Where Past Meets Future
As promised, here is a re-recording of the talk that I gave at the Museums Association Digital Dialogues conference. It is, of course, available as a podcast.
Feel free to comment here. If there’s interest, I’ll also post my presentation for people to download.

The latest issue (No. 11) of Podcast User Magazine contains an article entitled “Podcasting the Past” written by yours truly. It’s all about podcasting archaeology, and how Archaeocast came about.
So head over to http://podcastusermagazine.com/ and grab a copy (well, PDF) while they’re still hot!
This year, PodcastConUK will be held on Saturday 18 November 2006 at CCT Smithfield, London. If you’re in to podcasting - either as a listener or a producer, I urge you to go. I went last year, and it was fantastic - from meeting fellow podcasters, to hearing the varied talks, brainstorming, and discovering new podcasts. I went away with a brain buzzing with ideas, many of which have since come to fruition. Needless to say, I’ll be there this year too.
This year looks as if the format has changed from a series of talks, to a series of panels, allowing for a more interaction between participants. Each panel is to be lead by an established podcaster, and there will be a chance for workshops, equipment demonstrations, as well as live “podsafe” music.
Unlike many technology conferences, PodcastConUK is organised by a small team of volunteers, who are in it for the love of it rather than money. An event like this, for the podcasting community, by the podcasting community, is set to be the best yet.

I should have blogged about this a while ago, but my last post on niche podcasting reminded me about Podcast User Magazine. PUM is available electronically (PDF) and licensed under a Creative Commons license.
PUM is written by podcasters for podcasters, and covers everything from starting your first podcast, to publicity and studio tips. They’re up to issue 8 at the time of writing, and it’s well worth a read. If you’re already a podcaster, they also accept submissions from readers - a true participatory publication!
