Shotgun ROI Radio: Kris Smith, Room214

This shotgun episode of ROI Radio features a brief chat with Kris Smith, the Vice President of New Media for Room 214, founder of Palegroove Studios & producer of the popular Croncast.

Kris was a player as I decided to do some “off the cuff” podcasting while Andy and I were in the studio. I pinged Kris on Skype and said “got a few minutes to chat?” With that Kris was dialed into the studio and the question simply was “Whats next?” Kris talks about his thoughts around “moderated RSS” and a consumer facing RSS preference center, as well as Apple TV.
