The tentative podcasting track schedule is now available here…

http://www.dragon-pod.com/schedule.php

Please keep in mind that, as usual, it is subject to change right up until the con.

If you haven’t purchased your 2009 Dragon*Con membership yet the fee goes up after July 15th.

The membership fees goes up from the current fee of $90 to $100 after July 15th.

You have until June 7th, 2009 to submit your favorite podcasts for consideration in the annual Parsec Awards.

The Parsecs are given to celebrate excellence in Speculative Fiction podcasting. Anyone can submit a podcast for consideration in several categories and then a committee will narrow down the list for judging by a panel of experts. You need only submit a podcast once since these are judged awards and there is no fan voting.

To submit a podcast just visit this page…

Derek and Kevin are back with our first podcast of 2009!

Some of the things we discuss include the continued growth of the con, location changes for some events in 2009, the special Dragon*Con night at the Georgia Aquarium and much more!

** Correction **

After we published this episode Regina Kirby, Dragon*Con’s Senior Director of Programming, contacted us to correct some of the information we shared about bands. She said…

“The bands will not be at the Sheraton. They will continue to play at the Hyatt and Marriott and their tables will be at the Marriott. The FAN tables will be split between the Sheraton and the Hyatt.”
