There has been huge growth in podcasts and videocasts that cover marketing, social media and PR issues. We've all appreciated the newfound access to reporters, vendors and academics. However, one drawback of this growth has been a similar approach in this media toward production, length, content—and most troubling of all—theme songs. Do you disagree? Do you think your podcast theme song stands apart from the crowd? The Battle of the Podcast Theme Songs will let the public decide.
ROUND #1
PRobecast vs. Cutting Edge
THE CONTESTANTS
PRobecast
In this corner, weighing in at at compact 266KB and almost taking full advantage of modern polyphonic technology: no, don't check your cell phone, it's the PRobecast theme song. Now in its 11th weekly episode, this scrappy upstart from tech PR agency Topaz Partners hopes to topple one of the industry greats.
Cutting Edge
And in this corner, weighing in at 385KB and playing Surf Punks to PRobecast's Devo: so close to the action you better keep a box of Band-Aids handy, it's the Cutting Edge theme song. Blog and podcast veteran Heather Green of BusinessWeek is about to celebrate her two year podcast anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than a victory here.
