Announcement: Launching a Live Talk Show for Global From Asia

Want to watch live news about Hong Kong and Asia business? With a fun twist, and interactive guests and chat? Look no further.

Been podcasting now for almost three years, and loving it. Was honestly so nervous to put my voice online, then earlier this year started Mike’s blog video blog channel and was nervous about putting my videos online.

Now, time to step it up another notch – Live Video Talk. This Thursday at 9pm Hong Kong time, we will start a live video stream about Hong Kong business news and updates.

For those of you on our weekly newsletter (if you’re not, subscribe here), you will see it is quick updates on big news happening in HK and Asia business. I love that readers send in articles for us to add, and I will continue to crowdsource these news from people. Also announce new products and updates in various incubator programs, events, and tidbits.

So this is the first one, and like everything we do here, it will be adapted based on your feedback. Here is our first crack at it:

This is a work in progress – but you can tune in the following ways:

* Go To our Website Page – we will have this headquartered on our GlobalFromAsia.com/talk/ page where you can always hop there and choose the most up to date ways to subscribe and find how to tune in.

* Facebook Live – Deciding if this is done on our facebook page for business – facebook.com/globalfromasia or my personal wall – facebook.com/michelini but I will definitely announce it on my personal wall with a link on how to get it.

* Huzza – Learned this from Social Media Examiner’s morning talk http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/morning-social-media-marketing-talk-show/ and seems like it covers everything we need. So I have an account there now www.huzza.io/michelini where you can signup in advance.

* Weibo Live – Wendy, my wife, is working on this one. My weibo is weibo.com/michelini and I’ll have a dedicated mobile phone for this one.

So while tuning in live will be the most fun, we will record it and share online. I’m thinking to put it on the iTunes feed for the podcast – keep it in the same feed as the interview podcast but start the title with GFATALK001 so subscribers can choose to listen to the talk show or just stick with the interviews.

I am still a bit nervous about this one to be honest. Live is a whole new level -can’t do retakes! This first one I’ll do from my HK office, and a few friends will be there to share the spotlight. Yet I do think this is the future.

The real future will be VR – where you can join me virtually and we can all have a live show in the same “virtual room”. And when that comes, I hope you will join me and the Global From Asia show.

Let’s take this to the next level, your opinions, feedback, and criticism (hopefully constructive) is appreciated.
