Welcome to the PRobecast, Episode 53 of Topaz Partners’ weekly
PR-related podcast.

Doug Haslam, Adam Zand and Todd Van Hoosear discuss:

1. Coastal PR: does location matter when picking a PR agency?

2. Embargos: Some recent whining by TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington over a BusinessWeek broken Embargo prompts a discussion of the state of that venerable PR practice

3. Blog Collectives: Does the end of MyKinda bring blog business models into question?

4. Is PR Recession Proof? Discussion of a recent PR Week article

5. Bush and the Red Sox: Some good PR for the beleaguered President

6. A tale of two Princes. A fake prince on Facebook and a real prince in Afghanistan

7. Victoria’s Secret rethinks its branding. The three guys hosting this week’s PRobecast spend way too much time on this topic

8. What to do this weekend: Nothing. It’s March

Lastly, we thank Sam and Christy Whitmore for visiting Topaz last month - Sam Whitmore Media Service is a must have for our agency.
