LA Times, Podcast Guest; Final Thoughts on Portable Media Expo

This is a Flickr badge showing photos in a set called Portable Media and Podcast Expo '05. Make your own badge here.

A great event for sure, especially for the first year.  Big kudos to founder Tim Bourquin and all of his staff.

I would expect that this will grow quite a bit for next year as well as have plenty of other businesses and media suits checking it out.

Some of the highlights:

• The 2 themes of the event were "Passion" and "Content" (Attention!  The majority of podcasters understand both of these!)
• Meeting podcasting friends face to face (too many to list, but you can check out the photos to see just a few)
• The Thursday night "unofficial launch party" featuring Brother Love and Chance
• All of the panels, especially the "monetizing" ones.  FYI, no one quite has this figured out, but expect a number of podcast "networks" in the next few months.  Note:  there will be plenty of these netorks that fail as competition for talent and dollars begins

The LA Times printed an article about the panel I moderated.  Check it out here.

Also, I was a guest on my brother's podcast over the weekend discussing the Expo.  You can download the interview here (.mp3, 33 minutes, 40 seconds).
