Listener Spotlight
Would you like to be featured in the Listener Spotlight segment of a future episode of The Community Admin Show? Do you manage at least one family friendly community with at least 10,000 posts of its own? Do you have headphones, a mic, Skype (a free instant messaging/VoIP program) and a high speed connection? If you have all of that, please e-mail me with your real name (first and last, no aliases please) and your website. If I decide that you qualify, I will place you in a pool with other listeners who write in. You only need to e-mail once. Not everyone who e-mails in will be spotlighted. In any case, I appreciate you taking the time to write in.
Questions, Feedback, etc.
If you have any questions about community management that you would like answered on the show or you would like me to talk about something specific, please e-mail me. By e-mailing me, you are giving me the right to read your e-mail on the air and mention your name and website unless you specifically tell me otherwise.
Thank you for listening.

Whats with the short shows, Pat? It’ll take month to get the content from one of Won Lee Do’s shows.

Thanks for the comment.
It goes both ways, really. Some people like long shows and some people like short shows. I am of the mindset that a show must not be long to be useful. I mean, my show is generally pretty straight forward and I try not to waste people’s time, if I can help it. Plus, sometimes you’ll learn more in 5 minutes than you can learn in 5 hours. Time isn’t always relevant when it comes to this sort of thing. :)
I like to think there is value in being able to sit down for 5 minutes and get a few actionable points, rather than listening to someone talk for a half hour to an hour. I stay pretty busy, so I know I can appreciate that sort of thing. But, like I said, everyone is different and show length certainly varies. We’ll have shows of both short and longer lengths, as we always have. :) Thanks.

At first I didn’t like the long ones, but I realised they had a lot of content and I felt I needed to find the time if I wanted to truly appreciate this Podcast. Thus, I’m now putting the long (and short) on my iPod to save. :D

I see where you are coming from Patrick. One major downfall of The Won Lee Do Show is that you have to out up with 5 minutes of jokes and 10 minutes of Napoleon Dynamite clips.
