From the PodCon website: "PodCon is the result of conversations between these four people:

• Hank Green (who has run a bunch of conferences and conventions)

• Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor (who created Welcome to Night Vale)

• Travis McElroy (who produces more podcasts than any other known human.)

We wanted there to be a place where people got together to really just /get into/ podcasts together for a couple days. That’s going to include discussions of what is oh-so-right about podcasts, but also some of the issues we have to face. It’s going to include live performances and mashed-up podcasts. It’s going to feature podcasters from tons of genres including fiction, news, science, comedy, drama, crime, interview and more."
