Everyone at the FIR Podcast Network wishes listeners a happy holiday and a prosperous 2018!

The “For Immediate Release” podcast — which is taking a break for the holidays — returns on January 8 with a new format. The show will be shorter and instead of guest co-hosts, host Shel Holtz will share brief conversations with communication thought leaders on the news of the week along with his own commentary and Dan York’s weekly Tech Report. In addition, The Hobson and Holtz Report will make a monthly appearance instead of a regular FIR episode, with Shel and Neville continuing their regular 90-minute (or so) conversations.

We hope you enjoy the new format and look forward to your comments.
