Can you believe I had THE George Park of AdScam fame was on my show? Can you believe we went an entire show without a single f-bomb?

You know what else? There's more to this man than a whole bunch of people may realize. He was one of the most articulate and insightful critics of the industry I've ever met. And combined with the awesome perspectives of David Cherry (Wunderman) and Bill Green (MTLB), we managed to have one the best shows ever. It's a long one, but there was simply no way to edit any of this out. It's worth every second and you owe it to yourself to listen through to the very end. So enjoy!

And once again, I invited you to add me on your Twitter profile. I'm TheBeanCast. As always, thanks for listening and please add a positive review to iTunes if you like the show.
