Schedule change

Posted by PAB in PAB2010 - (2 Comments)

In order to ensure we wrap-up PAB2010 by noon on Sunday June 20, and that we’re able to vacate the venue promptly so the NAC has ample time to prepare the Fourth Stage for an event taking place later that day, we’ve had to make a few refinements to the Sunday schedule.

As with previous PABs, we expect that large groups will gather for lunch and spend the remainder of the day socializing and taking in the sites of Ottawa. We hope you’ll be able to stick around and join us.

Here is the revised Sunday schedule.

Sunday, June 20, 2010

  • 8:50am Day three opening remarks (Bob Goyetche and Mark Blevis)
  • 9:00am Death and Digital Legacy (Adele McAlear)
  • 9:40am JOLT! When in doubt, have cultists attack (Julien Smith)
  • 9:45am Break
  • 10:00am Cult of Listener: Podcaster as shaman in the post-literate Global Theatre (Adam Gratrix)
  • 10:40am Making Meaning: How to Create Content that Speaks to People (Susan Murphy)
  • 11:25am JOLT! The currency of relevance (Nancy Morris)
  • 11:30am Conference wrap-up (Mark Blevis and Bob Goyetche)
  • 12:00pm PAB2010 ends (hustle out of the venue and spend the afternoon together)

New Thought vs. Prevailing Thought – Valerie Hunter

Posted by PAB in PAB2009 - (0 Comments)

We asked Valerie Hunter how her session, While You Weren’t Looking: From the Visible to the Audible, challenges prevailing thought.

I hope it helps raise the profile of audio description, helps people to consider when they might lean too heavily on visual media in presenting ideas and inspires people to think about what they can do verbally to help audio tell a story. I also hope to reinforce the notion that when we all listen to audio only, we are all essentially blind, so these matters are really about inclusion, which is a guiding principle of podcasting. This is not about addressing a niche.

I guess the session isn’t bringing out new thought, but rather thought that goes dormant sometimes. We assume that people see and hear the same things we do, but I learn over and over again (sometimes the hard way) that isn’t the case. It’s not just about sight and hearing, but perspective. So maybe the session will tweak some people to the fact there are these other considerations, but also conclude that while it’s important to remember them, when it comes to expressing our own perspective, there’s only so much we can do, and we can only do the best we can at the time.

Valerie Hunter will be speaking at 11:00am on Saturday, June 20 as part of the PAB09 program.

New Thought vs. Prevailing Thought – Tod Maffin

Posted by PAB in PAB2009 - (0 Comments)

We called Tod Maffin, our closing speaker, to ask how his session Twenty Moments of Epic Awesomeness challenges prevailing thought.  Tod’s reply?  “Who the fuck is this?!” We forgot that Tod is in Vancouver and woke him up at 4:30 a.m. Later that day, his lawyer sent us an abrupt letter that started with “Dear chronologically challenged pinheads,” Luckily, the letter also contained a brief summary (poorly handwritten on construction paper) of how the finalé will challenge your thoughts:

Rarely have I seen a podcaster fail who has thoroughly followed this path. Those who do not succeed are those who can not or will not give themselves to these 20 simple and awesome things — usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being awesome. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way.

If you have decided that you want to be awesome and are willing to go to any length to get it – then you are ready to take certain steps. The first of which is to stick around for Tod’s closing address. Remember that we deal with audio – cunning, baffling, powerful! Without help it is too much for us. But there is One who can get you on your own personal path to awesomeness. That One is Tod. May you find him now.

Yeah, we don’t really understand it either, but Tod always delivers.

Tod Maffin will be speaking at 11:40am on Sunday, June 21 as part of the PAB09 program.

New Thought vs. Prevailing Thought – Katherine Matthews

Posted by PAB in PAB2009 - (0 Comments)

 We asked Katherine Matthews how her session, Spice Up Your Life: Creativity, Community and the Art of Masala Film-Making, challenges prevailing thought.

The masala film genre and its exuberant style of storytelling has slowly been influencing the way I work as a podcaster, and what I hope to bring to PAB is a better understanding of the genre, how it works, and what it teaches me about being in a creative space.  I’m hoping it will generate some new ideas for others on crafting stories and creating media using in ways they might not have thought of before, by mining a wealth of creative influences and traditional ideas, by seeking out fresh ones, and by connecting with other creators

Katherine Matthews will be speaking at 9:00am on Sunday, June 21 as part of the PAB09 program.
