Friday night at the 2015 UK Eastercon. Drinking some dreadful beer and watching a wonderful show. Saw the amazing Mr John Robertson performing, ‘The Dark Room’. Very shouty and completely immersive. Enjoyed it a lot.

Monday at the Eastercon where I am in a panel about virtual cons, we sing the praises of the con guidebook app and a whole bunch of
tweets seem to find their way into the podcast

It’s Saturday at the convention. Carrie and I man the dealer table.
Children and sandwiches are tortured. There’s a panel in the fan room about fanzines (whowouldathunkit) and there’s lots of desperate fun
We’re back at the Radisson Edwardian and it’s the usual maze of twisty passages all alike.
This is day one
of my Eastercon experience and it’s been one fraught with various difficulties but still, it’s great to be here again at SF fandoms grand weekend of play. Here is podcast number 2 but actually my arrival at the convention.

To create and post your podcast you need:
Audacity – to edit the podcast
Levelator – to sort out the levels if you’re pasting several files together
A microphone – I use a Samson Q1U
A microphone stand
A pop filter
There are some web sites that will help you out with public domain sounds and music:
www.pdsounds.org and freepd.com and musopen.org
Once you’ve recorded your podcast the file needs to be stored online. A fine free site is archive.org
You then need to create a blog on a site such as wordpress.com
Then open an account on Feedburner and paste your feed name into the box it provides here. It will also give you some boxes to fill in to make sure your feed is fine to go on Itunes.
On Itunes you need to go to the podcast section and you’ll see the words “submit a podcast”. This will also give you a little box to fill in. Your feed address goes in here – use the one that you got from feedburner rather than the original. Then, if you’re not logged in Itunes will ask for your log in information and ask you a few more questions about the podcast. You’ll shortly receive a message saying your podcast has been accepted and is awaiting approval. Approval usually just takes a couple of days.
