SitePoint Podcast returns to WordCamp Raleigh for live show

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Steve M

We are extremely excited and pleased to announce that for the second consecutive year, the SitePoint Podcast will host a special live show at WordCamp Raleigh.

Last year’s show, the first ever live, in person episode of the podcast, was a big success, with a face to face audience of 80-120 people and a live online audience in the hundreds. So, we’re doing it again!

The Details

The SitePoint Podcast will be live on Saturday May 21st for two hours, starting at 1 PM ET (GMT/UTC -4) in the room dedicated to the Users Track. They will have prizes, special guests and a lot of fun and conversation. You will need a conference pass to attend the podcast in person so register today if you haven’t got your ticket yet!

Just like last year, the live Podcast will be hosted by Patrick O’Keefe (@ifroggy), Brad Williams (@williamsba) and Stephan Segraves (@ssegraves). Unfortunately, their newly anointed co-host Louis Simoneau (@rssaddict) will not be making the long trek from Australia to join them. Dave Moyer will be helping out again on the technical end.

Following the podcast, both Brad and Patrick will be speaking in the Power Users track, with Brad leading with he session “Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse using Custom Post Types and Taxonomies” and Patrick closing out the afternoon with “Comment Moderation 201.”

Special Guest: You

The SitePoint Podcast team are still working out the logistics, but they’ll be pulling at least one member of the audience up on stage to be a guest on the show and, if you attend, it could be you.

Listen Online or In Person

The show will be broadcast online, so if you can’t make it in person, we encourage you to join live on the SitePoint Podcast homepage. The show will be recorded so that it can be released as a regular podcast, but we hope to have you here with us for the fun, whether for the whole show or just part of it.
