Catching Up with The Kennedy-Mighell Report

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 09:41:40 GMT

Over the past few weeks Dennis Kennedy and I have recorded two episodes of The Kennedy-Mighell Report, on two topics near and dear to our hearts. In "A Podcast Listener's Guide," we offer some practical advice on how to subscribe to podcasts (in iTunes or your favorite music device), as well as some suggestions for the right podcasts to select. This past week, we released "The Siteless Web Presence," where we discuss whether a lawyer or firm can exist online without a website or blog, and simply through a presence on various social media sites (my answer: you can't, really). Head over to the Legal Talk Network and give them a listen - and then subscribe to the podcast!
