Last Call for 2012

We’re now about SIX WEEKS from this year’s Pride 48!! That means that we’re getting to the business end of organising, so it’s time to get down to business!

Any LGBT or LGBT-friendly podcast is welcome to participate in this year’s event. Right now, all you have to do is email me to add you to the list of participants (scheduling will come later). It doesn't matter whether you'll be in Las Vegas or not—we have participants in cities around the world. We already have more participants than last year, so it’s a good idea to get your name on the list right now!

Because we’re about to start working on the schedule, we’re “closing” the list. This means that anyone who is not on the list by Noon EDT on Monday, August 6 won’t be included in the email invitation to pick times. We’ll still add shows after that, but if you’re not on the participant list, you won’t be invited to pick times—you’ll have to do pick from whatever time slots are left.

Be A Recruiter

Pride 48 never invites anyone to participate in the event. The reason for that is simple: We can’t possibly know about all the LGBT and LGBT-friendly podcasts out there, so if we start inviting people we’ll inevitably miss someone, and we never want to make anyone feel bad or left out. So, the best policy is to make it open to any LGBT or LGBT-friendly podcast, and to ask you—yes, YOU!—to invite your favourite shows to join us.

We have some new participants this year thanks to folks inviting their favourite shows. If there’s anyone you’ve been wanting to invite, please let them know about the Monday deadline.

Scheduling Starts Soon

We’ll soon begin scheduling shows, and only those on the participant list will receive an email inviting them to pick times. This is why it’s so important to be on that list.

Bumpers!

We need YOU to help promote Pride 48 for 2012!! We have an official bumper you can include in your podcast to help promote this year’s event. If you’d like to create your own, we have a standard closing we’d like you to use to make sure all bumpers have the same information. You can download them here: http://pride48live.com/index.php/promote

That’s it for now. Podcasters on the participant list by Noon EDT on Monday, August 6 will hear from me next week, and more information will be posted here later, too, as well as on our Facebook Page.
