Fun Things That are time sensitive:
Podcasts
Continue to follow Dragon Con Podcasts! This week’s podcast has been delayed a few days because of the website move, but we will have it out by the weekend, and another one by Monday!
But, that’s not what we are talking about. Instead we are talking about podcasting from Dragon Con Media Relations’ Room.
- This year we will have Wifi, but only for reporters who have signed up for Podcast Space. We have a very limited number of IPs available, so please only use the Wifi when you are actively podcasting.
- Sign up before August 29 with your preferred timeslots and you will be assigned a time for your podcast.
- There will be ambient noise, but if your equipment and your settings are up to the task, this should not be a problem and will add to the “live feel.”
