Hello Listeners!

Ben Eltham is on the road this week speaking to the lovely Andras and Norbert of Social Media guru company Esemdee. 

Andras and Norbert set up a digital marketing agency but could not find a platform they were happy with when handling multiple accounts and that could service multi national clients as well as small business clients. So, they sourced and employed some extremely talented people to make one for them. In fact, the system worked so well and was so easy for their clients to use with great results that the idea for releasing Esemdee was born.

"We are all about making social media easy for any business, including yours. We know how fast social media moves and how sometimes, simply keeping track of what your users are posting seems like a job in itself. We also understand how hard it is to give users freedom to post while protecting the brand you are working hard to promote. Esemdee was created to make our lives easier, so we know it will work for you."

If you have ever felt mystified about the world of social media, pop on this episode and soak up the knowledge that these industry experts have to share.

Hello Listeners

Welcome back Drew Armstrong, Ben Eltham and the man himself Mr Paul Waite in the first podcast episode of the new year. 

In this one we discuss the happenings of the Christmas break, which saw not so much a break, but an exciting opportunity arise for Paul. 

The new year is a time for resolutions, or as we coined in this episode, New Years Reflections. A time to reflect and look at what you have achieved, what you can make better and what you will aim for in the future. 

A business plan is like a guide to the New Years resolutions of a company, as we find out in this episode.

Hello Listeners!

This week Paul and Marc Carey have an interesting talk with Internationally acclaimed musician Steve Rodgers, son of the great Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, Queen).

They discuss all things music and what makes Steve tick as an artist.

We have 3 of his standout tracks aired on this episode:

Sorrow
I Will Grow 
Sunshine

Here is some background info:

Steve Rodgers, singer songwriter, has just completed recording his much anticipated first album, due for release this year and produced by Ken Nelson (Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Paolo Nutini) mixed by Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse). His songs reflect his passion for life’s depth, mystery and wonder, recorded with his band of like-minded musicians. Critics compare his music to a mix of Jack Johnson, Paolo Nutini and Cat Stevens.

At 14 he began to write his own songs on guitar and piano. He started a band with his friends at 17, ‘Lost Sons of Davros’. From the ‘Lost Sons’ came ‘Boa’ they created two great albums – their first single ‘Duvet’ was the title track to the Japanese multi award- winning animation series Manga ‘Lain – Serial Xperiments’. They toured the States, the UK and after much enjoyment, Steve decided to follow his own path.

He has ‘guested’ at Wembley for Bad Company, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and the Robert Randolph Band. Tours have included support slots for Bad Company in the UK and Japan and his own headline dates in the UK and Canada. Steve has also supported The Deborah Bonham Band and Midge Ure on their respective tours in the UK and Europe. In 2014 he supported Bad Company again with Lynyrd Skynyrd for their coast to coast US tour and in September 2015 he joined Stackridge for a three month tour of the UK.
