gspn.tv Weekly Round Up 10/22/09

Moocow Avatar Hi GSPN Fans! Here I am again with the weekly round up for you. It’s an overcast, cool fall day here today and I was planning to roast a chicken in our rotisserie while I do the laundry and write the Round Up. I thought that would be a nice fall meal. Well that sounded like a plan until my daughter whipped out one of her “coupons” (we have a “Kid Coupon Book” and my daughter earns coupons as a reward that grant special privileges like “Stay up an extra 30 minutes after your bedtime”, “You choose the radio station on our next car trip”, “Day of no chores”, etc.). So in a minute I’ll tell you what we’re having instead of the home cooked rotisserie chicken, fresh carrots and biscuits I was going to make…

Right now, here’s what rolled out on the GSPN feed in the last week – go get ‘em while they’re hot:

+ denotes podcast released for Plus Members only

Biggest Loser 006 – Overcoming Fear

In This Episode: How can you overcome your fear and take control of your life? That is what the Biggest Loser contestants discover this week. Cliff and Fr. Roderick talk about the small steps you can take to win self-confidence and grow your inner strength on your journey to a healthier and more balanced life.

+ Grey’s Anatomy 065 – Invasion

About the Church 095 – Bible Superheroes

Family From the Heart 080 – That New Baby Smell

Desperate Housewives 027 – My God Why Don’t You Love Me Blues

Podcast Answer Man 131 – Branding A Mustache

In this episode, Cliff hit record without any show notes in front of him. However, he came prepared with a great deal of community feedback. He plays several bits of feedback about the episode he did last week regarding Leo Laporte. Cliff had an interesting question about branding his mustache.

+ Pursing a Balanced Life 437 – Seeking Margin

Last week, Cliff talked about the fact that he has exceeded the capacity of what he felt that he could do in a given work week. This week, Cliff shares some thoughts about his search for margin in his life.

+ Full Time Mom 104 – Something Snapped

I think this should have been called “Stephanie’s Confessions and Apologies”! :-) Also, Sarah tells an interesting story about her husband and the marathon he was in – funny how sometimes things turn out differently than we expect, but still in a good way.

+ Social Media Serenity 014 – Goobye to Twitter

In this episode, Cliff and Erik answer a question that came in from Jay Carter, who needed some help understanding the difference between facebook profile and fan pages. He also wanted to know if creating a business page was the same as a fan page. They also covered the following: Woman Arrested For Facebook Poke, Facebook and Twitter Growth Flattens, Myspace’s U.S. Traffic Plummets, and Social Media Charity.

(I heard this as it was recorded live last Thursday!) They also talked about what’s the whole deal with “poking” on Facebook, their opinion on Miley Cyrus quitting Twitter and they share the very funny Billy Ray Cyrus parody “I’m Still Here”.

+ Business Tech Weekly 007 – Skype

In this episode, Andy Traub and Cliff Ravenscraft discuss the advantages of using Skype and much, much more including some updates about Google Document Suite and Tungle v.2. Also, big name coming to Business Tech Weekly November 12th. Jason Fried (wikipedia – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Fried) the remaining founder of 37signals will be joining us. He’s so popular that Seth Godin drops his company’s name in his blog as an example what’s cool and he’s got a book coming out next year that’s already in the top 20 books on Management on Amazon.com as of October 14th and it doesn’t come out for another 5 months!

+ Help iGot a Mac 094 – Steveland

And that’s a wrap for last week!

As you may know, GSPN usually broadcasts live all day on Thursdays. However, there Cliff has other obligations this week and next and has moved several shows to the weekend. Be sure to take a look at the schedule to see what’s happening when.

So, my daughter’s “coupon” is for “Dinner at Your Favorite Restaurant”. So instead of a home cooked rotisserie chicken, fresh carrots and biscuit dinner, I will be driving 30 minutes to go to…the fast food joint Wendy’s. (I guess it could have been worse – it could have been Chuck E. Cheese!) But, you gotta honor the rewards the same way you have to be consistent with the punishments, right? :-P

See you next week! Carole
