Infinite thanks to the SkirtsAfire Festival in Edmonton for inviting That's a Thing?! to do a live podcast recording on the final day of this spectacular showcase of theatre and multidisciplinary arts created by women.
If you missed it, or you were there and want to relive it, you'll find the audio in the next episode of That's a Thing?! , which will be published before the end of the month.
A live podcast recording can be a great way to enhance your event and extend the value of it beyond the day it happens. We've got podcasts about a wide variety of topics, and access to a whole bunch of people who are comfortable on a mic. If this sparks an idea in your mind, get in touch at hello@albertapodcastnetwork.com, or just hit reply.

The Alberta Podcast Network and PodSummit have been friends since the beginning. We were proud to announce our launch and founding sponsorship with ATB Financial at the first PodSummit in May of 2017, and we had a great time last year as PodSummit came to Edmonton.
So we're really looking forward to Year 3, which takes place on June 22 at Fort Calgary. Speakers include Justin Jackson of Transistor, audio producer Sarah Rowe, social skills coach Myke Macapinlac, and Andreas Schwabe of My Beautiful Cyborg.
Because you are special (i.e. you subscribe to this newsletter), you get first dibs on the offer code that PodSummit has so graciously given us to share. Use the promo code "ilovepodcasting" when you buy your ticket to get $25 off. There's a limited number of discounts available, so don't delay.
