From Manager Tools to Griddlecakes Radio This is PodcastJunky and I listen to it all. I share the best stuff on my iPod and ask you the question…What are you listening to?
And to answer that question, my call in line (714) 855-2639

On today’s show CC Chapman’s Managing The Gray.

You may already know CC from his music shows Accident Hash and U-Turn Cafe. I’d like to show you the other side of CC Chapman .

I think I’ll let him introduce himself with the intro to a recent episode of Managing the Gray .

***Clip from Managing the Gray episode Skittle and SXSW*****

I like how he starts of that episode with kind of a quick run down of some of the roles he plays in life. We all play many different roles. In the world of new media we all just play those roles more publicly.

Managing the Gray is about PR/Marketing but done in the world of new media. The words “Marketing” and “PR” give me that icky feeling and I tend to put my Shields up. Done right, done in a new media way, it’s not so icky.

Big corporations, small businesses and old media are having a heck of a time trying to figure us out. The old methods of media are simply not working any more in a world where savvy potential customers are finding ways to get around or simply ignore traditional advertising.

Now for the longer clip. I’m going to play a story CC told about how Comcast Cable used new media, specifically twitter to turn a disgruntled customer into a happy customer singing the praises of Comcast.

***Clip from Managing the Gray episode “Comcast Wins with Twitter***

So that is CC’s view on how one company is actually using twitter to improve their image and talk WITH customers not AT us.

Now on a personal note, a couple of weeks ago my husband was laid off from his job. The prospects for a new job in his industry are slim. I’ve been a stay at home mom for the past 2 1/2 years so getting back into the workforce will be no easy task.

For a few days there we were both in a fear based depression. It’s scary having no income. I of course turned to my podcasts. I had already listened to many episodes of Managing the Gray but I re-downloaded and re-listened to each and every episode.

CC does not include the role of motivational speaker in his bio but I think he should. He reached into that quicksand of depression and pulled me right out. That incredible energy he has and his amazing outlook on life is contagious.I am very hopeful for the future. For that I will be eternally grateful to CC Chapman.

My Dell Hell Part 5: The Resolution

September 24th, 2008

The situation with Dell has been resolved. Bill, the guy who wasn’t responding to my emails did respond after I started putting up blog posts about Dell. If you read the comments section you can see that he says that he thought he had responded before but apparently had not hit send.

The cynical bones in my body, and there are many, were screaming: Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!. At first I strongly felt that he only responded because I went public. But since then I have talked to him. There is something about having a real conversation with another human. Either he made a couple of really bonehead moves in not responding to my emails and it truly was just human error, or he just didn’t take me seriously and intentionally blew off the emails.

When I talked to Bill I did not hear any animosity in his voice. He seemed very embarrassed to have screwed up and wanted to make things right. I’m going to take him at his word on that. If I’m wrong, than kudos to Bill for his acting abilities.

Since then Bill has been bending over backwards to clear up my concerns.

So here is the resolution to my 3 questions in part 4.

1. Why was I told that I should call back on or after September 22.

Our best guess is that the rep wanted me to call back after the Insperion had been processed through their system. I have another email, about another part that says it takes 10 days to process a customer return, that would be Sept. 13. Still not sure why the rep chose that particular date of Sept. 22. It’s minor and not worth researching.

2. Will you refund the $126.29 difference between the price I was quoted and the price I was charged.

This one created a technical challenge. Complicated story of 3rd party companies, tax issues with no retale stores in my state, etc. You would think any company would be able to simply cut a check or refind a credit card. But at a large corporation level it’s not always that simple. They were not refusing to do it, just complicated.

Bill asked if there was any product I might be in need of. As it happens, I was outgrowing my hard drive. So we found a solution that worked for both of us.

3. Why are your employees not allowed to put anything in writing? They seem to want to help but are not being allowed to. Do they even work for you or are you farming out the work to some other company?

The part about them farming out the work was just me being snarky. I know every big company does this to some extent. My main concern was the apparent policy of not allowing employees to put promises in writing.

