Dope on the Slope made a podcast of the First Annual Brooklyn Blogfest. It’s a great way to get a sense of what the event was like.
After much maladroit mixing, I finally managed to cobble together a brief podcast featuring some "interviews" with a small sample of the presenters at last Thursday’s Brooklyn Blogfest. Like nearly everything else I’m interested in, I jumped into this with both feet and absolutely no idea what I was doing. I conducted entire interviews without hitting the record button, distorted the levels, and had a devil of a time with my plosives (apparently it’s hereditary). Still, I think some of the spirit of the event manages to seep through my incompetence.
My apologies to anyone I didn’t get around to interviewing, and to anyone whose most brilliant observations didn’t make it into the mix.
A sensible person would give up after such a dismal debut performance. But I can’t quit while I’m behind.
Look for an upcoming show devoted to photoblogging, and, as special treat, a new series of classic poetry and literature readings featuring the incomparable Daisy Parker. I’m going to call it "Trope on the Slope."
