Mark your calendars because the Post PodCamp Ohio Party is coming back to The Doctor Anonymous Show this Thursday, July 10th, 2008 at 9pm Eastern Time! There has already been a lot of great discussion regarding the evaluation of the initial Podcamp Ohio.

Angelo asked me to host a meeting/show to kind of bring all the feedback together so that we know how to move forward toward Podcamp Ohio 2009. What did people enjoy about Podcamp this year? What things shouldn’t we change? What things can we do better for next year? Give it some thought.

Or, if like for the Pre Podcamp Party, you just want to hang out and have a good time, you know the time and place. Brandice has also said that she’ll be there on Thursday. Will you?

Finally, if you haven’t had a chance yet, check out the videos over on the Viddler site from Podcamp Ohio. There are a few taken from the sessions and some fun videos as well. Also, Coefficient Media has already put up some audio podcasts from the sessions. Enjoy the video above and hope to see you Thursday night!

We have t-shirts left (20 L, XL and XXL) from the event! If you did not get an event t-shirt and would like one, please email me (angelo [at] podcampohio.com) and I can give it to you at the next PodCamp or New Media Cincinnati meetup. If you would like it shipped, please donate $5 via paypal to cover packaging and shipping. Donate link will be provided below. Please provide your shipping address and indicate which T-shirt size( L,XL, XXL) in the notes section when filling out the PayPal information.

We’ve recovered someone’s event bag which had a Medium size T-shirt. If this was yours, please email me and I’ll ship it to you ASAP.
