The latest show, hosted by Lisa Picarille, Editor-in-Chief of Revenue Magazine, and myself, featured an interview with Mr. X - a former affiliate network executive who had his voice disguised to protect his identity.
This interview turned out to be something of a dog.
We also discussed blog tag, where bloggers in the industry share five things about themselves and then "tag" other bloggers to do the same.
And we touched on the current Affiliate Summit fundraiser, a clip from Jim Bouton on the secret to success in business, updates on Revenue magazine, and the Time magazine Person of the Year.
