There are three more sleeps until PAB2012, the seventh and final PAB conference. Despite its origins and what the letters of the name may suggest to you, the conference is (and in many ways has always been) about creativity, content creation, audience engagement and community building. One of the main takeaways of the annual conference [...]
One day before PAB2007 was to kick off, Jeff Parks fell ill. Bob and I decided that I would take the vacancy and pull together a replacement presentation. In my session, I challenged the community to engage their audience with atmosphere and ambience in their audio recordings and productions; to take risks and think beyond [...]
The latest version of the Canadian Podcast Buffet features an audio collage of PAB2007 speakers and panelists to kick off the show. In my haste to edit and publish CPB I left a number of speakers out of the collage. This morning I completed the collage, republished CPB and made the PAB2007 tribute available on [...]
The Canadian Podcasting Legal Guide was unveiled by Andy Kaplan-Myrth and Kathi Simmons at Podcasters Across Borders and is now available for download (in html and pdf) from the Creative Commons Canada site. The presentation by Andy and Kathi will be available for download on the Canadian Podcast Buffet in the next two weeks.
Episode 71 of the Canadian Podcast Buffet has been published which means that season two is officially over. For the next two months, all of the official PAB2007 conference audio will be released through the Canadian Podcast Buffet while Bob and I recharge. Season three kicks off in September.
I thought PAB2007 would end and I would be able to return to a normal life. Not so. I have been constantly thinking about what I’ve learned from the conference, about conference planning, and how we even planned this thing in the first place. You can expect a number of posts as a result. Here [...]
I have a few posts that I’m working on as part of my reflections on and wrap-up of PAB. I’ve been slower to get them together than I had hoped. In the meantime, I found this fantastic group photo taken with Jim Milles’ camera (Bruce Murray may have been the photographer). I love this picture. [...]
Okay… this is a bit embarrassing. The students of Central Public School apparently thought that since the planning for the PAB2007 book drive took place using the “Just One More Book” email account, the conference was about “Just One More Book”. D’oh!
Andrea and I arrived in Kingston about 45 minutes ago. We had a great time listening to James Whittingham’s coverage of PAB2007 with Bruce Murray on the way in. I wonder if he’ll be calling me. I have checked out the conference facilities. Everything is in place and ready to go. The sound guy is [...]
Sean McGaughey has tagged me with a meme he’s kicked off this evening: The un-official Podcasters Across Borders Meme. Here are my responses. Why are you coming to PAB? The easy answer is that I co-organized the event. The easier answer is that it’s going to be the best time anyone can have Podcasting and [...]
The June 6 issue of Ottawa Life Magazine has identified “Blues Guitar Sensation” Robert Farrell as one of Ottawa’s top 50 people. Click here to see the write-up. Robert is performing at The Merchant Tap House on June 23 as part of the Podcasters Across Borders 2007 conference in Kingston, Ontario. The concert is open [...]
Two weeks from this exact moment, the PAB2007 party will be going strong. “Old” friends will be reunited and new friendships will be underway. It will probably seem like we’ve all known each other for as long as we can remember. I’m writing figuratively, not about the effects of alcohol. And since I’m writing figuratively, [...]