Bill assures me that there is no such policy. He also assures me that they will be taking measures internally to make sure the reps understand that if they are making a verbal agreement they should be willing to put it in writing for the customer.

So readers, here is what I want from you: if you are having trouble with Dell I want to know about it. Help me keep their feet to the fire. Don’t go off on the reps, they are just doing their jobs and yelling at them won’t get you anywhere. Be polite, be reasonable, and take lots and lots of notes. Use Fonolo.com if it’s available to you (currently in beta).

Then tell me about it. I am satisfied with my situation but if they are just giving me the brush off and continuing to do this to others, I want to know about it.

My Dell Hell Part 4

September 16th, 2008

Apparently the best way to get Dell to respond to your emails is to publish them. Please see the comments section on part 3.

I continued pestering Dell over the next few days. I’ll spare you all the details of unresponded to calls and emails, here are the highlights.

In most conversations with the support people we didn’t get far enough to talk about the cost of the extension. When I did talk price with the multiple reps I worked with, the price for a one year extension was a little over $100. The only one I have in writing was for $110.

On September 11 I got a call from Marcus. He had finally been given the go ahead to let me purchase my warranty but the cost was now $ 236.29. More than double what I was told in numerous conversations.

I went to check the one I had in writing. I had asked for an extension on MY WARRANTY. The Super Duper Wazoo, Covers Everything, We will fix it NEXT DAY, warranty. Instead she had given me a quote for “Dell on Call, Annual Upgrade, 3 Incidents”. 3 incidents? That’s not nearly enough coverage for a lemony fresh Dell.

In a way Marcus is the hero of this little tale. He actually got back to me. Something that few Dell employees did. He also gave me the warranty I had requested. Wow, someone at Dell actually did his job.

But that doesn’t make up for having to spend more than twice what I was quoted for a warranty extension.

So here are my questions to Dell

Why was I told that I should call back on or after September 22.
Will you refund the $126.29 difference between the price I was quoted and the price I was charged.
Why are your employees not allowed to put anything in writing? They seem to want to help but are not being allowed to. Do they even work for you or are you farming out the work to some other company?

My Dell Hell Part 3

September 15th, 2008

During the tech support problems of part 1 I was tweeting my troubles with Dell. I searched twitter.com hoping Dell is smart enough to have a presents on twitter. Well, they are smart enough to have someone there but not smart enough to have that person be responsive to complaints.

The person I found was Lionel Menchaca, Chief Blogger for Dell Inc. He was not very responsive to me on twitter but he did pass my information on to Bill Bivin who didn’t contact me until August 27, after Dell sent me the replacement laptop.

Bill introduced himself as the laptop liaison but his email signature says he is the “Community Liaison” with “Dell Communities & Conversions”. Seemed like just the person to help me with my warranty extension problems.

On September 3 I sent him an email detailing the problems I described in part 2 and told him that I was beginning to feel like I was getting the run around. I was concerned that if I don’t get the problem resolved before the grace period will ran out than I would not be able to get the warranty. I also told him that I was beginning to wonder if that was by design on Dell’s part.

I got no response.

On September 5 I sent him this:

Hello Bill,

I wanted to give you an update and request that you respond. Yesterday was the last day for me to extend my warranty.

I called and left a message on the extension Jennifer had given me as well as the one I got from Mike. I also sent an email to Mike stating that I would like to continue attempting to extend my warranty. No response from either of them.

I called again for a random Customer service person and got Marcus XXXXXX. We went through the same routine trying to clear this up. He put me on hold for a while then said it was taking longer than expected and could he call me back.

I forwarded the email I had from DHL which confirms that Dell has received the Insperion. He assured me that once the inspirion was processed through their system he would wave the $50 fee an extend the warranty even though the 7 day grace period was over. He also assured me that he would be working today and that he would get back to me today.

I sent him an email asking him to confirm my understanding of our conversation and he did not respond. I’m getting lots of verbal promises but when I ask for written confirmation I get no response.

