Only yesterday, Drew B was raising his eyebrows at James Warren being considered an expert on podcasting (what, no blog or podcast!).
I receive my copy of PR Week a day later (I'm well outside London). Here's what I learn about James Warren from this issue: he's quoted in the media analysis article on podcasting alongside Drew B(envie) and Antony Mayfield - whose name is misspelt. He's cited and has his photo on a news story 'Weber Shandwick constructs podcasting studio'. And he has a double page article in the Weber Shandwick magazine that falls out of my copy: 'Coming to terms with losing control'.
We still don't really know what expertise he has with blogs and podcasts - but he's certainly done well with some good, old-fashioned media relations tricks.
Wasn't really raising my eyebrows... just wanted to find his blog and couldn't. James - start blogging! As Danny Rogers said, there need to be more of us!!

Here I am, Richard. Please drop by and say hi - although less of the rabbit rabbit next time, please ; )

Yes, it's good old fashioned PR on James' part. We should be slapping him on the back for generating a significant piece of coverage, rather than criticising the story or his motives.
