The mission of The Barb Wire is to provide listeners with real conversations with key personalities in the jewelry industry.

Hosted by Barbara Palumbo, well-known writer, speaker and jewelry industry blogger (Adornmentality.com, Whatsonherwrist.com), The Barb Wire first and foremost aims to avoid the arid nature of many instruction-oriented business podcasts and webinars.

Instead, The Barb Wire offers engaging personal discussions with influential players shaping the future of jewelry retail. Says Palumbo, describing her podcast: “I don’t want to do interviews that sound like they were based on a batch of Power Point slides. Instead, each episode of this podcast should be more like having lunch with a couple industry friends, after a round of Negronis … or two or three.”