I called and emailed Marcus today and got an email auto response saying that he would be out of the office today.

I called back and got another random customer service person, Mel, extension XXXXXXX. This is person number 4. After going through the same routine…again… she said that I had to wait until 9-22 and I was to call back on or after that date.

This makes no sense at all. It very much appears that Dell is giving me the run around in an attempt to put things off and make sure I won’t be able to extend the warranty. Has Dell already forgotten Jeff Jarvis. I know you got him to come to Dell and write a more positive article but those of us having trouble with Dell’s customer service have not forgotten.

Remember Satisfied Customers Tell Three Friends, Angry Customers Tell 3,000. Frustrated customers now have options. Needless to say, you can consider this email to be the ruff draft of a blog post, forum posts and probably comments on many other blog posts. Dell will also be getting a mention on my podcast. I also have a nice following on Twitter where I will start talking about my problems with Dell…again.

I may not have a Jeff Jarvis size audience but I do have an audience and they all have computers.

He still has not responded.

My Dell Hell Part 2

September 15th, 2008

If you’ve read part 1 then you know what I went through to get Dell to replace my lemon Laptop. They would not have even taken my calls with out a credit card if I had not had that Super Duper Wazoo, Covers Everything, We will fix it NEXT DAY, warranty. That warranty had been transferred to the new laptop but it was about to expire. Not knowing if the new one was a lemon or not,being a Dell it smells lemony fresh, I wanted to extend the warranty.

Yes, I actually wanted to pay them money for more “next day” service that takes over a week to get satisfaction. I only covered the recent problems I was having with the Insperion in the last post. I’ve had to deal with tech support several other times and I expect the new laptop will be the same. The warranty is an insurance policy that I expect they will have to pay up on.

On 8-28 I called to extend my warranty which was to expire on 8-29. I was told by Jenifer that there was a problem with extending because I had not returned the old laptop yet. I was still trying to pull data off of it. I was assured by Jeniffer that I would still be able to extend the warranty once the laptop was returned but it had to be within 7 days. I took it to DHL the next day. Due to the weekend and the Memorial Day holiday it did not arrive at Dell until September 3.

September 4 was last day of the 7 day grace period for me to extend the warranty. I attempted to contact Jenifer to see if the system had been cleared and to attempt to extend the warranty. The phone extension she gave did not go to Jenifer. Once it went to a recording saying that they are in a staff meeting and to call back tomorrow and once to another person’s voice mail.

I called back again with out giving the extension and got Mike in Warranty support who said that the warranty still could not be extended and to call back tomorrow. This time I asked him to send me an email so I would at least have some Proof that I talked to someone in Warranty before the grace period was over and that I’ve been making a good faith effort to resolve the issue. He did send me an email but was unwilling to confirm in writing that I would be able to extend my warranty.

That’s when I knew I was in trouble. I was getting lots of promises and reassuring comments about extending the warranty being “no problem” once the old laptop was processed into their system and that fees for being beyond the 7 day grace period would be waved. But no one was willing to put anything in writing and I had no proof of all the verbal promises. It all seemed very fishy.

More to come in part 3

My Dell Hell, Part 1

September 14th, 2008

I started having trouble with my Dell Insperion on August 10, 2008 I contacted chat tech support from Hubby’s computer to report that I was getting a blue screen of death. 3 techs and 5 hours later at almost 2 in the morning we decided that I would have to wipe the disk and reinstall the operating system.

I’m not complaining about the 5 hours. It’s to the tech’s credit that they were willing to try everything before telling me that I may have to lose all my data.

The Dell techs have always been patent and polite. I should know, I’ve spent many, many hours on phone and chat with them. I try to return the courtesy and remember that no matter how frustrated I am with their company, they are doing their jobs and most of them are willing to go the extra mile for me if Dell is not tying their hands.

Due to the late hour I was not prepared to start a project like reinstalling the operating system so we ended the chat.

I spent the next day double checking that all my kids pictures and important documents were backed up. I contacted them again on August 12.

