Podcrafters and ACE
Podcrafters is involved in the Authors Convention and Exhibition of 2010.
Organized by Cookie Island’s Jilly Kidd, it is a week of poetry reading, presentations by authors and answers to questions about recording (Podcrafters specialty!) Oh, and don’t forget the dances!
I (Arlene Radasky aka Imarad Breen) was there on Monday and answered all sorts of questions about podcasting. I handed out a note filled with information and will do the same again tomorrow. I hold on tight as the convention is on an orbiting sphere and you can see space through the floor! But we seem to be learning and enjoying the week so far!
