Thoughts from a Bafta nominated Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and Commentator.
Portable Media Expo, held in Ontario CA (2006, 2007).
Surprisingly, the “world’s first Podcasting conference” neglects to mention Britcaster’s PodCastCon Uk back in September which beat them to the punch. And reading between the lines of the spat between the organisers and the owners of PodShow, there’s some high level Dynasty/Dallas maneuverings going on.

Here we go again. Yes there’s PodcastConUK this weekend in London, and the All About Symbian Pub Meet and Smartphone Show in October, but I’m working on the next ‘mega-trip’ for the first half of November.
