This podcast is the second in our ongoing series of bonus episodes.

This episode was done by well known author and podcaster Tee Morris as part of his The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy podcast.

Enjoy!

As we mentioned on our last episode this podcast is the first in our series of bonus episodes that we’re going to occasionally share.

This episode was done by well known author and podcaster Mur Lafferty as part of her Geek Fu podcast series.

This episode was originally published in 2006 and the information Mur shares is valuable for both new and experienced con attendees.

Enjoy!

Here is the long overdue episode #3 where Kevin and Derek discuss why this show was late and we start to discuss preparation for the con!

We had our first Staff meeting this past Sunday at the Hyatt. At the meeting we all received our room assignments, and some updates on the re-modeling that has plagued Dragon*Con for the past 3 years. The Podcasting Track room will be on the 2nd Floor of the Hilton Downtown Atlanta Hotel. It will be right next to the Henry Room, which was the same room as the Science Room was last year.  As of Sunday, there were still a  FEW remaining Con-Rate rooms at the Hilton and the Sheraton. There are no rooms left at the Hyatt, there are only a couple left at the Marriott, but no con-rate rooms left there.  More updates to come in the next few days. From this point on… it will all seem downhill FAST!  

Come and join us for another year at Dragon*Con for four days of Podcasting Fun and Learning. Once again the events will include popular podcasters doing live shows, panels on the tech behind podcasting, and the Annunal Parsec Awards, as well as the Podcast Peer Awards!
