Have you got a client who can talk about the year in technology? We’re looking for guests who are great on the radio and can talk for a good 30 minutes about some aspect of the year in technology.

We’re planning on recording this show TOMORROW AFTERNOON- December 15th, so your guest must be available for a telephone interview.

Examples might include: Science, TV Technology, Laptops, Computers, Magazines, Radio, Sales/Marketing, etc.

Please go ahead and send us an email at producer |at| CraigPeterson dot com

If you could ask the CEOs and other execs of any of the Major Consumer Electronics Companies anything, what would it be?   Are you interested in their products, the direction of their industry, what pets they have, what?

This is your chance to ask them questions, an opportunity that may never happen again.  From Product Direction through Marketing, Sales and Distribution and even personal questions, they’re all fair game and this is your chance.

Since you’re following me, you probably already know that I’ve interviewed the top people at every major Consumer Electronics firm in the world.  I’ve interviewed more than 5,000 CEOs, CTOs and Marketing Officers over my past 535+ ClearChannel Radio shows in the Boston Market.

Next week, I’m going to be out at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and I’m going to be recording interviews, dozens of them.  I’ll be there with my official media credentials and recording equipment asking questions and putting together more radio shows.

Now, here’s the important part for you:  For the first time ever, I’m going to be asking them some of your questions.  I’ve never made this offer before, and I’m a little reluctant to do it — after all, we’ve all heard some people ask some pretty silly questions…  But I’m willing to give it a try.

I’m going to be using my Twitter account (@CraigPeterson) to post basic information about each guest I’m interviewing as it happens.  If you have a question for them (or for anyone), just go ahead and subscribe to my Tweets and reply when you see something interesting.  It’s that simple.

I’ll take the (reasonable) questions, ask them to the executives, record the interviews, tweet back and post the answers on my web site (http://CraigPeterson.com)  This will let you be part of the action on the floor of the largest conference and convention in the world!  Check it out at http://www.cesweb.org/

Don’t forget to follow my Tweets at http://twitter.com/craigpeterson and let me know what you think. Another milestone for social media.

The Consumer Electronics Show is coming up in January, and we’ll be there again!  And… we’ll be offering a service that will get your CES-attending clients a ton more PR for months to come.  We’re going to be producing Features and Vignettes for our clients and PR firms again — starting at CES in Vegas.

Two years ago, at the request of ClearChannel Radio, we started producing one to two minute Features for them to air.  And air they have!

They’ve each aired more than one hundred times — including during the Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck shows.  Talking about great coverage!

The stations they’ve been airing on love the spots, and the companies we talk about have had tons of PR, so there’s been a lot of interest in having us start doing them again.

For the first time ever, we’re going to be recording our Features/Vignettes production from the floor of the show.  We’ll finish the production over the following weeks and will be sending the finished Features off to our affiliate stations the week after.

We’ll be charging for production, and we’ll distribute them to our ClearChannel affiliates in Boston (who have been sending them to other ClearChannel stations around the country). You can send them off to any other stations you think might be interested in some good content — netting your client some more PR

Drop us a line if you’d like to know more, and we’ll be sending out more info over the next couple of weeks to have CES-related Features produced.  It will be on a first-come, first-served basis as we can only produce and air about a dozen a month.

If you have any questions about our Features production, please contact producer+features at my website at CraigPeterson.com

Anyhow, we were able to find out about space exploration by private citizens, tourists, who will be able to experience weightlessness in space for a few minutes and see the true curvature of the earth.  Very cool, even if you don’t have the $100,000 it’ll take to grab one of these first seats.

This past weekend’s we talked about:

• Airline Industry Software Systems with Siva Vajjhala, the Head of the Travel and Transportation Industry Group at mindtree.com

• Making Airline Travel Simpler with Chris Lopinto, the Co-Founder and President of expertflyer.com This is the site to go to if you want to be able to get absolutely great deals on airline travels.  The site provides you with all of the inside information and background about each seat available on an airplane.  You could end up getting a business class seat and only paying for coach.

• Mobile Check-In for Airlines with Tania Ladic, the VP of Industry Marketing at ncr.com NCR has systems in airports now that allow you to go through security and check-in only using your cell phone.  It doesn’t get much easier than this.

• We spoke for 1/2 an hour about Commercial Aviation with Seth Kaplan, the Managing Partner at airlineweekly.com

• If you’ve ever wondered about traveling in space, this is the interview for you.  We spoke about Space Tourism with Jules Klar, the Chairman and CEO  over at rocketshiptours.com

• Do you know someone who can’t travel via airplane because they need supplemental oxygen, and can’t be certain they’ll have enough oxygen to survive the inevitable delays?  We spoke about Avation Medicine with Dr. Brent Blue, the Founder of http://www.aeromedix.com/

New for this year is their EPA-certified E-TEC environmentally friendly outboard engine.  It has the lowest reportable emissions of any outboard engine and is 300 pounds lighter and 50% quieter than any other  two-stroke engines.   With their technological advanced engine management computer making 8 million calculations per second to assure that boaters use the precise amount of fuel at any given RPM it even uses 44% less fuel than engines that use older technology.

About Evinrude:  Ever since that landmark day when Ole Evinrude paddled to fetch ice cream of his love, sparking the idea for the boat motor, Evinrude has been pushing the boundaries of what boats and marine engines can do.  From manufacturing the first detachable boat row boat engine to setting speed records and building engines and parts for the U.S. military, Evinrude has been among the most trusted names in boating.  A member of the BRP family, a name synonymous with quality and innovation, Evinrude has its sights set on providing boaters

Evinrude recently launched the ICON, a state-of-the-art digital user interface system for E-TEC outboard engines.  The new system is designed to provide boaters with convenience and ease of operation and includes gear position indicators, neutral throttle advance, synchronized engine trim, RPM tune and a unique PowerSync control for multi-engine applications.
