ZimmCast 739 - Happy New Year Episode

Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast. I'm Chuck Zimmerman along with Cindy Zimmerman. Welcome to another year of agriblogging and farm podcasting. It's hard to believe that we're coming close to 21 years since we started ZimmComm in 2004. Cindy and I have worked together in the ag marcom field for about 21 years before that. Now we're doing some thinking and planning for 2025. I sense that this year will be a big one for us We've already got plans made for the same conferences during the upcoming months. We traveled to work at 20 different events last year. So, we'll see how things go as time moves on. We started taking photos at events 20 years ago when Flickr started . Since then we've uploaded 222,000 photos and they have collectively received 38 million views. In 2024 we uploaded 6,611 photos from the events and they have been viewed 1.1 million views. On the audio side of things we started using Libsyn as our audio/podcast server platform in 2017. In that time, and just looking at our ZimmComm Golden Mic Audio podcast, we've received 2.8 million downloads of those files, with 137,000 in 2024. Our AgNewsWire service had a banner year in 2024 with the distribution of over 80 news releases for our clients. And speaking of news releases we're offering a 2025 discount for existing or new customers . If you sign up for an advance purchase of 4 news releases you will receive a 10 Percent discount. Regular price is $525 but your discounted price will be $472.50/each! Feel free to contact me about how AgNewsWire works and we'll help you reach our comprehensive list of ag media. AgWired and Energy. AgWired have also really kept us busy. Besides Cindy and me we've had 40 editors work for us and that includes interns, many of who are in high level jobs in ag media and agencies, and freelancers who have started their own companies. We can't say how thankful and proud for all of them So, that's what's on our minds as we contemplate the how/when/what and why of another year on the agriblogging highway. So, that's the ZimmCast. We hope you enjoyed it and thank you for listening.
