If you’re going to be a new media creator then the third annual Podcast & New Media Expo is the place to be. That’s where I’m headed today. I’ll bet there won’t be too many agriblogging farm podcasters there. Actually I hope there are and that I run into them.

This is professional improvement for today’s media pro. That’s why I’ll be there. If I’m going to live up to the moniker of “Godfather of ag blogging” then I’m going to make sure I’m up to speed on all that’s new. One of the things I’m looking into is some better telephone interface equipment since we do so many over the phone interviews and recordings. I’ll find that in the trade show portion of the event.

Another thing I’m very interested in is tomorrow morning’s early first ever meeting of the Association for Downloadable Media. I’m hoping that by working with a group like this we can come up with some standards and methods to better measure what we do for the benefit of our audience and sponsors.
