Experienced speakers say that there are always three talks: the one you plan to give, the one you actually give, and the one you wish you had given. When I first volunteered to speak at PodCamp West, Vic Podcaster suggested that I prepare a 30-minute talk with slides. However, there were only two rooms available for presentations, and many more people wanted to speak than could be fit into available time, so Vic collected us into panels and had us speak for about 8 minutes each. I was on the “Up and Running with Podcasting” panel, along with Jerry Franklin, Kevin Crossman, and Kris Smith.

What I’ve included on this page is an audio recording of the talk I actually gave and the slides from the talk I planned to give, modified slightly after the fact.
