You Shall Know Us By Our Velocity: Making Sense of it All presented by Neil Gorman

Neil blogs at neilgorman.org.

Last year, Neil wowed the room with his “Your Podcast is Not Toaster” presentation – his first presentation… EVER. The truth of the matter is we had no idea what Neil was going to talk about at PAB2008. Nor did he. Neil’s job as conference ‘closer’ was to sum up the important ideas and events of the conference, and toss in some of his own profound thoughts that were not already covered.

Neil delivered.

When Neil talks, workplaces shouldn’t listen.

It Takes Two: co-hosting is twice the fun for your Audience! presented by Jack Ward and Shannon Hilchie

Jack and Shannon produce The Sonic Society.

Burns and Allen, Abbott and Costello, Jekyll and Hyde; when it comes to hosting, the word co-host brings twice the interactions, twice the possibility for conflict, twice the fun and more often than not, twice the listenership.

Shannon Hilchie and Jack Ward look at some of the great elements of how co-hosting a show becomes more entertaining, and rewarding on both sides of the microphone than playing it solo – scripting versus unscripting; sharing the work; contrasts and similarities, as well as someone just to help keep the ball rolling on course.

What Public Broadcasters Can Learn from Podcasters, and Vice-Versa presented by Nora Young and Dan Misener.

Nora and Dan produce and host CBC Radio’s Spark.

In many ways, radio and podcasting are similar. In many ways, they are different. But both have a lot to learn from one another.

Using CBC Radio’s Spark as a case study, Dan and Nora highlight some of the techniques and strategies cribbed from their podcasting experience and applied to their day jobs in public radio.

Using real-life examples punctuated with audio, Dan and Nora will cover:

• Matching form and content – using the tools of web 2.0 to talk about web 2.0
• Showing your seams to break down the fiction of radio — it’s neither live nor perfect
• Planning your show to create a conversation before, during, and after release
• Beyond show notes — posting raw audio to add value and subscribers to your blog
• Crowdsourcing content with blogs and wikis
• Using Creative Commons music to make your show both pod-and-broadcast safe

Jay Moonah – PAB2008
Uploaded by Financial Aid Podcast

Time, Space, Media, Messages and Your Podcast presented by Jay Moonah.

Jay produces the Media Driving podcast.

Though both lived and worked in an era long before the ubiquitous computing and always-on Internet we often take for granted today, great Canadian media thinkers Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan have a heck of lot to teach us about podcasting and new media. Their ideas on communication permanence vs. portability and tools for thinking about emerging media technologies in terms of existing ones are often more relevant now then ever. Learn why the medium is, in fact, the message.

What Are the Limits? presented by John Meadows and Scarborough Dude.

John produces On The Log and Scarborough Dude produces DicksnJanes.

Podcasting is often envisioned as a means of going beyond the confines of conventional media, but podcasters still face many limits, real and/or imagined.

This presentation explores the various sources of these limits, the power they can hold over us, and the challenges we face in overcoming them. While many restrictions at first glance may appear to be externally imposed, many, if not most, originate within ourselves.

Using discussion, audio video clips, and real life examples, “the Dude” and John don’t promise to come up will all, or even any of the answers, but expect participants will leave with a better understanding of how their own attitudes and barriers impact their podcasts.
