We’ll see you back on Tuesday! No podcast this week, but we promise we’ll make up for it next week!

A reminder if you haven’t seen one elsewhere that tomorrow morning is the Boston Social media Breakfast organized by Bryan Person, endorsed by the Social Media Club Boston, and sponsored by CustomScoop–yeah, that’s right, Chip Griffin is picking up the tab, so be sure to order the Grand Slam French Toast Lumberjack Super Deluxe Breakfast (just kidding, but the menu’s pretty damn good).

Breakfast starts at 8am. It’ll be good food (lots of bacon), and good conversation (lots of bacn). We’re going to turn this into our unofficial August Social Media Club outing, so I hope to see you there!

Welcome to the PRobecast, Episode 29 of Topaz Partners’ weekly PR-related podcast.

Rob Capra, Adam Zand and Todd Van Hoosear discuss:

1. The Skype shut down and related corporate communication problems: Blame Microsoft (or maybe not).

2. Businesses frown on Facebook; PR pros and journalists smile; but is bacn good for you?

3. Spies Like Us and need social networks too.

4. The Monster.com security breach and its (and bacn’s) implications on privacy.

5. Are social networks good for your health (and even better research about AC-DC and decision making)?

6. Some slow progress on the Internet radio fee story?

7. What not to watch on TV: Anchorwoman tanks in the ratings. Reality TV in China is a hit but Big Brother is watching.

8. Chocolate Rain goes 8-bit – Our new theme song? (Only if we don’t have to pay royalties HEYNOW!) You be the judge!

9. Upcoming events: Social Media Breakfast August 29, Social Media Club with Dan Lyons and Wal-Mart on September 20.
