Smart Humor and Business Advice Combine in New “Podcast”

The Cranky Middle Manager show is a new humorous and insightful web broadcast show that looks at the world of white collar workers. First show airs this week on The Podcast Network (http://www.thepodcastnetwork.com/cmm)

(PRWEB) June 3, 2005

The hot new trend of “podcasting” met the time-honored tradition of middle-management whining with the launch of “The Cranky Middle Manager” show, on The Podcast Network (http://www.thepodcastnetwork.com). The show premiered today.

“The Cranky Middle Manager” Podcast is the web-based brainchild of author and speaker Wayne Turmel. “It’s for everyone stuck between the idiots who make the decisions and the incompetents who can’t follow orders”, he says, tongue fully in his cheek.

Don’t let the irreverent tone fool you. The weekly internet broadcast will feature honest, insightful commentary, interviews with leading writers and thinkers and book reviews aimed at white collar managers. Besides being a humorous writer and former standup comic, Turmel has written articles and contributed to books by respected publishers like The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) and American Management Association (AMA). He is also author of the well-reviewed “A Philistine’s Journal-an Average Guy Tackles the Classics”

The premiere show contained a “business classic quote of the week,” that showed business advice hasn’t improved in the last 500 years and an insightful interview with creativity consultant Brendan Sullivan about why it’s so hard for middle managers to make creative contributions in most organizations.

Podcast Network co-founder Cameron Reilly says the show has been widely anticipated.

“We all know that middle managers are representatives of the Sith”, Mr Reilly said. “And this show is going to show them for what they are, before they can execute Order 66”.

“The Podcast Network, the first commercial podcast network in the world, is dedicated to creating the best and most diverse content available,” Mr Reilly also said.
