There’s a lot of great information coming out of the Portable Media Expo this year and here’s a few points over the weekend that jumped out.

Podshow spending some of the $15 million on a stretch Hummer to move people to their un-conference deal…

Thursday
Podcast Academy 4:

• Craig Syverson with Video Grunt and and formerly of IDEO. Man, this guy rocks. I’ll be subscribing once I get to my home base. And close to me, he talked about file naming and organization in the midst of his discussion.
• Tim Street (FrenchMaid TV fame) talking about getting your videos to be viral
• The Levelator

Friday:

• Dave Slusher from Evil Genius Chronicles. When he speaks, I’m there. Great follow up from Scott with Podcheck Review
• FInding that other gatherings at the DoubleTree Hotel include, the Chicano Correctional Workers Association, Canon Illusionists gathering, various sports notables in town for the 2006 Mark Christopher Charity Classic. Lawrence Taylor in the bar.
• Michael Jordan getting bumped from the Presidential Suite for the LibSyn party. Word is he was in there watching tv.
• The line at In-n-Out burger, and proof I was there
• Talking Minneapolis with Garrick Van Burnen
• An enthusiastic conversation about iTunes not centered around the C&D’s, but OPML?….. We figured the discussion was enthusiastic enough that Dave woke up from a deep sleep, even if he wasn’t there.

Saturday

• L.T. at breakfast by himself, and another table that were some other sports stars including Eric Munoz…
• Andrew Barton and Joanne Conlan from Rocketboom.
• In-n-Out, again. Anything is better than the convention center food, and this is worth the walk.
• Kris with Palegroove Studios gave the most honest, non sales pitch presentation on podcast consulting. He shared real world numbers, which is rare in this day and age. More power to you.

Shout out to all those that I met for the first time, and those renewed acquaintances: Kosso (podcast.com), Duncan (podcast.com), Scott, Pete, Esmee (Deloitte), Dave (Evil Genius Chronicles), Ewan (in the kilt, of course), Garrick (First Crack Podcast), Kris (Palegroove), Eric Rice, Craig Syverson (VideoGrunt), Rick (Feedburner) Greg Cangialosi, Doug (Gigavox), Michael (Gigavox), and more, I’m sure.

Where was Odeo?

We missed Mike. Maybe next year. I can’t believe you and the Evil Genius have yet to meet in person.
