First notes from the PodCamp UK

Much of the first part of my experience of being at the PodCamp in Birmingham on Saturday was meeting people and talking to them and just getting to know what they’re doing - particularly in the podcasting field.
So, in no particular order, here are the ones who left me some information in terms of getting in touch with them on the Net.
Richard Rudin, who pointed out that his business card has a proofreading error on it: instead of broadcaster, he has broadaster. Richard has a bit of a webpage under his name, but he also has podcasts available. There aren’t many podcasts on the podcast section yet, but that’s because most of his work in this field in done in his role as teacher in journalism.
There was Christian who is one of the minds behind Documentally.com. You can see what he looks like here. Christian is a photographer by trade, but he’s now working as a consultant to people who are a few steps behind him , on the podcasting scene.
I have a business card from someone called Pete Cogle - sorry, Pete, but I can’t even remember what you and I were talking about, nor what you looked like. Too many faces and too many names! Anyway, open up this site, and someone will immediately start talking to you. I don’t think it’s Pete!
Then there was John Buckley, who was one of the organisers of the camp (I think - oh, dear, too much input, obviously!), who put me onto a site called dissidentvox.com. The blog part of this seems to focus on the political, mostly, but the podcasts - so John told me - relate more to a religious point of view. When I actually get a minute, I’ll have a listen! (Trying to catch up with all these podcasts is as bad as trying to read all the blogs out there.)
Paul Harrington, who’s a primary school teacher in Wales, put me onto podomatic, a place he listens to podcasts from a school in Pine Hill, Dunedin - the town I would normally live in if I wasn‘t in the UK. When I search podomatic for Jane in Room 5 (she’s a teacher at the school) I find that Tomahawk School is also producing podcasts. Small world.
And finally (for the moment) I learned about the Podcast User Magazine (now in its twentieth edition, as Linda E Mills from America told me). This magazine comes out in Adobe format, but also has podcasts made regularly available. I’ve just been checking out the latest issue, to see if I understood any of it (after my presence at the unconference). There are some 8.86 mb to the latest magazine, and even on wireless that took a while. However, it’s a professional-looking, has stuff for the newbies, good reviews, interesting articles - all you’d want in a decent mag.

Yeah I remember giving you my card! Lots of faces and names for sure.
My site PC Popdcast leads you to a twice weekly music show, and yes, the voice you heard at the start was a sponsor, but give it 10 seconds and I do come it with some great music. Hope you get a chance to listen and/or feedback.
Keep in touch
Pete
