For this project you will work in a team of 3. Your assignment is to produce a 5-10 minute podcast on an issue pertaining to this class, by interviewing an executive on the topic of how they can use social media for their company/product/strategy.

You will be evaluated both on the content and the technical quality of the podcast.
