To do today... also - podcast!

Well, crap, it is almost eleven! I swear I'm not just procrastinating though, I need to figure out what all I am doing today.

-shower
-stores for: sugar, cat litter (mostly cat litter though, sugar can wait)
-laundry (esp goblin fabirc!)
-write
-get money for Renfaire
-social stuff with folks tonight?

Tomorrow I am going to fair with some school peeps. It think there will just be the three of us, but it should be fun :)

In other news, at the prompting of [profile] lukoni_idein, she, [personal profile] earis, [personal profile] naryrising and I have started a podcast! We have recorded two episodes so far (over Skype), and the first one is up and posted at [community profile] ficthropology and [community profile] ficthropology. The general idea is to look at and discuss academic works on fandom and fanfic (and possibly other fanmedia, though we are all primarily fic writers), and also to look at the same subjects from an academic (mostly anthropological, but other cultural studies approaches as well) perspective. We were inspired by the discussion groups and seminars we used to have when we were in gradschool, where we would all read the same papers and then discuss and debate!

The first episode is just an introduction, but the second (recorded and being edited now) is on Henry Jenkins's Textual Poachers: television Fans and Participatory Culture.

So, I'm just putting this out there in case there is any interest from folkd and also in case anyone out there has any experience with podcasting and can maybe suggest some other ways/places we can disseminate! I think we are hoping to do maybe one or two a month,but that is all sort of nebulous at the moment!
