It’s good to talk about the “third most blogged about city.”

Additionally, he shares about “Something to be Desired,” the local video series provided online, at http://stbd.tv

You can find Justin, at his blog, Cafe Witness.

Take a few minutes and listen–it’s short!

We talked about how podcasting works, and what our favorite podcasts are. In fact, we both have enjoyed Teaching for the Future with Dave LaMorte. Chris mentions the “Something to be Desired” online TV show produced in Piitsburgh, and politely gives a plug for The Father Son Chats.

We talk about Chris’ social media group, Grasshoppers that is there to answer the question “How can I be helpful?”

How can podcasting be useful for students, or educators? We talk about that as well.

After his presentation, he asked if he could interview me about my experiences at PodCamp as part of his documenting the weekend. I, of course, agreed!

Go watch it at Alex’s Site!

Enjoy, and be sure to visit his site for other interviews from the weekend.

Old media coverage of the New Media! (Well, they covered it in print–and used their own new media to post it on their websites!)

What is Pixel Corps?

pixel Corps is a community of video and audio producers, helping each other, and working together to collaborate in not only training and education but also the practical aspects of production and even with jobs!

Generally, the discussion centered around how Pixel Corps works with digital effects, to include greenscreening and rotoscoping.  As an example, they talked about Ryan vs Dorkman (a grassroots video with light saber effects.)

What is TalkShoe? Enables anyone to create, join or listen to LIVE, Interactive, podcasts… (and is a local Pittsburgh PA Company!) For those that listen to the most popular podcaster today (Leo Laporte) he uses this for many of his podcasts, most noteably, Net@Night with Amber McArthur.

  • Podcast
  • live audio streaming
  • live chat
  • takes CALLS

Who is using TalkShoe? Talkcasters. I mentioned Leo and Net@Night (id 3185), but also

  • Geeza (live commentary DVD viewing… Wow!) (talkshoe ID 8230)
  • Scott and Kris – The Power Hour, they are comics writers (talkshoe id 5809)
  • Bill Alexander – The NETIO Show (id 1832) He broadcasted last night at the restaurant!
  • Cliff Ravenscraft – GSPN.tv (is 5138)
  • Adam Christianson – The Maccast (id 17436)
  • The Grasshoppers (id 43023) Chris Brogan runs this one! People helping people! How cool!)
  • Tech Podcasts Roundtable (id 3254)

So why do TalkShoe he asks?

  • Connect with audience
  • Format change
  • meet people with common interests (miniatures? Doll Houses?)
  • form friendships
  • content that lasts
  • build communities
  • have fun!

HOW do we do this?

  • Sign up (user ID, Pin, and install the software)
  • Click “Create” button…
  • Call In to the show…
    • With Skype (using skypeOut)
    • VOIP (SJ Phone, Gizmo Project)
    • ShoePhone (Talkshoe’s built in VOIP)
    • POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service!)
  • Click on Record.

It’s that simple.

How much does it cost?

$0.00 (And that is in Canadian dollars… the conversion to Euros is… 0.00)

In FACT they PAY you–$50 for the first 10 episodes, and pay per download after that. How cool is THAT?

NEXT RELEASE: Codename: “Tokyo” ETA 10 Sept 07

===================================

How cool is this? My son and I are thinking it might be a great way to make our football conversations a bit more interactive, and get more people involved. Really helps us connect with the audience. That CAN’T be a bad thing!

How can I use this in education? Imagine a “virtual study group” hosted through podcast–where students can call in and ask questions, and the professor can answer.

How about a call in show to leaders in Supply Chain? Wouldn’t you love a chance to pick the brains of the movers in logistics and supply chain?

Again, how cool…

Points of Interest:

  • WordPress is great
  • PodPress is a great add in for WordPress (we use both of those here.)
  • I mentioned 1and1.com as our provider, but some people have had customer service issues

More later

He talked about tips for presenting.

My favorite points?

  • Big Pictures, few Words
  • The presentation is about You, and the Audience
  • It’s NOT the slides/deck
  • PowerPoint is NOT MS WORD

Oh, and one more thing–while he is from Boston, he is a big PENN STATE FAN! And he would love a PSU t-shirt, for those that want to send him one!

]]> http://theprofessornotes.com/archives/216/feed 3 PodCamp Pittsburgh! http://theprofessornotes.com/archives/215 http://theprofessornotes.com/archives/215#comments Sat, 18 Aug 2007 12:05:54 +0000 Steve Brady http://theprofessornotes.com/archives/215 It’s started, and we are here! (and it’s going LIVE today!) My Son and I arrived last evening to the optional “mixer” and got a chance to meet many of the podcasters here in Pittsburgh, but in addition, we met photoshop experts, other media creators, bloggers, vloggers, and the general digital community from Pittsburgh.

My son got to meet others who are interested in many of the same things he is (football, photoshop, and podcasting) and is enjoying sharing about our blog and what we are doing.

I think we may even take the Zoom H4 with us and record some conversations with other podcasters. Stick around, you might here something you like!

If you get a chance, visit their site, join the virtual camp, and if you are from Pittsburgh, COME ON DOWN!

Why my son?  Well, if you haven’t already made it over there, he and I have our own little podcast, “The Father Son Chats.”  It’s mostly about Penn State football, because he is amazing at breaking down the team, but we do occasionally talk about other things.   Go visit there, and check out some of the graphic work he has been doing as well.

Let me know if any of you are attending and we can plan to get “un-together” and have an “un-chat” about all things podcasting!  I am planning on bringing some of my equipment, so perhaps we can even have an interview or three!

Also, since so many people prefer to call rather than type, I have decided to try out this free voicemail service!   If you want to try it out, just call my new voicemail number, and let me know what you like about the blog or the podcasts, or hey–leave a request for a topic you would like to have me rant about!

The number is:

206-339-4715

Let me know what you think!
