Podcasters UN 2008

[Tee Morris]

Hello, everyone!

This is a call for one more INTERNATIONAL podcaster coming to Dragon*Con this year. As I am late to the party (Two book deadlines will do that to you...yes, I'm bragging...), let me fill you in on what this is...

The Podcasters UN is a panel spotlighting podcasts and podcasters outside of the United States borders. The panelists will be representing their countries as well as their respective podcasts. At the time of this posting, my panelists are:

Kinsey Swartz, Brazil (or is it spelled Brasil?)
Martyn Casserly, United Kingdom
Philippa Ballantine, New Zealand
Kurt Ambruster, Canada

I have room for one (possibly two) more international podcasters. I misplaced my e-mail between two potential Australian panelists (so, if you're out there, please ping me here!) but I wanted to put out a call for any podcasters coming in from outside the U.S.

The only American on the panel will be its moderator. That would be me.

PANEL CRASHING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. If I sound like I'm being hard on this issue, it's because I am. I had a crasher last year, and it didn't go over very well. That's not happening this year.

Please feel free to comment on this thread, post questions you'd like to hear given to the panelists, and I hope to see everyone in attendance. Thanks!

I'm actually an American, but I live in Brazil and am married to a Brazilian. :)

There will also be Richard Saunders as well, if you want someone from OZ. :)

I just noticed that on the schedule grid (http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pnLu7rzD5O8M3TSFQVG5KTA&output=html) I'm listed as "tvindy", which is my internet pseudonym, but I'd prefer to be listed under my real name "Kinsey Swartz". It's probably too late to change on the official schedule (my fault for not checking the spreadsheet earlier), but if we use nameplates this year, I'd like to ask to have one with my name. I've never used "tvindy" in association with Brazilianisms.

(Congratulations on printing "tvindy" correctly, though. Most people mess it up and type one of the following: Tvindy, TVindy, TVIndy or TV Indy.)
