Geekspeak Special Edition

speakgeekspeak@gmail.com (Ian Levenstein) — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 09:50:24 +0000

Hey folks, hope everybody has been enjoying their month as much as I have. Time off is a fun thing indeed. Anywho, I happened upon this little gem a few days back, and figured it would be absolutely perfect to release as the first ever Geekspeak Video Special Edition. This is a recording of the Anime Manga Influence on American Society Panel I conducted along with Kris N. at Anime Next 2006. There are some small portions of the panel that were not recorded so certain transitions are a bit iffy, but pretty much the entire panel is right here in this video. Audio quality is not bad at all, and the video conversion is to my liking, so I certainly hope you guys feel the same way about it.

The file is in mp4 format, although I do have an avi of the file I can release if the demand is high enough. As always, you can e-mail Geekspeak at speakgeekspeak@gmail.com, and please vote for Geekspeak on Podcast Alley. I’ll be back quite soon with a regular old fashioned audio episode of the show. Until then, thanks for listening, thanks for watching, and thanks as always for downloading.
