Members of MacLevelTen Contribute to the Launch of The MacJury

admin — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:00:00 +0000

MacVoices‘ host Chuck Joiner is launching a new show: The MacJury. Each edition will feature a different panel of personalities from the Mac universe in a freewheeling discussion that will interest Mac users of all levels.

The very first MacJury empaneled consists of some of the members of MacLevelTen, discussing the rise (or not) of Blu-Ray and how it affects Mac users. Will it solve all your storage problems, prove to be just a stop-gap technology, or be leapfrogged by faster bandwidth as a video delivery medium? The jury members then take on the Apple TV, what it brings to the table beyond movie rentals, and what needs to be added to make it a true killer product. Why there is a trend toward in-person tech conferences, why podcasts and social media may be helping drive that trend, and the dynamics of Twitter are all entered into evidence in the first show.

The jurors for this show include:


Pat Fauquet	Don McAllister	Jay Nelson	Dan Pourhadi	Chuck Joiner

Don will be focusing on creating screencasts as part of the Producing Your Podcast component of the conference.

After the content itself, production quality is the number one reason people abandon listening and viewing content. It is amazing how little it takes to improve your production quality. Further, the time it takes to produce a show is the number one reason podcasters and vidcasters “”podfade,”" or run out of gas, and stop doing their shows. There are a number of tips and tricks for cutting post production time that you will take away from this session. The presenters have a combined 50-plus years of production experience working on projects as notable as Star Wars, This Week in Tech, Mac Break Weekly, etc. You simply won’t find this much information packed into a session of this nature anywhere else.”
