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.

Pride 48 website update
Some of you may have noticed this already, but pride48.com redirects to pride48live.com. That's as it should be.
The main Pride 48 site is undergoing a complete transformation/upgrade, etc., which is VERY involved. Daniel hasn't had time to finish it, so to make sure that we have a functioning and current site in the run-up to this year's event, Adam Burns created a sort of duplicate of the old site, and that's at pride48live.com. Daniel has redirected Pride48.com to this alternate site so no one has to learn a new URL. It should work like the regular site, but if you have any problems, please let Adam know.
HUGE thanks to Adam for doing this! This gives Daniel the space he needs to re-do the main site while making sure we have somewhere to direct people for information, so we all win.
Feel free to stop by the new site anytime—even the weekly schedule is being updated!

State of the Station
As you know, we're now posting State of the Station here so this blog can be a one-stop information shop (I picked that word 'cause it rhymes…) until the main site is updated. We've now resolved the enclosure issue with Blogger, however, it doesn't support MP3 players in posts. So, things are a bit different than many of us are used to.
If you use Google Reader or a similar feed-catcher to read this blog, you can probably ignore all this. For the rest of us, here's what to do to subscribe in iTunes:
1. Copy this blog's feed, which is http://pride48.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
2. Open iTunes and choose "Subscribe to Podcast" under the "Advanced" menu.
3. In the box that pops up, paste the blog's feed from Step 1 into the URL space. Click OK.
After doing that, whenever an audio file is posted to this blog, it should show up when you refresh iTunes. Other software has similar procedures, and you're welcome to add instructions for them in the comments.
If all this is too much, I'll also post a direct link for each State of the Station episode. You can either right-click to download it to your computer, or click on it to listen to it through your web browser (if your browser supports that).
There, one more thing crossed off the list!
The next State of the Station will be LIVE on Pride48.com at 8pm Eastern on Monday, July 9.

June State of the Station
This post has the June State of the Station, recorded this week. As with the May edition on the previous post, the enclosure isn’t showing up properly for feedcatchers or iTunes. I'm working on it.
I’ll add more information once I solve this, but for now, you can access the file directly. To download, right-click here. Or, you can just click on the link and it will play in your web browser (if it supports that, of course).
Update: All fixed—it should download normally now. I've also posted instructions on how to subscribe in iTunes.

May State of the Station
This post has the May State of the Station recording added, but Blogger doesn't make this process easy. As near as I can tell, the enclosure isn't showing up properly for feedcatchers or iTunes. I'm working on it.

Some quick updates
We’re going to post more information to this blog until we can get the main site fully updated. If there’s something in particular you’d like to know about, leave a comment or email me.
State of the Station recordings
We’re going to post the recordings of State of the Station here so that if you’re unable to listen live, you can still find out what you missed. Subscription instructions will be included in each post.
Get on the list!
GLBT and GLBT-friendly podcasts are welcome to take part in the Pride 48 event, either in Las Vegas or anywhere else in the world (I’ll be participating from here in New Zealand). If you’d like to take part, send me an email (link above) with the name of your show and whether you’ll be in Las Vegas or not. Don’t worry about timeslots—that will come later, and right now we just need to know who wants to take part.
