I like you

In GBA 47 we get better acquainted with my JP and Elah from the podcast I Like You. This is the first GBA done via skype with a link up between London and Toronto.

Amongst other things we talk about love and like, independent podcasting, ex girlfriends, working together, putting yourself online, radio and more. They use their own interview skills to draw some stories out of me.

A shorter version of our conversation edited by Elah appeared last week on their podcast: http://ilikeyoupodcast.com/2012/03/67-getting-better-acquainted/

If you want to write a letter to your ex and send it to JP and Elah for them to use on their show they would love you to do so. Send it to: us@ilikeyoupodcast.com

GBA 47 JP and Elah from I Like You

This is the talk I did for In the Dark at the Invisible Picture Palace on "In Conversation" podcasting. 

Showcasing clips that give an idea of the range, style and content of the shows that are out there + a history and analysis of the genre.


Original Blurb:

Independent podcaster Dave Pickering presents a discussion of the “in conversation” podcast genre, focusing on what makes these conversations different from interviews that take place in mainstream media. He’ll play highlights from some of the best examples of these podcasts and include some extracts from his own conversation based show, Getting Better Acquainted.

Dave’s work was nominated for the Sony Best Internet Programme Award in 2009 and the Best Online Creator Award in the 2012 Radio Production Awards. GBA was recently featured on Helen and Olly’s Required Listening on Radio 5 Live.

Dave has a day job and works in many other mediums but is a passionate audio creator who wants to involve you in the conversation. 

This presentation will be recorded and eventually posted as an episode of the GBA podcast.
