Boston Media Makers, The Final Mingle at Doyle's Cafe 10/20/19

It’s still hard to believe that Doyle’s is closing.

Thanks again to Gerry, Donna, Eileen, and the team who took care of us for the 11 years that we had Boston Media Makers meetings there on the first Sunday of every month.

For many years Carol and I stopped in for corned beef and cabbage.

It’s the type of place that we would search for when traveling around the world. A classic Irish bar with a lot of character. Sad to see it go.

Len Edgerly interviewed me for Audio Pod Chronicles: 53 Conversation with Steve Garfield. Listen.

Len describes the interview:

Video evangelist Steve Garfield met me this morning at Sweet Finnish at 761 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain, where each month for the past two years he has hosted Boston Media Makers in a back room filled with fascinating media creators, artists, and gadget freaks who have a chance to meet and share enthusiasms and info. BMM meets the first Sunday of the month at 10 a.m. for two hours. In this interview, Steve remembers how he first got into blogging, then video blogging, a genre he pretty much invented, and now live mobile "storycasting." Steve shows how a playful, experimental, happy engagement with new technology can yield results far beyond a mere effort to "monetize" internet innovation. He does talk about the nuts and bolts of moving toward making a living in this space, as well as what he's learning right now about the new frontier of mobile live broadcasting.

I enjoyed talking with Len. I hope you like the interview.
