The first panel, very informal, very social. It probaly didn’t live up to many attendees’ expectations. The subtitle “why web 2.0 gives people a voice” was not proven wrong, but not really discussed either.
The more experienced podcasters on the panel were unhappy about MSM “poluting” e.g. iTunes with second-use content. My thought on this was, who cares about the iTMS: does it link to you? In my view it is just a means of distribution. One member of the audience provoked a chuckle among the bloggers by asking for guidance/a theoretical structure of the new medium. From his background in radio it seemed unnatural to produce content without a discourse structure. Interesting thought though.
I was happy to finally meet Neville right after the session and spent a couple of minutes talking to Tim Pritlove from Chaosradio. What I should have done too, is grab a bite to eat…

One of the main reasons why we could not go deeper into this was, that two speakers had cancelled. One of them was a professor who should had deliver some theoretical content. Yes, the “voice”-topic wasn’t really discussed. But I am not sure, if its’s because a lot of podcasters and bloggers just do it and don’t care about theories and meta-discussions (which should be done). Remember my question about politics: there aren’t any political podcasts. I think, the answer to “why web 2.0 gives people a voice” is an this time just “because its easy to use.”

Totally agree, it was not an accusation..
I’d say German podcasting is still at the beginning and at the moment, just putting ones thoughts where the mouth is, if you will, is grand. I much prefer the rough stuff, e.g. the upcoming viernasentankensuper-show, is much more interesting than a format that employs a certain structure to achieve certain predefined goals. To me that sounds too much like MSM or advertisers’ strategies.
