TWHC || PODCAMP TORONTO 2020
AT THE TOP OF 2020, EVERYTHING CAME FULL CIRCLE FOR US HERE AT THE WHO & HOW CLUB….
AFTER BEING AN ATTENDEE AT PODCAMP TORONTO A FEW YEARS BACK, WE ALWAYS SAID TO OURSELVES (SECRETLY) THAT ONE YEAR, WE WILL BE COOL ENOUGH TO BE CHOSEN AS A PRESENTER AT THE CONFERENCE. WELL, THE PODCAST GODS FINALLY SMILED DOWN ON US IN 2020, AND WE FINALLY GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO FACILITATE A SPACE AT THIS YEAR’S EVENT.
PODCAMP TORONTO 2020 - https://2020.podcamptoronto.com/
OUR FIRST SESSION AS AN ATTENDEE AT PODCAMP TORONTO WAS IN THE BIG ROOM (Room 100) AT RYERSON UNIVERSITY. WHILE CBC PRESENTED TO A FULL ROOM OF PEOPLE WHO HAD ALL SORTS OF INTEREST IN PODCASTING, WE SAT THERE LIKE A LITTLE FISH IN A BIG POND WITH OUR PEN AND PAD JOTTING DOWN AS MANY NOTES AS POSSIBLE. WE WERE LIKE A SPONGE. WE ATTENDED THE CONFERENCE TO LEARN ALL THAT WE COULD ABOUT PODCASTING THAT YEAR, AND WE TOOK WHAT WE LEARNED, APPLIED IT, CREATED THIS “CLUB” CONCEPT….AND NOW YOU READ OUR BLURBS, LISTEN TO OUR EPISODES AND ATTEND OUR EVENTS! A LOT CAN CHANGE IN A YEAR OR TWO.
WE WERE SO AMAZED, BUT ALSO INTIMIDATED AT THE SAME TIME WHEN WE ATTENDED, WE NEVER THOUGHT THAT WE’D GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT IN THE SAME ROOM CBC DID….BUT IT HAPPENED. I GUESS PODCAMP REALLY RESPECTED THE ACRONYM CREW (CBC, TWHC). CHECK OUT THE MINI CLIP BELOW TO GET A FEEL OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE THAT MORNING FOR US.
WE WANT TO SEND A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT AND BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF PODCAMP’S LEADERS AND ORGANIZERS FOR CREATING SUCH A SAFE SPACE THAT PROMOTES CONVERSATION, NETWORKING AND COLLABORATION….AND FOR ALSO ALLOWING US TO REALLY JUST DO WHAT WE DO BEST, WHICH IS BRING STRANGERS TOGETHER TO HAVE DEEP CONVERSATIONS ABOUT LIFE, PODCASTING AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT! WE ALSO WANT TO THANK THE BRAVE SOULS WHO ATTENDED THE SESSION, AND WHO WERE OPEN ENOUGH TO SHARE PIECES OF WHO THEY ARE, WHAT THEY DO, HOW THEY DEFINE PODCASTING.
SEE YOU IN 2021!
