Free Podcasting Workshop

Welcome to new Carpenteria resident Jason who requested a podcasting workshop. Let's have some fun talking about video and audio podcasting basics. For a change of pace, this time we'll be emphasizing audio, keeping in mind that much of what we share will apply to video as well. Jason's also into Drupal and so we'll say a few words about building your own podcasting site with tools like Drupal.  Bring your laptop and microphone or camera if you have one.  Mac, Windows and Linux friendly.  Everyone is welcome, please leave a comment if you plan to attend.
