This weekend landed me in DC for my first podcamp of 08. I was excited to go and I wanted to fill an empty speaking slot so I did. I talked on Branding Your Podcast. I thought the presentation was very thoughtful and broke things down well for a potentially complicated information exchange. My only mistake was that I over estimated how many people would actually be ready to talk stregic branding. Most people were just getting started or hadn’t created a podcast yet. I did plan to be flexibe and answering questions mid stride wasn’t an issue. The conversation did take an unnecessary ”what the heck is twitter” turn at the end, but hopefully I grabbed a few new followers as well as stromhuelsman listeners.
The after party was more tame than I’m used to but thats ok because I needed to catch a train before midnight. I did get to spend some time talking ninja marketing, mind control and just ninja with Chris Penn. Good times. A lot of people in DC warming up for PodCamp NYC this coming weekend. I wish I could make it.

One final note. In a shameless croncast promotion here is me telling everyone in my session to give it a listen. They are a really good example of podcast branding at the moment because they are about to relaunch or repackage the show.Â

Norm, you rock like nobody’s business! You’ve now given me a great idea. Will share with you soon. Must go covert for now. Thanks for the plug as 500 and our rebranding begins.
Norm,
Great blog post. I also spoke at Podcamp DC and had the same issue. Had planned to talk with people who I figured were advanced in the whole podcasting new media space – but instead had a ton of folks who were new. And it also seems that EVERY session that day we ended up talking about Twitter one way or another.
I guess Twitter is hitting its tipping point in the mainstream? Not sure but it is close.
