Two New Episodes From The Pakbet Crew http://raincontreras.com/2009/04/22/podcast-kayo-dyan-two-new-episodes-from-the-pakbet-crew/ http://raincontreras.com/2009/04/22/podcast-kayo-dyan-two-new-episodes-from-the-pakbet-crew/#comments Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:05:13 +0000 rain http://raincontreras.com/2009/04/22/podcast-kayo-dyan-two-new-episodes-from-the-pakbet-crew/ I was supposed to be on podcast leave last weekend, but the rest of my group did NOT record ANY podcast episode as scheduled. So, on a hot Sunday afternoon, we somehow got together, and was even able to invite guests, to record the 4th installment to the MEGA-Pakbet Podcast show, which is due for a change-of-title, because references to the show don’t mention “MEGA” anyway, and we have to somehow get the word Plurk in the title.

Mega-Pakbet Podcast – Episode 4: The Jenijenjen Song

TOPICS:The Banchetto Plurkfiesta, a Bebigerls update; the Failon Incident, and its coverage on old and new media; and The Cat Killer from UP.

Pakbet Interviews Clinton Palanca on Photography

I would also like to present another episode from Pakbet Interviews, this time with a topic close to heart: photography. This episode is actually an excerpt from a longer recording, which didn’t really go anywhere. Karen and I chatted with Clinton Palanca in the last third of the show about film photography, cameras, and related photographic geekery. The Clinton Palanca? Sometime magazine editor who also wrote fiction and non-fiction some time ago? Yes. He’s a Plurker.

Collectively, the group is quite happy with how things are with the shows. I’m surprised myself when people will promptly listen or download the shows right after release. What’s more surprising is that some Plurkers are now encouraged to make their own podcasts, seeing how easy and empowering it is to have one.

Obviously, this is still a work in progress, but I’m glad every Pakbet member is committed and motivated to this project. We’ll just see where this goes.

I didn’t expect the meat to shrink from what I’ve been used to, but yes, it did. I shared lunch with two lovely ladies from Plurkdom, Nikai and Joiz.

We were there to get UP hoodies, and I ended my visit there stuffing ourselves with cake, and leaving the girls to fend for themselves.

After work, it was off to another Plurk-related social gathering, this time at the semi-regular weekend haunt, the Banchetto food market over at Ortigas.

Sonny, Karen, Gilbz, and J

Its not very often that Sonny, Gilbz, J, and myself would get together, considering we’ve been friends for some time now. J would usually flake on us, but since our humble podcast project, he’s shown interest, and actually delivered. Karen and a handful of other Plurkers were there, too, but I guess we just kept to our tiny group and lol’d our sweaty selves -since it was a very hot and humid night- until the sun came up.
