SFFaudio wishes to send a big thank you to the hosts and attendees of the Podcasting Suite at WorldCon 2006 Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in the Hilton’s Suite 240 in Anaheim, California. These three nights were giant blast of goodness for us. Here’s a rundown of the folks who made it all possible:
Sponsoring the event was Podcast Ready, a cool company which provides software that will turn any internet connection into a podcast update source. Their software resides on your MP3 player and will search out all your latest subscirptions whenever it is plugged into any USB port (whether it is your personal computer or not).
Providing music was DJ Steveboy from the premier podcast providing workout tunes for your weekly workouts.
Thursday Night:
Hosted in part by Bluejack from The Internet Review Of Science Ficiton (and the podcast :: overclocked ::)
And by Marti McKenna from Aeon Speculative Fiction.
And by Evo Terra of Podiobooks.com
Friday Night:
Friday it was Escape Pod’s turn. The hosts were Stephen Eley, his wife and fellow narrator Anna Eley, as well as E-Pod slush pile reader Scott Janssens.
Saturday Night:
Evo once again hosted a night of debauched poetry slamming. A wonderful time was had by all.

I took a camera to Worldcon and have posted a number of the pics from the podcasting suite’s three parties into my Flickr account. I also made a general Worldcon set, click on through to see them both.