I got a fantastic tech, Margaret. She started to walk me through the process and made sure I had all the appropriate disks and downloaded the appropriate driver. While we were doing this the computer shut down on it’s own at random times.

The chat had taken longer than I expected 2 hrs. Again, not complaining about that, these techs go over the top to make sure I don’t lose my data and I appreciate that. However, I had a playgroup to get to and she wanted to research the mysterious shut down problem so we ended the chat.

When I got back to Margaret that afternoon she had found the problem. Like I said, when Dell allows them to they do their jobs well. I’m a big fan of the Tech Support people. Individually, as people, they are awesome. How they got hired by Dell I will never understand.

The laptop needed a new hard drive, system board and processor.

I have “Next Day, Onsite Service” Warranty. Paid a very pretty penny for it too. Lots of pretty pennies. I’ve had to use this several times in the past so I know that the “next day” is not exactly accurate. The tech rarely receives the parts next day.

This was happening on the 12^th and I was leaving for Los Vegas to attend the New Media Expo the next day, Wednesday. I would be there Thursday and Friday so I arranged for a tech to meet me there and dragged my non working Laptop to the NME with me.

The tech did show up and installed the new parts on Thursday August 14. That night I tried to install the operating system with no luck. Contected tech support by phone. Long story short, after replacing just about everything except the fan, the fan needs to be replaced. It was running hot and causing the laptop to go in a continuous cycle as I tried to start up. So I dragged my laptop and all the install files all the way to Vegas for nothing.

This was Thursday night. No way to get the part to the tech on Fri and they don’t count Saturday or Sunday. I arranged for the part to be sent to a tech in CA for Monday delivery and repair.

Monday came and went along with a call from the tech saying that not all of the parts arrived so he would not be able to do the repair until Tuesday. Thursday to Tuesday = 6 days! NEXT DAY SERVICE MY ASS!

It was late Thursday so I’ll give them a one day pass but still Friday to Tuesday is hardly “next day service”.

I arranged for the tech to meet my hubby at work on Tuesday with the computer since I would be out and about with the kids and didn’t think playgroup at the park with 8 toddlers would be the ideal setting for computer repair.

The tech replaced the parts but the laptop auto shut down upon start up. They started it up again and it appeared to be working. So Hubby started the OS install process. That night I tried to finish the process. I contacted Dell support again to find out what the driver order should be. While I was on with Support the computer shut down…multiple times.

Fortunately the tech who did the repair earlier that day had made an incident report about the laptop shutting down so there was proof that I am not a lying cheating customer, just trying to get a free replacement laptop.

After leaving me with no computer during the one and only tech related conference I will attend this year, they finally agreed to send a replacement. Remember I have the Super Duper Wazoo, Covers Everything, We will fix it NEXT DAY, warranty! With out that I wouldn’t have gotten anything.

Finally, a replacement laptop was on it’s way. But that is not the end of the story. No, not the end at all. I am still not a happy customer. But this blog post is long enough, it’s getting late and I’m tired of typing. Look for part two coming soon.

Below is a partial transcript of the show.

Hello and welcome to PodcastJunky’s Quick fix show #3. The quick fix show is where I put the stuff that just doesn’t belong on the regular show. No reviews here, just my thoughts.

Today I have an announcement for you. I have decided to start charging a fee for my podcast. Why am I doing this you ask? Because I have a huge ego! My ego is bigger than Tee Morris’s ego, Bigger than ScottSigler’s ego, biger than the hair of Adam Curry, The PodFather himself . My ego is bigger than the thousands of other podcasters who are giving their content away for free.

I am also doing this because I have no respect for you, dear listener. It’s not enough that you have taken time out of your day to listen to me. That is simply expected of you. I have no respect for the fact that you have limited space on your computer and your play list and you’ve given some of it to me.

OK, I can’t keep a straight face anymore. But as you can see I have some strong feelings on this topic. Paul J. Barrie Jr, host of A Window to the Magic floated the idea of charging for podcasts on twitter a few months ago. When I said I was against it we ended up in a friendly email conversation which I’m going to excerpt for you.

