On Black Friday, KTLK-FM, a news talk station in the Twin Cities, had Albert Maruggi and others in the studio to discuss Twitter and its impact on communication, politics, marketing and more.

The full discussion, with some news segments thrown in here and there, runs about 45 minutes. Unfortunately, there’s no particular Web page or post to point you to, but there is a podcast you can listen to — grab this .mp3 file.

The conversation covers an introduction to Twitter, some examples of how it’s used in real life, and some of the more dramatic examples of Twittering during a crisis. Albert even squeezed in a mention of Julio Ojeda-Zapata’s new book, “Twitter Means Business.”
