The New Orleans tech scene is no stranger to grass root groups forming around a particular interest. There have been several shoot off organizations which cater to local developers, Mac users, and even hackers. The beauty of our tech ecosystem is that each focuses on a specific topic and doesn’t overlap the other. A new group will emerge this Thursday that adds another layer to our community bringing together podcasters and video producers. The New Orleans New Media Club will showcase producers of web audio and video content so they can share ideas on how to improve their work and how they can help cross-promote each other’s work. They also hope to become a resource for newcomers interested in starting out in podcasting, video blogging, and web series development.
Aura Shannon, founder of the New Media Club says that when she started out podcasting there were numerous resources but never the opportunity to talk to other person face-to-face that had similar interests and concerns. She highlighted the plight of the NOLA podcaster on Humid Beings by pointing out the fact that people read blogs but they also walk around with mp3 players, cell phones, and other devices just waiting to consume audio and video content.
