At Podcasters Across Borders last weekend, I made a pitch to try to encourage folks to join in the fray and start or contribute to episodes here. As it turns out, though I didn’t know it at the time (and was nervous enough not knowing so that’s a good thing), I was being filmed.

I’m working on some new and interesting ways for new and experienced podcasters to join in. Stay tuned for details.

Come on over to the google group and join in the discussion. Don’t be shy - go ahead and introduce yourself and just dive in. We’re all friendly people and love to help new folks get started. All you need is a microphone and an opinion.

In today’s episode, participants brought some of their favourite music to share and we have quite a variety from pop to punk to singer/songwriter.

John Meadows provided Up a Hill by Plunkett

Katherine Matthews provided Too Long by Yael Naim

Valerie provided The Ambers with Since Grade 2

Rob Lee brought us Bad Religion with Supersonic

Krash Coarse gave us Moot with That Bad Mistake

and Todd Tyrtle provided an archived recording of Kiteweather, Sage Tyrtle, and Badger with Waterfall and I Walk Where I Will

And I am full of excuses both good and bad but will spare you all. Instead I will let you know that I actually have all the pieces for not one but two episodes and have been procrastinating on the writing of intro/outro text and editing. I know, it’s stupid and will take about an hour for both. This weekend, for sure.

This is a call for new participants and a reminder to some of the existing ones. An episode is in the making that is to be the first of a four part series of episodes. The topic will be “local eating” and each participant is to try to implement local eating to whatever degree they are able (a dish, a meal, a day, or more). We will be recording on the equinoxes (spring/fall) and summer and winter solstices. While it might not look like it outside here in Canada, the first day of spring is only five days away so we need to get cracking!

Here are some details:
Date of first recording: March 20 (Feel free to fudge the day a little if it is easier to cook on the weekend)
Definition of local: I’ll leave that up to you but be reasonable.
Duration: 5-10 minutes has been par for the course
Format: 160 KBPS mp3 or better. Alternately those who are unable to record audio may provide text submissions - I can find a reader for you.
And then what? If you’re a member of the ning site, join the “Local Eating Four Part Episode” group and post your audio there attached to a forum message. If not, go ahead and join the ning site. Text contributors can email their contributions.

Please RSVP in the comments below (or in the ning group if you prefer) so I can guess at the length of the episode and assess the interest in the idea.

I’ll be joining as long as I can find a source for local food (I’ll be out of town that day).
