Ottawa-based podcaster Mark Blevis, who’s also the co-founder of Podcasters Across Borders, has released a “producer’s commentary” that takes listeners through some of the audio techniques and editing decisions he made when putting together a podcast for Ottawa’s Social Media Breakfast 2, which was held last month and featured a presentation about community-based online video from Overlay.TV CEO Rob Lane.

Mark is a brilliant audio editor and producer, and his under-the-hood insights here are well worth listening to.

A month ago, I watched my Twitter stream get taken over by Tweeps attending Boston’s Social Media Breakfast 7. Envious of those living in Social Media Breakfast cities, I emailed Bryan Person to ask about ‘franchising’ SMB. Today, thanks to help from my co-organizers, Ryan Anderson and Rob Lane, we’re less than one week away from the inaugural Social Media Breakfast in Ottawa, Canada!

Here’s the gist:

When: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 from 7:30 to 9:00 AM

Where: Ramius Corporation, 55 Metcalfe Street, Suite 530

Guest speaking will be Adrian Salamunovic, Co-Founder of DNA 11. DNA 11 is a company that pioneered the creation of personalized artwork from the DNA of its customers. You’ll learn how Adrian and his partner energized the DNA 11 brand by using social media.
