  Well, here it is (finally) the Post-PAB2012 episode. Mark and Bob review PAB2012, PAB as a whole, and also discuss other fun things. I'm sure I was supposed to write more here. Oh well, you'll just have to listen :)    

Tradition is we publish a "travel to PAB" episode to help prepare you for and accompany you on your travels to the conference. So, we've dusted off our equipment and audio production brains to tell you about the program and social activities. We also recycled some tips from Bruce Murray and John Meadows, and included some concert footage of Uncle Seth and Dala at the original PAB, PAB2006. Thank you very much to Hunt Club Volkswagen for their generous sponsorship of PAB2012. Details of their specific contribution will be announced Friday evening. Be sure to thank Irene Thomson during PAB (she will be there) and take a few moments to thank HuntClubVW on Twitter. FRIDAY, JUNE 8 There is no activity planned for Friday afternoon.

While Mark battled his spotty connection at the "No Bandwidth Motel" in San Diego, Tod Maffin joined Bob (and sometimes Mark) to discuss being a PAB "Lifer", and also to take a look at how the space has progressed in the last 6 years. We also discuss the founding of CanadaPodcasts.ca , and Tod helps us with new show announcements. The voice in the background Tod only acknowledges at the very end is Jocelyn Tomkinson, aka Ask A Wheelchair Girl Did we mention he's attending PAB2011 ?

Broca's Area alumni Dave Brodbeck and Isabelle Michaud spent a couple of nights at Mark and Andrea's house this past weekend (they happened to be in the neighbourhood).

"Your story deserves no attention whatsoever." PAB2011 Dates: June 24-26, 2011 Location: National Arts Centre, Ottawa Theme: Your story deserves to be told. Well.
