At Podcamp

Great energy.

Great crowd.

Our session went well. Good response from the crowd and great questions.

There's a party tonight at Slate on W21st.

I'm in New York

If you are at Podcamp and you want to attend our session, it's at 11 AM in the Central Park Meeting room.

Podcamp NYC

There's an article in the New York Sun.

Oh, by the way, Foneshow is a (small) sponsor of Podcamp NYC.

More Podcamp NYC Info

Great news. Podcamp NYC has just switched venues. They had maxed out the space at The New School so the organizers got a bigger space at The New Yorker Hotel at 481 8th Avenue at 34th Street.

So now you have no excuse not to come. Register now! Nic and I will be presenting Foneshow and talking about mobile podcasting (time TBA), come on by and join in.

Also... Just a quick shout out to John Havens who has done an awesome job putting this thing together.

More Press Mentions

This time from Podtech.net.

John Ince interviewed me at Podcamp San Francisco about a month ago. I had totally forgotten I did this interview until we were adding Podtech content feeds to Foneshow and my name popped up.

Podcamp West

A big thanks to Vic Podcaster and everyone who helped set up and contributed to Podcamp West. We presented our product on Sunday afternoon and had a great response from the podcasting community, a response that generated lots of great questions and bunches of new ideas.

Thanks to everyone, and keep in touch.

Getting Ready for Podcamp

I've got a busy week coming up...

Wednesday afternoon I fly down to New York. I've got several meetings on Thursday. Nic and I are going to the TechCrunch NYC party on Thursday night. Friday morning (at 6:45 AM, ouch) I'm off to to California for Podcamp West in San Francisco. We've got bunches of meetings set up with podcasters who want to use the platform (although we're always looking to talk to more...). At the un-conference we're going to be slowly opening up the beta to the public.

I'll be out in California for T-Giving with the family, and then spending the week after the turkey feast catching up with my SiliValley friends.

We've been getting a fair amount of attention from VCs recently. While we love to expand our network and chat about the product, we're really focused on execution right now. Our capital needs are minimal and the focus is on the product; we're trying to avoid distractions. We're not really looking for a large investment at this time. So outside of a quite small investment (100-200K), we're not currently in the market.

If you want to get together in the bay area, drop me an e-mail (if you want to get together in NYC, we can try, but the schedule is really tight).

Podcamp West

We're going to Podcamp West in San Francisco on November 18th and 19th. We currently anticipate (but do not guarantee) that we will be opening up our beta to the public at that time.

From the Podcamp Website:
PodcampWest is Free BarCamp style UnConference, for bloggers and readers, podcasters and listeners, VideoBloggers and new media of all types. PodcampWest is free to attend and was inspired by PodCamp Boston. Continuing the momentum, we are bringing PodCamp to the West Coast, the hub of tech activity.

We hope to see you all there.
