Rise of the Pod(cast) People<\/strong>
\nThursday, May 9, 5:00 p.m-6:00 p.m.<\/em>
\nPodcasting is growing into an entertainment powerhouse. Horror-focused podcasts have been around for over 10 years, new pods are entering the field, and nearly every pro-paying magazine has added a podcast as part of their platform. Formats range from audio magazines to horror news, film and book discussions, author interviews, fancasts, and fully-dramatized serials. How do creators distinguish themselves from the pack, get funding, and grow their audience? Are there opportunities for under-represented authors and subgenres? Aside from delivering pure, unadulterated fear directly to your brain, what other opportunities do podcasts offer the horror community?
\nwith S. Kay Nash, Brian Keene, Tonia Thompson, Karen Bovenmyer, and Lisa Kroger<\/em><\/p>\n

Librarians Day — Podcasting 101<\/strong>
\nFriday, May 10, 2:15 p.m.-3:15 p.m.<\/em>
\nJoin award winning Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror writer and editor, as well as podcaster [Eating the Fantastic] Scott Edelman as he moderates a panel about those who have started their own successful podcasts and YouTube book channels. Already confirmed to appear is author and podcaster Brian Keene, as well as Lisa Quigley and Mackenzie Kiera, the team behind the popular Ladies of the Fright podcast.
\nwith Mackenzie Kiera, Lisa Quigley, and Brian Keene<\/em><\/p>\n

Reading<\/strong>
\nSaturday, May 11, 2:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.<\/em>
\nI haven’t yet decided which story to read. If you’re in the audience, I might ask you<\/em> to choose!
\nwith Marc Abbott and Steve van Patten<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For an as yet unspecified hour or two, you’ll also be able to find me in the lobby handing out donuts! But there’ll be a catch …<\/p>\n

As part of my Eating the Fantastic podcast<\/a>, I’ve hosted one donut-related lightning-round episode each of the past three years — the Readercon Donut Spectacular<\/a>, the Balticon Donut Extravaganza<\/a>, and the Nebula Awards Donut Jamboree<\/a> — and I’ve decided to record one again during StokerCon.<\/p>\n

I won’t know when and where I’ll let the sugary anarchy reign, not until I’m on site and have scoped out the con, but if you want to be in on the action, follow my Twitter feed<\/a> for an announcement once the con begins.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
