thoughts on podcamp

Old friends, we have sought out a place to meet,
Now we chat by the window until
The candles burn out.
Talking and laughing together,
Our faces are happy
And our hearts serene.
This friendship is as pure as water;
We jot down our poems
With strong brushwork. **

- Monchu (1739-1829)

Z2P: From Zero to Podcasting in Two Days

I should have mentioned this earlier, but I'm fighting off a bit of a bug and find myself slow to get to things.

Z2P:  From Zero to Podcasting, is a two-day session that will be part of PodCamp Toronto 2008 (February 23 and 24, 2008 -- click on the link in my sidebar for more information), and will be especially interesting for those who are curious about podcasting and how to go about creating their own podcast. Even for experienced podcasters, there will be some useful opportunities to both learn from the experiences of others and to help others by sharing your own experiences.

In addition to the campfire talks, there will be technical workshops (including some “hands-on” sessions) presented by Mark Blevis and Bob Goyetche of the Canadian Podcast Buffet. Whether you’re a total noob wanting to know how to start podcasting or are already podcasting and want to improve your game, their workshops will have something for you.

Also bringing their podcasting experience to the campfire talks / circle discussions will be Sage Tyrtle of Quirky Nomads, the Scarborough Dude of DicksnJanes, and Michelle Sullivan of the Aquinas8788 Podcast.

Rob and I will be along to help out and offer up what we can, too -- and we're looking for others to come out and bring their experience to the circle discussions.  We all have a range and wealth of experience to bring to the table, we all work in different ways.  And, you know, the more, the merrier.  Contact me if you're interesting in participating, and I'll add you to the list.
