podcast woodstock, no I will not be there
I guess there is a big podcasting shin-dig going on in California this weekend. To tell you the truth, I just learned about it tonight! I haven't been able to keep up with anything on the internets these days.. So here I am drunk.. taking a break from my last minute edits on my new show.. and I learn about the event EVERYONE is going to.. I start to feel depressed, what kind of loser learns about THE event.. the night before.. (the kind of loser who does not get invited) but then.. I find some news coverage!
Burcell accused convention organizer Tim Bourquin of retaliating against Curry for refusing to sponsor the trade show or to speak at it. He also alleged that Bourquin had been bad-mouthing Curry and his company to podcasters who belong to a PodShow stable of talent known as the Pod Squad.
Bourquin flatly denied he's contacted any of PodShow's talent but acknowledged he questioned on the most recent episode of his Podcast Brothers show why PodShow hadn't sponsored the program and why Curry had declined to address the event. Bourquin said PodShow had demanded a free high-level sponsorship in exchange for some help with promotion and a speech by former MTV veejay and self-anointed "PodFather" Curry, but Bourquin said he rejected that offer because his event has become so popular he no longer felt he needed Curry as a headliner.
HARGH - Oh man, I think I'll wait for next years THE event...
