Brad Stephenson and Jerry Coltin presented a session called "Attack of the Pod People." They covered the why, what, and how to get started of podcasting in the arts sector. They mostly focused on what I call the middle of the road approach.
Jerry Coltin gave an excellent overview which included listening to and showing some examples of arts podcasting and video podcasting. These were mostly museums like MoMa (which I wrote about over a year ago here) and a few others. (See resources below) He also shared an interview from the 501c3Cast for Nonprofits. He offered some pointers about how to think strategically about podcasting, when not to do it, and some advice to get started. (See YouTube interview for more)
Brad Stephenson gave a very good overview of the process and the tools. He asked for three volunteers from the audience to "make a podcast." They made a 30 second recording to demonstrate how it works. (My Flickr photos here) (He mentioned that he picked up the microphones in the CMU trash - boy I wish I could lurk in those trash cans!)
Brad Stephenson has been sharing his learning on the Technology in the Arts Blog about his podcasting efforts. At the conference, Brad was recording interviews with the important (not me) and those will also be posted on the camt blog. There was a lot of interest from the audience so I suspect this means we may be hearing a few more arts organizations in the nonprofit podcasting space. And, with Pittsburgh Podcamp coming up, maybe a few arts organization will check it out.

I attended Boston Podcamp with 300 other podcasters, many of them rock stars in the podcasting world. There was incredible knowledge sharing. Here's my live blogging notes. All my blog posts about nonprofits and podcasting can be found here.
