As such, we’re putting together a channel of videos from PodCamps past that will cover a lot of the “101″ introductory sessions for new participants. It’s our hope to foster more discussion by having everyone arrive with a knowledge of the basics.

If you have video from PodCamps past, please upload it to the PodCamp Boston University Preconference channel, hosted by premium sponsor mDialog.