His argument “Do you think my show is not worth $1/show?” A valid point. Here is my response:

“Of course it’s worth $1 a show and more. And Dan Klass is worth $4/month and Manic Mommies is worth $12/year and Cliff at GSPN does dozens of shows a month and is well worth the $10/month he is asking. Add a few more and it’s starting to add up to a hefty bill.

I think this model will be successfully for only a few podcasters. You do a very high quality show and maybe you will be one of those few.

For the rest I think they will find that there is some guy who just bought a $40 headset mic and is planning to do a similar show for free. That guys first few shows won’t be very good but he will get better and purchase better equipment and eventually maybe even start putting his stuff up as premium. At that point the next guy or gal with a brilliant idea will be purchasing their own first microphone. and the cycle continues. There is always someone waiting in the wings for their big chance to get on stage. Most of them will fail but the one or two will succeed, they are the ones who will steel your audience.

Every show has it’s die hard fans who will stay with them no matter what. You have to ask yourself if enough of those core fans will stay with you when someone else is offering similar content for free.

I wish you the best my friend and I wish I had the answer for you but I don’t. I just feel strongly that this is not it. I think that it will alienate current listeners, keep new listeners from even trying out podcasts and ultimately only be successful for only a very few podcasters.“

End of reply

I have to mention that since I wrote that email I’ve found out more about the Manic Mommies policy. They have a month or so of the most recent episodes up, but if you want to search the archives you have to be under their “Big Tent” and pay for the privilege . That means that the Link to the episode of theirs I highlighted is now a dead link. So I won’t be linking to them in the future.

The Bitterest Pill and GSPN Network also have some of their content up for free as teaser or sample episodes.

There are two other podcasters I used to listen to who have chosen this model. Dan Klass of The Bitterest Pill and Cliff and Stephanie Ravenscraft of the GSPN Network. Do I think these people have gigantic egos? That’s a big no for Stephanie. Cliff is on an emotional roller coaster. I think his ego is along for the ride. When he is up he has a big ego and big plans. But he takes criticism hard, maybe to hard. I think his ego is more fragile than he would like it to be.

Dan, well he is a self described “failed actor” and he has done stand up. It takes a certain amount of ego to do that. But I’ve also met Dan on a couple of occasions and found him to be a regular guy. More quick witted then the average person but basically just a guy trying to find his way in life.

I don’t think they knowingly disrespect the listeners. I’ve had many email and twitter conversations with Cliff and I know that he has a deep appreciation for each and every listener. He takes his “Community” seriously.

Dan sees it from the perspective of a Hollywood performer. You wouldn’t expect to go to a live stand up performance and not have a cover charge or at least a minimum drink order. After all, the performer Has to be paid. The difference is that I’m paying for the experience of a live show. I probably would not pay or at least not pay much for the show if it were audio or video taped version. I’m not saying that it doesn’t have worth. If entertaining audio and video were rare and hard to find I would pay for it. But that is not the case. Good content is all over the internet, and the movie theaters are hurting because of it.

No matter how good your stuff is there will always be someone nipping at your heels ready to offer good content, free.

MommyCast, Ask a Ninja and others have found ways to make their shows financially success full without asking me for money. When I hear a podcasters saying they want to charge for their content the message I hear is:

I am superior to all other podcasters and it’s not enough that you have given me your time, I want your wallet too.

Find a better way people, find another way.

August 7th, 2008

Below is a partial transcript of the episode.

From Forensic 4cast to Comedy4cast to,this is PodcastJunky and I listen to it all. I share the best stuff on my ipod and ask you the question…What are you listening to?
And to answer that question, my call in line (714) 855-2639

I’m back! Yes, I know, it’s been a while, sorry. But my microphone has not gotten dusty in my absence. I was busy starting a new podcast. Mean Mommies Club. More on that after the main content which is Chasing the Bard.

