Podcast: Seth Godin on His Latest Book, “Meatball Sundae”
We’re excited to announce that today at 2pm (EST), Seth Godin — author of the most popular marketing blog in the world, Permission Marketing, Purple Cow and many other bestsellers — will join us to discuss his latest book, Meatball Sundae.
What’s a “meatball sundae,” you ask? In addition to something you probably shouldn’t eat, it’s an analogy for what happens when product development, management, strategy and tactics are out of sync with today’s “new marketing” era. But Seth will explain all of that in his own words.
So, be sure to join us today @ 2pm (EST) on WebmasterRadio.fm (home of our daily Blog Buzz podcast) for this rare conversation between two of the most respected minds in modern marketing. It’s 30+ minutes, so grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever you think might help you wash down a meatball sundae.
UPDATE: The podcast has been archived and is now available here (right-click to download).

“…as a marketer, what you should care about way more than how many people do you reach is who do you reach. That’s what I call “who versus how many.” And that is hard, really hard, for marketers to get over the fact that they spent an entire career focused on how many.”
Classic Godin, very Permission Marketing. Nobody is better at taking direct marketing themes that have been around for decades and translating them into a language all the other marketing folks can understand.
Remember when any traffic was good traffic? How long did it take to unlearn that? Then again, looking at social media, I don’t think that lesson has been fully learned yet…
