Scarborough Dude will be in Ottawa. Anyone who wants to chill with the Dude for a few pints and amazing conversation should be at this event!

The meetup will take place at the Clock Tower Brew Pub (575 Bank Street) at 8:00pm on Saturday, April 28.

Please RSVP.

Nico from Argentina, who has been a strong supporter of the Canadian Podcast community since way back when Podcasting was still in diapers, will be in Ottawa for one night only, Tuesday, January 23. To celebrate the occasion, we’ll be meeting that night at The Arrow and Loon (Bank and Fifth) at 8pm. It would be great if you can join us and we can prove that Podcasters can go out to drink beers two weeks in a row.

Put a comment on this post to let me know if you can make it.

The Ottawa Podcast Meetup took place last evening at the Arrow and Loon Pub.

Charles Hodgson produces Podictionary, a daily Podcast in which he examines the etymology of a word in the english language in just a few minutes. He will publish his 400th episode before the year is out, and his first book, Carnal Knowledge: A Navel Gazer’s Dictionary of Anatomy, Etymology, and Trivia, is expected to hit bookstores in the spring. Charles had questions that focussed on troubleshooting RSS feeds and optimizing websites.

Jason Roy is the man behind The Capital Rock Show, a weekly Podcast that features four songs by any band he happens to like, local or international. Last evening, Jason suggested that he’d like to start recording live performances of some bands for his show so that led to a fair bit of tech talk during the evening.

The Ottawa Local Podcast is a platform for Arthur Masters to share his ideas on arts, humanity and life, with a focus on how those issues fit into his hometown of Ottawa. He produces his show “whenever I feel like producing one”. Arthur led some interesting conversations that weighed the pros and cons of having show notes and using social media to promote one’s Podcast. He also raised some interesting points about what distguishes Podcasts from radio programs. I’ll be blogging about some of those this week.

One great disovery of the meetup is that the Arrow and Loon has a special on its steak and french fries dish on Sunday evenings… $5!
