Minter Dialogue #56 -- This is a first for this Show. As you know, usually we talk branding and digital marketing. But this time, I have recorded a show based on one of my deeply personal passions and something that has been driving me for some 21 years. It regards history -- specifically a part of WWII history that has been left outside of the normal focus. I had the chance to catch Jan Thompson, Professor of Radio-Television at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, just before she had the world premiere of her feature length production, entitled "Never the Same, The Prisoner of War Experience." I hope you will enjoy the hiatus from the normal digital marketing topic to listen to Jan's remarkable journey.If you've got comments or questions you'd like to see answered, send your email or audio file to nminterdial@gmail.com; or you can find the show notes and comment on minterdial.com.
