Listen to the Latest Episode of the Pagan Centered Podcast™

Dave will be on Pagans Tonight… bow chicka bow wow!

Actually, Dave of PCP will be a guest on the nightly show by Witch School called Pagans Tonight. Tune in or call-in live starting at 10pm Eastern at PagansTonight.com. Topics of discussion will include the Proud Pagan Podcasters (PPP).

Many of you who routinely seek Pagan news may be familiar with the respectable Examiner.com. Our coverage of Pagan Values as part of Pagan Values Month was mentioned in a news article in the Manchester Paganism Examiner. W00t, and thanks again to Dave of Ravencast, Geoffrey and everyone else who participated in our 3-part values series. We’ll certainly have to revisit that topic in the future.

Here’s a recording of tonight’s Pagan Newswire Collective meeting, including Dave of PCP and Amber of PCP as participants. This marks our first expedition into recorded video:

Why Things Suck

Saw this article up on Fark. I find it sad because it makes sense and I have a feeling they’re right.

Finally, we will be recording this Friday!

Those joining via chat can still login using their UStream.tv accounts, but we now also accept Facebook, Gmail, Google, OpenID and Yahoo as methods of logging into the chatroom. You still can’t login using your forum login though :/.

We have also resurrected live call-ins, now powered by FreeConferencing.com, at the incessant requesting by PCP super fan Nick, currently training to serve in our armed forces! The bandwidth impaired can now also call-in to a separate phone number to listen to us live via phone! Major kudos to the folks at FreeConferencing.com for passing our tests for lag that basically made us kill off Talkshoe. Let’s see how well they do with a real PCP episode!

Information on how to call in is available at http://live.PaganCenteredPodcast.com.

This week we are returning from PSG with Dave ranting about the awesomeness of PSG and inviting Star Foster of Patheos.com, who did most of the interviews you’re hearing on PCP’s coverage of PSG, to discuss PSG from the comfort of our climate-controlled permanent dwellings. Then a rant about white people and tribes followed by a guide to Pagan groups about writing guidelines. Oh, and more Dave rants and followups, check it all out at:

Hour of Misquotes

Just a random hour of misquotes and random off-topic discussion that “hit the floor” during editing of episodes of PCP during seasons 15 and 16.

PCP: The Conference

Like all PCP ideas, this idea has gone through:

- Rhetorical exhaustion-induced comment
- Hmm, that’d be interesting
- The resources to do this exist and we have access to them
- We can actually do this!

This time, it’s PCP: The Conference. Well, as far as the actual conference goes, PSG has very awesome content and we (the PNC) left a great impression on the organizers. We could probably work out a partnership where presenters could authorize recordings of their presentations. This year, we got 10 hours of content. Presentations at PSG are 30-90 minutes each, so it’s easy to duplicate that next year. But why limit ourselves to PSG? There are other great conferences like Pantheacon and all around the country.

How are we getting the audio? Pagan Newswire Collective is seriously pondering a festival crew for covering festivals. The PCP crew would need to pitch in with post-production and back-end efforts so we can get first dibs on the audio and keep a good relationship with the PNC so we can use their resources.

This means if we hit 10 festivals a year, we’d have 52 hours of content per year at least. This means we could start another “channel” here at the PCP website. Perhaps we could call it something like the Pagan Conference Podcast (PCP2) or something like that. Inevitably we would have more content than can fit once per week, but we could adjust the podcast to accommodate our post-production abilities accordingly.

So, there we have it. Real in-person conferences. They’re all around the country so we avoid the “where should it be” problem. These are existing conferences, so poor Amber can just focus on the annual pow-wow rather than organizing a PCP conference. And, when geography permits, the PCP crew can show up and not organize anything other than maybe a live on-site PCP recording.

Wow, this could actually happen. What does everyone think? If we have folks at a festival that sucks, well that’s just great fodder for the Pagan Centered Podcast :D .

I think the idea rocks. I think you should engage in guerrilla podcasting at random events. Like Billy Graham speeches.

why I may not be part of the crew….. I will offer any services necessary. even if it means being the driver. course, if i’m the driver, something needs to go into the tank.