Here is a taste of this story which is both delightful and dark.

Chasing the Bard Promo

Chasing the Bard is a story of the world of the fairy’s but don’t think Disney, think A Midsummer Night’s Dream . What if William Shakespeare was not writing about a world he created but instead a world he was experiencing. The fairy world, or, the fey as described in Chasing the Bard is a far more rich and deep world than anything Tinker Bell or her fairy friends at Disney Studios could ever imagine.

A malaise is taking over the fey world and it is dieing. Their only hope for survival is The Bard himself William Shakespeare.

But Will is not so eager to leave this world. Time works differently in the fey world and Will knows that it is possible he may never return or return to find his wife and children have grown old and passed away.

When I describe this podcast to friends often the first question is about the language. Is it like Shakespeare? Does it have all the flowery language?

As a side note, Shakespeare’s done right is understandable. See Kenneth Branagh’s versions of Much Ado About Nothing and my favorite Henry V for examples. The story and imagery will draw you in and the language is no longer a hindrance to our modern ears.

Never the less, is not written in the 1500’s it was written by the thoroughly modern Philippa Ballantine. Philippa is a New Zealand author and podcaster. She has published two books. Did I say 2? We’ll add one to that, more about that in a moment. Currently published books are Chasing the Bard and Weaver’s Web which is also available as a PodioBook. She also does the podcast Whispers at the Edge where she talks about life in Wellington, New Zealand and about being a writing.

Phillipa does include a warning at the beginning for Mature themes and situations. The story is not for kids but most of it wouldn’t be a problem for kids to overhear. The l few not so kid friendly parts you will be able to see coming with plenty of time to hit skip and listen to later.

The clips I have chosen are of course as always, kid friendly. So for those of you still worried about the language, here we go. The first clip I am going to play is from Chapter 1. Puck The Trickster has left the fey to investigate the human world. He is following Bess, a midwife who is on her way to a birthing. We later discover this is the birth of Will Shakespeare.

Clip from Ch1

The second section I have for you is from Chapter 3. Will Shakespeare is a child in this scene and Puck has taken the form the family cat so that he can watch over young will.

Clip from CH 3

I promised you more about a third book Philipa is having published. Digital Magic The sequel to Chasing the Bard will be available on Amazon.com on 08-08-08. The promotion for this has been massive. Philipa has gotten together with Tee Morris to promote both of their books coming out that day. The Case of the Pitcher’s Pendant the sequel to Tee Morris’s The Case of the Singing Sword will also be available on 08-08-08. They are calling their double promotion Double Trouble. When you get Tee and Pip together, it’s always trouble.

The promotion for this has been massive.The back seat producers have done 8 reviews of films with 8 in them to honor of 08-08-08. Tee and Pip have done thousands of podcast interviews. Ok that may be an exaggeration but seriously they are all over the podosphere with the interviews. I’ll be interviewing them at the expo later on this month. Best of all they have both put the PDF of their book online for FREE, and if I do the tech part correctly you should be able to find both PDF’s in my feed as well. If not, check the show notes for links.

Link Love:

Forensic 4cast Each episode the hosts discuss recent news that impacts on computer forensic investigations and those that perform them. This is not the glamorous world of CSI, it’s computer forensics. digging into computers in hopes of extracting the stuff the bag guys thought they had deleted permanently. It’s definitely a niche audience.

Comedy4cast is a short form comedy podcast. Monologues, skits, whatever the host Clinton finds funny. It’s comedy in 4 minutes or less.

Now as for my reason for being gone for so long.

Promo for Mean Mommies Club

Together with two of my closest friends have started a parenting podcast called Mean Mommies Club . We found that all of us had similar parenting philosophies. We wanted to share our loving but no nonsense approach to parenting. It’s nothing new, there have been mean mommies and daddies around ever since the first toddler had a temper tantrum. But we also see lots of misbehaving toddlers who parents give into their demands or worse try to be a friend instead of a parent. So if you are a parent, please check out Mean Mommies Club.
