Batting Cleanup at Podcamp Ohio

I'll be spending most of today putting the finishing touches on the presentation I'll be giving tomorrow afternoon at Podcamp Ohio.  According to the most current draft of the day's schedule I'll take the stage at 4:00 PM to present "Dude, Your Podcast Sucks: Six Steps to a More Powerful Podcast." The focus of my discussion will be on how to use some of the tips, tricks and techniques of professional speakers in order to produce effective and entertaining podcasts. It should be a good time, especially since I'm trying out a new opening that, assuming it works as planned, should be a lot of fun for everyone.

Since I live about 4 hours from Columbus, and the event begins at 9:30 AM, I'm in for a very long day. But there are sessions I want to attend and plenty of people I want to meet so I'll be hitting the road before 5AM in order to not miss a beat. I've been following the planning of this one through both the Podcamp Ohio site and the Podcamp Ohio Twitter feed and it's certainly shaping up to be an excellent event. They've got everything covered - from schwag to eats to providing space to escape the insanity if you find the need. I definitely appreciate the work the organizers have put in up to this point and will be surprised if the event isn't a rousing success.
