Rebecca recently joined up with Metroblogging Vancouver in the last few weeks, and we attended our first meetup last night in Stanley Park. For those unaware, Metblogs has been a site that I’ve been reading for many months now in order to learn more about Vancouver and all the interesting things that come with it. A variety of contributers that write about a city they live in and seem to know fairly well. You can see Rebecca’s profile and latest posts for Metblogs here.
With that being said, I can say that I had a really good time meeting some incredible people. I’m not a writer for the site, but that didn’t matter as I was tagging along with Rebecca. I did take the opportunity to get my podcasting foot into the meetup. This is the other project that I have to do this week, so watch for this episode to come out by Friday at the latest.
This will be the first time taking RadioZoom down this avenue of wandering around with the minidisc, talking to (annoying, badgering, threatening) people, and rolling it into a podcast. I have about an hour and fifteen minutes of audio to parse through and edit. It’s another experiment, and I have to say I’m excited because this is the first time since my college radio days of doing any sort of interviewing. But this is podcasting. I probably have more listeners now than I did back then.
Good times! You were a star – can’t wait to hear the audio 🙂
Was great to meet you, John. Be sure to post the link when the post-production work is complete!
