I attended Podcamp NYC in New York City last weekend and had an absolute blast. Imagine a free “unconference” with over 700 podcasters, bloggers and fans wandering around. Not only that, but a number of people had heard the show. Christopher S Penn, one of the founders of the Podcamp movement actually told me he’d been polling listeners on Linkedin about which business podcasts they listen to and CMM is high on the list! Chris, by the way hosts The Financial Aid podcast and is a huge proponent of podcasting. Believe me that I learned a lot from his session on marketing.
I spoke at the conference. Here are a couple of links from people who attended the sessions. Lynne Marie Bailey’s blog, Podtalk Radio’s Amy Domestico and Suzanne Falter-Barnes were too kind . John Havens at the about.com podcasting guide (a thousand blessings on his house, camels long-suffering wife and kids for the use of their couch) asked if I’d lead a session, so I gave the case study of The Cranky Middle Manager Show and how we’ve built the brand on no money whatsoever. There were over 50 people in the room, the questions were fun and I met some cool people.

I also got lots of ideas from other bloggers and p’casters on ways to work with my audience and you’ll be hearing about those soon. How does a live, call-in podcast where you can ask questions sound to you? Watch for details soon.
