There were some interesting juxtapositions -- A print author who moderated a podcast panel -- The podcast authors doing readings without actually -- like -- just playing the mp3. (I still don't understand that one, but wev.) What it? something like 49 weeks to BaltiCon43?? I can't wait :) Very true, Lee.

Mr. Cottonwood asks "...literary versus podcast...". Here are the definitions in their simplest form: Literary: Print Media Podcasting: New Media Lois McMaster Bujold, Iain Banks, David Weber, Piers Anthony, Charles Sheffield are print media authors. Nathan Lowell is a new media author. Here's another definition: author: (1) one that originates or creates and (2) the writer of a literary work (as a book). With this definition, I can agree with Mr. Cottonwood's further statement "...the “literary” items were deadly...". They sometimes can be whether the media is new or print. As you can see, it is all literary regardless of how it is published. Just for grins, I googled Balticon 42 and came across this web log (popularly known as ‘blog’) entry.

Sounds like the "literary" items were deadly. As they usually are. Okay, I get it. Sounds like the “literary” items were deadly. As they usually are.

"Literary" vs "Podcast" was the informal designation given to program items relating to "traditional dead tree writing" vs "new media." The "literary" group had topics like "Plagues as Theme" and "Use of Social Science in Speculative Fiction." The "new media" group had topics like "Podiobooks 102 - Why should I give my books away for Free?" and "Crowdsourcing." It wasn't like "literary" like "oh well, this is F Scott Fitzgerald - it's literary." Hey, Joe.

Please. About literary versus podcast. Is literary supposed to be more pure or something? Or is the real distinction literary versus popular? (Warning: This is a subject that irritates the bejeesus out of me because I can never figure out which side of the line my own writing supposedly falls on - or who gets to draw the line.)
