Von Iva at the Red Devil Lounge Sat. 10/6

Last Friday night I attended the Culture Catch Salon at the Podcast and New Media Expo. I also did some photos of the event for the people who organized it. It was a great evening, and the closing act was a three woman band called Von Iva from San Francisco, who absolutely rocked the house.

They are playing on Oct 6 at Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco. I’ve been listening to their CD since the show and you can check them out on their MySpace page (The song LALA is really amazing, and hearing it live is something I will not soon forget). Their song called DO IT! sounds like an instant hit to me. It’s the 10th song on the CD Our Own Island. You can find it and sample a portion on iTunes.

Video Interview from the Podcast & New Media Expo

I just returned from the 3rd annual Podcast & New Media Expo held in Ontario, California. It was a fantastic show, with a lot of educational content in the general sessions (held in large ballrooms and other conference rooms) and on the show floor. The “Podango Unconference,” held in Podango’s booth was especially good. I’ll be posting photos and highlights from the show over the next few weeks, but for now, I’d like to post a link to a video for which I was interviewed. I spoke with Kara Ratliff from WebProNews about the presentation I gave during the show on Saturday entitled: How To Make Your Content Easy For “Grandma” to Consume: Simplifying RSS Feeds, Video Formats and Flash Players for Your Audience.
