> How to market to the 40+ female crowd.</li>
</ul>
</li>
The topics that were spewed today were:

Additionally, there is a reference to Aunt Bee, a fictional character from the 1960's sitcom, the Andy Griffith Show.  After further investigation, it turns out she was as old as she looked.  However, Lucille Ball was only 40 years old when I Love Lucy first aired and she sure looked a lot older than that.  Just sayin'.

<em>Podcast Warning:</em>

<em>There is a whole lot of 40+ estrogen flowing throughout this podcast. This is not for the faint-hearted, nor those who prefer to hide from the truth ;-) </em>

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.geekcast.fm"><img align="left" src="http://missyward.com/images/bigmouth.jpg" border="0" alt="Big Mouth Strikes Again Logo" /></a>As many of you know, I'm the founder of <a href="http://www.thespew.fm">TheSpew.fm</a> podcast which airs on <a href="http://www.geekcast.fm">GeekCast.fm</a>.

Over the last few months, we've had a bunch of terrific guests on our show and have had a blast recording the podcast.  

Unfortunately, (although I'm not sure how it happened), the show duration seems to have grown longer and longer; teetering on the verge of being annoying to listen to.

So as to keep the original intent of the podcast -- to be a round-table of women discussing internet marketing -- I've decided to fly solo on another podcast, appropriately named <a href="http://www.geekcast.fm">BigMouthStrikesAgain</a>*.

This new 30-minute (or less) podcast will feature interviews of experts in affiliate marketing, social media, search engine marketing, mobile marketing and more.

While I'll still be participating in upcoming episodes of TheSpew, I figured that with me not being on every single episode, the other girls might be able to get a word in ;-)

So here's where you come in.

Are you an expert in your area of online marketing?   Want to help others learn more about your field?

Then I'd love to have you as my guest on BigMouthStrikesAgain!]]></description>

<p>* Credit for the podcast name goes to <a href="http://www.affiliatetip.com">Shawn Collins</a>.  Him and I are both big fans of The Smiths, and their song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlzMrJWYobc">Big Mouth Strikes Again</a> is one of my favorites.  The name couldn&#8217;t be more fitting for the podcast.</p>
<p>** We record via Skype.  You would need the latest version running on your computer along with a headset/speaker.</p>

</a><em>Brian Clark and I at the Blogger's Lounge at SXSW 2009
</em>

The topics that were discussed today were:
<ul>
	<li>Brian reveals how he made the leap from his former "wicked" career to canonical copywriting blogger. He also gives us some insight into <a href="http://www.teachingsells.com">Teaching Sells</a> and <a href="http://www.diythemes.com">DIYtheme's Thesis for Wordpress</a> (the <a href="http://www.thesisaffiliates.com">affiliate program</a> that I manage to benefit the <a href="http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/">National Breast Cancer Foundation</a>.)</li>
	<li>Is it imperative to be a good writer to have a successful blog?</li>
	<li>Is it worth taking a citation from the grammar police in order to get your point across?</li>
	<li>Are journalists dinosaurs?</li>
	<li>Can you blog about something you're not interested in?</li>
	<li>Effective tactics for writing blog post headlines</li>
	<li>Strategies affiliate marketers can employ to get their visitors in a buying frame of mind</li>
	<li>Newspapers are on the endangered species list. Are they worth saving? Is Journalism as we know it we know it today, at risk?</li>
	<li>Digital reading: Can the book/magazine/newspaper to reader relationship withstand the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00154JDAI?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=affilsummi-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=9325&#38;creativeASIN=B00154JDAI" target="_blank">Kindle</a> to reader relationship?</li>
