FAQs

How do I listen to a show?

Your computer must have the Windows Media Player. You can download the latest version at the Windows Media Download Site. There is a version of Windows Media Player for Mac users as well.

 

How can I call in live and speak with a host?

You can contact the host in two ways. You can call the host during the blogshow using any phone, whether it be a landline, mobile, VOIP, soft phone, etc.

To reach the host by phone, dial the phone number that appears on the Programming Guide or on the Pharma Marketing Talk Host Channel page (347 996-5894). You will be automatically placed into a queue where you will be able to hear the live show. When the host takes your call, you will be live on the air and audible to his or her audience. However, you can and may be muted according to the host's discretion.

 

How do you select interviewees/guests?

Right now, I am selecting people who are part of the Pharma Marketing Network and who I think have an interesting story to tell. The Network includes active members of the Pharma Marketing Online Discussion Group, the Pharma Marketing Roundtable, as well as advertisers and clients (eg, Pharma Marketing Vendors).

 

Are you charging the interviewee/guest a fee for appearing?

Not at this time. I do not plan to charge a fee specifically for being a guest, but in the future, my guests will include clients who have signed up for a promotional campaign such as an Advertorial. The interview is part of the process of creating the article.

 

How do I apply to be a guest on the show?

Fill out the Online Guest Request Form and we will contact you.

 

Is the discussion done in a studio or over the phone?

It's all done by phone. The guest calls in at the start of the show and I have a switchboard that brings the call online and into conference with my phone. So it's like talking via conference call. Up to 5 people can be live at a time.

 

Can the interviewee/guest make use of the podcast for his or her own use?

No. However, guests can link to the archives on the Pharma Marketing Talk Channel page where people can find the show.
