Pagan Podcasting

So I was looking over RT.com (Russia Today’s website). One thing I was struck by is this non-mainstream TV channel has some interesting features, like learning Russian and learning more about Russia and its history even though most of its US content is related to events in the US.

Given that we are PaganPodcasting.org, I was thinking – maybe we could put something together like this. However, since we’re podcasters, we could just link to episodes that cover the Pagan 101.

Does your show have any Pagan 101 episodes like “What is Paganism?” If so, please post links directly to those episodes here for inclusion into the website. Given that our website is increasingly referenced by those not walking the Pagan paths, I think this would be an excellent resource to make available. Best of all, we’ve probably already put together the materials and it’s just a matter of linking to it. As a perk, you may gain a few new listeners .

Thanks!

Hey Podkin! Remember, Midsummer (June 22) is the cut-off date to RSVP for PPSM2 in September! If you’re on the fence as to whether you can attend, but you’re pretty sure that you’ll be able to work it out, then let us know by Midsummer! You can always back out in case of a personal or financial emergency later, but you cannot RSVP after Midsummer!

So, please, if you want to be one of the Podkin for this year’s Supermoot, send an email to either Fire Lyte (IncitingARiotPodcast@gmail.com) or Velma (Velma@WitchesBrewHaHa.com) letting us know that you’d like to be attending. We need the official head count by Midsummer (June 22) so that we can get that to the suppliers who are donating swag. Also, we will need to know how many rooms to continue reserving, etc.

See you in Salem!

Greetings Pagan Podcasters!

In an effort to make it much easier to announce what events you are covering and give you much more control over the information promoted via the Website, I have installed an Events plugin. You should see an Events plugin when you login to the dashboard of PaganPodcasting.org (click Dashboard after logging in). Here you can add your own event, supply whatever information you want or just have it link to a web page. Just note when you add an event, it defaults to “Draft” instead of “Public” in case you make a typo. Remember, only events set to “Public” will appear in the list of events being covered, and only events with addresses will appear in the map.

I’m sure we’ll all agree this is much nicer than having to manually edit Google maps and all the fun stuff that created, like someone randomly saving road trip directions onto our official map .

For everyone who previously submitted entires, I just directed entires to the official web pages I could find for those events. Feel welcome to edit and have it point to your show’s stuff instead. Be aware, there are events for which many podcasts are covering (for example: Pagan Spirit Gathering) so please play nice, not that it has ever been a problem .

I also updated our comment system to Disqus so it will be more awesome. You can subscribe to comment threads and all that. It’s the same comment system Patheos uses. If you have any questions or comments, just drop a comment .

Zaracon from Pagan’s Tonight posted this on his Facebook today and I think as part of the Pagan Media, you may find this dossier assembled a few months ago about this by Jason Pitzl-Waters quite useful in your shows:

As always, you can visit WildHunt.org/blog for the latest updates about the case and reaction to the latest decision. Just ignore the Patrick Stewart reference, Jason obviously isn’t fully awake yet.

Credit goes to Zaracon for digging this up .
