Hi Alex, a business podcasters meeting sounds an excellent idea. You did a fantastic job of the conference, I was v impressed. It opened my eyes to the much bigger world of non-business UK podcasting. So that's a good few more shows to try and listen to as a result - you have a lot to answer for! Thanks again for getting me started on this podcasting malarky.

Hi Libby, it was good to meet you too at PodcastCon. Sorry we didn't have longer to chat - too much rushing around. Perhaps we should have a small gathering of business podcasters one of these days
