Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of unfun and unproven mingling techniques who are becoming more than a little nervous… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

When Jeanne Martinet told me she had rewritten and revised more than 50 percent of her 1992 guide, The Art of Mingling: Fun and Proven Techniques for Mastering Any Room, I had to admit I was curious.

As an author myself, I think if I had that much new content to offer, I would have leaned toward an entirely new title. After all, the original Art of Mingling had already sold more than 150,000 copies. Wouldn’t her many fans support a new title over the revision of an older one?
JEANNE MARTINET podcast excerpt: "The old rule in Victorian days used to be that safe subjects were the weather and your health. That was the line. But both of these subjects now lead directly to politics. The weather leads directly to globe warming and your health to (Obamacare). I do have some techniques in 'The Art of Mingling' for defusing political situations. Don't talk politics unless you know you're not with a fanatic. You don't want to argue at a party."

On the other hand, she does seem to have focused in on how mingling has changed over the years – damn you, Facebook! – and there is probably an entirely new generation out there to be reached with content such as:

• Step-by-step instructions for performing entrance maneuvers such as the Fade-In and the Flattery Entrée;

• Escape techniques such as the Human Sacrifice, the Changing of the Guard, and the Cell-Out;

• How to execute the Hors D’oeuvres Maneuver
