Speaking at the Scottish Social Media Dinner

This Wednesday I’m through in Glasgow as one of the speakers at this month’s Scottish Social Media Dinner. The topic is podcasting, and the three speakers are described as:

Ewan Spence – who does podcasts on music, gaming, The Edinburgh Fringe and, IIRC, The Eurovision Song Contest and builds up really good audiences for them all on the way.

The Glasgow Podcart team who who produce – at not for profit – some of the most diverse and exciting podcasts in Scotland.

But the main attraction is going to Mark Gillespie who is a one-man band producing the phenomenal WhiskyCast. It’s been running weekly – with more than an hour of content each week – pulling in thousands of listeners for almost five years. Mark’s going to tell us about the journey he’s been on, the lessons he’s learned and pass on some tips too. What makes Mark’s achievements even more impressive is that whisky is a visual, tactile and taste-driven experience, yet his podcast is audio only.

In a delightful bit of timing, I’m posting this just as the deadline for tickets closes, but if you really really must, you can nudge Craig McGill over at Contently Managed for more details and arm twisting.
