Podcast #124 – Seattle Hosts Young Podcasters & a New LPFM Radio Survivor Podcast
-
- Tech News
Eric and Paul met young enthusiastic podcasters and podcast fans when they attended Podcon in Seattle at the beginning of December. It’s almost an understatement to say they were impressed by diversity of the attendees, and their love of radio drama style shows. Your hosts learned a lot (there’s a library with free public podcast studios!) and they share some of the takeaways in this episode.
The same weekend Paul and Eric had the opportunity to attend the launch party for KBFG, a new LPFM community station in the Ballard neighborhood. The station was also featured in a recent New York Times feature on low-power FM. We share an interview with station staffers, co-founder Pam Burton, board member Jerry Russell and programming and promotions director MacKenzie McAninch.
Paul also gives an update on the FCC’s decimation of network neutrality now that the FCC finally released the approved policy. He explains the timeline ahead for when the new rules will take affect, and when court challenges can begin.
