We had a good time chatting about the upcoming New Media Cincinnati Second Saturday. Direct download (mp3, 1:07:01, 61.4 MB).  Many thanks to all who participated live on the call, whether you were able to dial in or not.  Please check out the twitterstream from the chat.

Music

Through the magic of post-production, I added two songs:

The theme music used at the beginning and end is called “Surf Babe” from Alamantra. Thanks again to them for letting us use their music.

July 2009 Second Saturday Review

  • It was great to hear people share their experiences from Podcamp Ohio 2
  • Side conversations really got in the way from others hearing the speaker, not only in the room but also on UStream
  • The size of the group and the acoustics in the room mean that
    • Side conversations need to be taken away from the main discussion
    • We need a way to amplify whoever is speaking.
  • Meeting in a bar works well up to a certain point for structured discussions. For longer structured discussions, a conference room might be better.

August 2009 Second Saturday Format

  • Remember the “Scenes from a Hat” segments on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” (video below shows an example)
    • Several short questions submitted as you arrive
    • Could be specific or general
    • Anyone could offer thoughts – about 1 minute apiece

Next Steps

  • Look for the Eventbrite invitations via e-mail and at the website in the next day or so.
  • Contact me if you’d like to be added to the list.
  • Make plans to attend next Saturday’s event
