Seattle Podcasters Represent at the Podcast and Portable Media Expo
Saturday, September 30th, 2006
The Podcast and Portable Media Expo in Ontario, California has officially wrapped up. In two short days, lots of great podcasting information was shared and relationships formed. I was particularly excited to see so many techies from Seattle taking part in the event. Over the course of the expo, I bumped into Seattle podcasters Michael Lehman, Philip Lee, Leif Hansen, Eric Weaver, Ricardo Rabago, Scott Bourne, Rob Greenlee, Pete Grondal, Andrew Schlichting, Jake Ludington, Bre Pettis, and Stephen McCandless.
In addition to the expo, Ontario was also home to the second annual People’s Choice Podcast Awards. Expo goers gathered at the Marriott Friday night to watch podcasters being awarded by the most important judges of all, the audience. Pictured below are the Podcast Awards with Stephen Malaster of StreetIQ. StreetIQ sponsored the event by funding the trophies for the second year running. The list of winners is available on the Podcast Awards website.
September ’06 Seattle Podcaster Meetup – Zug Cam
Sunday, September 17th, 2006
The September Meetup of Seattle Podcasters was held on Tuesday the 5th at the Pyramid Alehouse in Seattle. Our guest speaker was Bryan Zug of eLearningSkinny.com and the Lucille Salter Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford. Bryan joined us virtually, through the magic of the Sightspeed videoconferencing software.
Despite some technical challenges with our video chat setup, Bryan laid the groundwork for a lively and freewheeling discussion about informal learning, the current state of new media tools, and the challenges of introducing podcasting and blogging into a traditional corporate setting. Bryan’s notes from his talk, including links to a number of screencasting tools are available here.
Thanks to Bryan and everyone who came out on the day after Labor Day to make it a great meetup! In attendance were:
