Techburgh Interviews STBD

Andy Quayle and Kaylynn at Techburgh interviewed STBD creator Justin Kownacki and actor Will Guffey (Leo) last week at the Creative Treehouse.

Hear Justin pontificate about the future of web media while laying prone on a couch in a horribly unflattering position! Thrill as Will hones his repertoire for that eventual Inside the Actor's Studio visit. Fame, thy name is Techburgh...

Do Us a Favor? STBD Is on PCNC...

(More acronyms than you can shake a stick at, we know, but...)

Erik Schark (aka Rich) and Ann Turiano (Caroline) were interviewed last night on "Night Talk," a news show on Pittsburgh's PCNC cable channel. The show will be repeated today from 5-6 PM, and Erik and Ann were wondering if someone in the area with Comcast cable (it's channel 35 here) could tape the show, since we don't have a copy of it.

Any takers?

STBD on About.com

John C Havens, the podcasting guru of About.com, interviewed STBD creator and BootCamp Pittsburgh co-organizer Justin Kownacki. Topics of the 50 minute interview include:

- What IS BootCamp PGH?
- The future of STBD
- How to collaborate with your audience
- The pros and cons of HOW to monetize your content

Lots of interesting questions in this conversation, including some great points about the ways in which monetization can (or should) occur.

STBD Sports Night

STBD creator Justin Kownacki will be taking part in tonight's Sportsocracy talkcast on TalkShoe @ 7:30 PM EST. The show is 60 minutes long and covers topics ranging from the NCAA Tournament to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Pirates and Steelers.

Listen live or join in and find out (among other things) why Kownacki -- who's been watching college basketball for 17 years -- came in (nearly) dead last in the Sportsocracy Pittsburgh Celebrity NCAA Pool. (Hint: it's all Long Beach State's fault...)

[UPDATE: The show went very well. Some very smart sports fans make that show run very smoothly, all things considered. Lots of insights I wouldn't have expected -- which is exactly why I'd make time to listen to a show like Sportsocracy...]

STBD in Pittsburgh Post-Gazette!

We received a lengthy front-page write-up in today's Entertainment section of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Reporter Adrian McCoy wrote a great article about the past, present and future of STBD, including quotes from Ann Turiano (Caroline), Will Guffey (Leo), Erik Schark (Rich) and Ryan Ben (Tim). Positive reinforcement from local media goes a long way!
