Podcasters Across Borders

George Motoc from Canadian Immigrant song did some dry reads to promote PAB, and you can use them on your show! Imagine, someone ELSE’s voice on your podcast! I know, the possibilities are endless!

George’s page is here, with links to the audio..

Thanks George!

How are you telling people you’re coming to PAB?

Did you know that both Mark and Bob are available for interviews? Drop us a line and we’ll set something up!

It’s incredible to me that even though there is still snow on my front lawn, we are EXACTLY TWO MONTHS away from PAB2008! I just wanted to share a quick note to point out that on this day in June, we’ll all be having an awesome time in Kingston, and some of us will be trying to figure out how to get and unnamed Scarberian Podcaster back into the Merchant Tap house pub..

Chris Sherry made an iGoogle gadget to help you keep track of the countdown - if you have any widgets or anything like that, send them along, we’ll share them with everyone..

For Mac users we’ve made a countdown widget for you to help pass the interminable minutes until the event.

You can download the widget here, You’ll also find badges on that page for your website. Tell the world you’re coming to PAB!
