I am building a programme of new podcast shows based around the business of mobile content, online media, digital marketing and digital entertainment. So if you get to London or are based here and would like to come on the mbites Podcast, get in touch.

As an addendum to the podcast today about corporate blogging, I interviewed Piers Fawkes (pictured) of the New York-based PSFK web sites, which track trends and brands online.

Piers mentioned one new success story: hotels who are using blogs as travel guides to New York…

The mbites.com podcast this week looked at the relatively new phenomenon (at least in the UK) of corporate blogging: blogs run by firms and organisations both as a communications exercise and as a kind of customer relationship thing. We also touched on blogging ‘as publishing’.

The guests (pictured above) were Tim Houghton, managing director of New Media Intelligence, and Dana Gornitzki, editorial consultant, journalist and contributor to the The Globe and Mail newspaper.

The mbites.com podcast this week looked at how digital music is impacting both on music fans and the artists themselves. The guests (pictured) were Laura Lee Davies, former editor of Time Out magazine in London and a music journalist of 20 years experience, and Ben Drury, founder and managing director of 7digital.com, which provides digital downloading services to many leading brands and artists’ web sites.

I’m developing an event for New Media Knowledge on the new area of IPTV (Internet Protocol TV) on 25th May. I’ll be looking for speakers, participants, delegates and sponsors, so get in touch if you fall into any of those categories.

This week Mbites.com hosted its latest “Bitecast”, featuring two guests: Alfie Dennen (left), co-founder of Moblog UK and Chris Skinner (right), co-founder of Podcast User Magazine.

The second in our regular series of podcasts (chaired by journalist Mike Butcher) looked at so-called “User Generated Content” in the context of blogging via mobile and the upsurge in the creation of “radio show” style podcasting.

Hosted at London private members club, Adam Street, the podcast covered how “UGC” could eventually affect mainstream media and marketing, as well as the emerging business models.
