Episode 41 – 2nd Annual Dale Dorman Media Conference

April 28, 2017

Question of the Week

I have many people asking me about women signing up for selective service, or the draft. My position is simple. We all have been told for years that men and women are equal and in some cases women can do everything better than men. If that is truly the case, then I see no problem with having women sign up. Equal opportunity for all – You might say I am being a smart alek but it is what it is, moving on.

The Word

Almost a year ago to the day I went the Ist Annual Dale Dorman Media at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, MA. I can say this is where the idea for Oscar Mike Radio really started to take shape. The Keith Hayes was speaking about internet radio. Keith is a partner at Whoobazoo. Whoobazoo manages many of the aspects of Oscar Mike Radio.

Keith asked me to join him for the 2nd Annual Dale Dorman Media Conference on April 25th 2017. It was exciting to attend and during Keith’s presentation I got to speak about my experience with Whoobazoo. I can tell you it has been a great time. I enjoyed getting to talk about Whoobazoo and how they helped Oscar Mike Radio become what it is.

One of the things Keith talked about was the launch of Facebook Live Audio. I can take my Android cellphone and with a couple of clicks make a live broadcast. Keith believes this will open many opportunities for podcasters to “take their show on the road”. I tried it and agree that this could be exciting.

My intent was to record the presentation and use it for this episode. However, I made a noob mistake. There is no easy way to say it. I forgot to hit the record button on my Zoom H6. I brought my Zoom H6 so I could show people how I produce a Podcast Episode. Somehow, someway I messed up. Next time I am going to triple check and turn the button lock on for my Zoom H6.

Thanks again to Professor Supka, the students and panelist that contributed at the event. I want to keep getting better at what I do. I thought it was important to show some of the things that go into being in media content production and promotion. See you all next year.
