In late October, 2007, a "Compellingly Attractive Chapter Meetings" workshop was held in Richmond, Virginia.
Dean Martin, at that time President of the Frederick, MD Chapter, was among the participants. Dean maintains a Barbershopping podcast website: www.singingbarbershop.com. He interviewed workshop facilitator Chuck Greene the week after the workshop and posted the interview on the website.

Dean entitled the interview "Revitalizing the Barbershop Harmony Society." Topics explored include:

research on causes of chapter and Society decline;
development and beta-testing of turn-around strategies;
workshop teaching and training methods;
core premises of and activities for building a thriving chapter;
a pathway for Society revitalization.

A few notes:

1. The interview has popular value—over 1400 downloads in the first 8 months.
2. Information brought up is still current with one exception: some workshop follow-up methods
     are referred to that have been replaced by different methods.
3. The sense and feel of the interview is positive, uplifting and hopeful.
