In episode 633 of the School of Podcasting, we are looking at Podcasting Events and asking, "is it worth attending?" We also touch base with Danny Peña who has created a movie about his story and his show Gamer tag Radio (that is now winning awards at Movie Festivals) to help introduce people to podcasting and to his show. Danny can point to one thing for his success, "Community." We first spoke with Danny back on episode 506 (definitely check it out)

Danny Peña is a Walking Make a Wish Foundation for His Fans

Danny first appeared on the School of Podcasting back on episode 506 and he has ALWAYs been about his audience and building community (he still is). I drove down to Columbus to Ohio to hang out with him (along with Daniel J Lewis from the Audacity to Podcast). Danny met some of his audience and brought them backstage at the event and introduced them to some of their favorite gamers. Think about how huge that is for the audience members. Think about going backstage at the Super Bowl to meet Tom Brady. In this conversation you will hear:
- Danny put together an award-winning movie about his story and the rise of Gamertag Radio using iMovie.
- How he taking steps to embrace those who are not currently listening to podcasts and to help them understand how to start listening ( www.learntosubscribe.com is something I put together)
- Danny has multiple revenue streams in addition to his sponsors
- His relationships lead him to leave CBS Radio when things got a little shaky.
