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 .
