As much as we enjoy doing MIPtalk we realize that it can be a daunting experience for many of you to commit to listening to an entire episode in a single sitting. In an effort to continue improving on and evolving the program we’re pleased to announced the launch of MIPtalk Minutes, a new feature that will give you a bit of an appetizer before you gorge yourself on the main course.

Greetings to all of you out there in the MIPtalk Nation (with apologies to Stephen Colbert). We’ve been teasing some exciting developments about the show these past few weeks and although the image accompanying this post might lead you to believe that we’ve landed the mother of all interviews with Bill Gates, we’re not there quite yet (although there should be no doubt that such opportunities are on the horizon). What we do have to share is equally as exciting since it represents an important milestone in the journey we’ve taken thus far.
