I attended a Digital Media VIP gathering today put together by Peggy Miles of Intervox Communications.
This exclusive invitation-only event features presentations and discussions of how digital media is altering the way campaign contests are waged and covered from the November state/local elections to the 2008 presidential and congressional campaigns.
Gathering of political officials/staff, pundits, campaign officials/staffs, columnists, bloggers, media executives, digital media experts, marketing and campaign managers who are involved in utilizing the digital media world and understanding its effectiveness.
There was an astounding level of new media presence and genius there and I feel so much more educated and motivated by having attended.
Thank you so much Peggy for bringing so many great minds together. I’m looking forward to the next event.
My audio poetry podcast Cloudy Day Art, along with other members of the Association of Poetry Podcasting, were featured in an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Podcast options aplenty for poetry
Type the word poetry into a podcast directory search and you’ll get about 140 results, often more. Some poetry podcasts are based at institutions and have money behind them, such as Poetry Off the Shelf, which is produced by the Poetry Foundation, the publisher of Poetry magazine. Likewise, Jim Lehrer of the PBS program NewsHour hosts a poetry series that features readings and interviews with nationally known poets.
But individuals with an interest in poetry have found the medium accessible enough for them to make programs, too. From bedrooms and laptops around the world people are recording podcasts, registering them with directories such as iTunes, promoting them, and garnering a listenership - all for very little money.
Thanks to Katie Haegele for contacting us and conducting the interviews. We really appreciate the exposure she gave to poetry podcasting. Awesome!
