I’m really starting to get excited about this Saturday’s Podcamp Ohio event, and I hope that you are, too! I can’t wait to start networking and meet new people. I can’t wait to start learning as much as I can about new media like blogs, podcasts, video blogging, social networking, and anything else.

Here’s an idea: Why not get this party started early – like before all of us get on site in Columbus. And, I think I have the opportunity to do just that. The Doctor Anonymous Show is happy to welcome anyone and everyone associated with Podcamp Ohio on Thursday, June 26th at 9pm eastern time.

What is The Doctor Anonymous Show? Well, I’m glad that you asked. It is a live internet radio show where you can participate in a number of ways – like in our live interactive chat room, or you can call into the show to talk to me or anyone else on the show, and you will see my shining face on the live webcam. How exciting is that?

I already have some of the organizers and some people who will be presenting sessions on Thursday’s show. So, if you’re like me and can’t wait until Saturday to get Podcamp Ohio started, join me for The Doctor Anonymous Show on Thursday! Check out my blog for more details. See you there!

If you find yourself needing a dance break, background music for your personal podcast or some relief from the pressure of your iPod headphones during PodCamp Ohio, you’re in luck. Mike Genovese, a solo, acoustic musician from Columbus, Ohio (via Cleveland), will provide lunchtime tunes at PCO starting at 12:30p at ITT.

Read his official below to find out more, but I can tell you from experience, it’s sure to be a good time!

Mike captures audiences with his engaging live performances. Inspired by artists Tim Reynolds, Howie Day and Joseph Arthur, Mike incorporates the use of a technique called “looping” or “sampling” that happens LIVE by adding layers of sounds, finally creating the presence of a full band. You’ll be tapping your feet when Mike cuts phat beats (yes, phat…) live on-stage to accompany his songs.

Although still relatively new to the music scene, Mike has shared the stage with many national acts including: Pat McGee Band, Ari Hest, Matt Wertz, Mat Kearney, Jump (little children), Lifehouse, Tim Reynolds, Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers, Virginia Coalition, Jack Johnson, G. Love and Special Sauce, Blessid Union of Souls, Matt White, ZOX, Michael Tolcher, Rusted Root, Collective Soul, Cary Brothers, The Clarks, Josh Hoge, Mason Jennings, Blue October, Carbon Leaf, Red Wanting Blue, Oval Opus, Mieka Pauley, and The Damnwells.

Watch for Mike’s latest CD due out this year!

Half way through the meeting we spoke with Chris, he has 2 session ideas that he may submit to present at PodCamp Ohio.

We are seeking door prizes to give away during the day of the event. If you have any podcasting gear or other related merchandise to donate for us to raffle off the day of the event, please contact angelo (angelo [at] podcampohio.com).
