 4TSOTS with Jody Gnant [30:38m]: Play in Popup | Download (3280)
Last summer, I attended Podcamp Boston. While Zina (from the Secrets of Battlestar Galactica Podcast) and I were walking in downtown Boston heading for lunch, we saw a beautiful young lady walking down the street talking into laptop held in front of her. It turned out that she streams her whole life on the Internet. Later at podcamp, I ran into her again and introduced myself. She is Jody Gnant and she has an amazing story to tell about indie marketing over the net. She actually traded one year’s rent on her house in Phoenix to Kyle MacDonald from one red paperclip for studio time to complete her album. We talked at the end of a long day at Podcamp Boston about songwriting, new media, and took questions from her live streaming audience. Check out her music and lifecast at jodygnant.com.

Free is Good- Podcamp London Talk [45:38m]: Play in Popup | Download (987)
Podcamp London was held on April 28, 2009. It was a wonderful gathering of podcasting, tech and social media enthusiasts from throughout central Ontario. Kudos go to Bill, Titus, Will and all the organizers of the event.
John Meadows of the On the Log podcast and I presented a session at Podcamp London entitled: Free is Good about free and open source audio production and podcasting tools. Here are the audio and the slides of that session. (Click on the slide to advance)

Here’s a little roundup of my podcasting activity for 2007.
I have released 40 Episodes of For the Sake of the Song thus far and have about 9 ready to go in the upcoming weeks.
On the weekend of October 28, I was feeling sorry for myself that I wasn’t at Podcamp Boston 2 so I called several of my friends who were at Podcamp Boston and released about 4 Podcamp Boston Special Reports.
These reports evolved into a regular podcast for Podcamp Toronto with Connie Crosby. We have currently produced 6 Episodes of the Podcamp Toronto Podcast leading up to the event on February 23 and 24.
I produced a Podcamp Toronto audio promo to use on your podcast here.
2007 Also saw the release of my recording of my brother-in-law, Drew Beatty’s novel, White Trash Land, on Podiobooks.com . It has done fairly well for Andrew there.
I’ve continued to record audiobooks with Librivox.org and I continue to be a semi-regular host for the Librivox Community Podcast. Here is a list of the 15 podcasts I hosted for Librivox in 2007.

In November I was asked to give a presentation on listening to and creating podcasts at the Penetanguishene Public Library. Here are my slides and notes.

What is a Podcast?
-
From: http://podcasts.culture.ca
-
A podcast is an audio or video media file that is made available on the Internet; it is much like a radio show or a video that you can listen to or watch on demand, either on your computer or — if you transfer it — on a portable media player.
-
Equipped with a microphone and recording software, just about anyone can make a podcast.

Episode 37: 2007 in Review [64:22m]: Play in Popup | Download (1740)
This Week, I thought I would do an End of year Round-up of For the Sake of the Song and replay some of the great music I’ve featured this year. It was tricky picking just 12 or 13 songs. Since March, I have recorded 45+ episodes of For the Sake of the Song. If each song had 3 or 4 songs, thats over 120 songs to choose from. This is episode 37, so you can see from above that I already have a number of shows ready for 2008. Upcoming guests include John Lunman, Peter Judd , The Undesirables, Trout Fishing in America, Mark Blevis, Manitoba Hal, Pork Belly Futures and Chris Yale.
I have also continued to be a regular contributor to the Librivox Community Podcast and have started a podcast for Podcamp Toronto. In 2007, I produced about 60 podcast episodes, and I’m not sure how many chapters and poems for Librivox.

Podcamp Boston Special Report #4 [10:10m]: Play in Popup | Download (1556)
I called Bill Deys of the Deyscast, Country Music Cast, and host of the Podcamp Boston back chat room shortly after Podcamp wrapped up. We spoke of the announcement that Podcamp is lifting Rule #4 that all podcamps be free to participants. This may help reduce the number of people who register for Podcamps but do not show up. We also talked about how I am an Internet Visionary. Three weeks ago I posted LOLephants on my Catholic Canadian blog, with lolcat captions on pictures of me. It included this picture of me running? from a T-Rex. 
As often happens at conferences like this, a bunch of people had a crazy idea about LOLCats with dinosaurs. Before the end of the conference, Nico Pin had developed a website design, they had registered the domain and lolsaur.com was born.
I think it’s so cool that I had a similar idea three weeks earlier. Way to go guys. Bill handed the phone to Nico at this point. Nico and I talked about the ongoing discussion around having wifi at conferences like this. On the one hand, it’s a boon to people like me who can’t physically be at the conference, but can still participate via the Internet. On the other hand, it can detract from the SOCIAL part of social media– actually meeting the people you have encountered on the internet.
I hope you enjoyed my remote coverage of Podcamp Boston as much as I enjoyed creating it. Thanks to Mark, Bob, Nico, Jay and Bill for taking the time to talk with me.
Oh and I WILL be at Podcamp Toronto on February 23 and 24.
