Betsy Bird (@FuseEight), author of children's books and of one of my favorite blogs, A Fuse #8 Production (hosted on School Library Journal's site), hosted a panel on April 19th at the New York Public Library's Children's Literary Salon highlighting podcasting in the world of children's books. We had permission to record the event and so I'm excited to share it all with you. A more detailed description of the even follows. Enjoy!
Children's Literary Salon - Podcasting Children's Books: Ins and Outs, Ups and Downs
Join podcasters Katie Davis (Brain Burps About Books) , John Sellers (PW KidsCast), and Matthew Winner (Let's Get Busy) in conversation about the world of children's literary podcasting and their experiences with the form.
Katie Davis is a children’s author/illustrator with titles ranging from picture books like Little Chicken's Big Day to her latest, a young adult novel called Dancing With the Devil. She's a video marketing maven and a “writerpreneur" with the #1 podcast in iTunes in the Children's Publishing category Brain Burps About Books, and teaches tech-wary writers how to build and strengthen their platforms through video. She also coaches on social media and marketing, or as Katie calls it, “making friends and meeting people.”
John A. Sellers is the children’s reviews editor at Publishers Weekly. He also hosts the magazine’s children’s books podcast, PW KidsCast, and edits its cookbooks e-newsletter, Cooking the Books.
Elementary teacher and librarian Matthew Winner blogs at The Busy Librarian and is the creator of the Let's Get Busy podcast. In 2013 he was named one of LJ’s Movers & Shakers. Citing “his innovative ideas and boundless enthusiasm for student learning and engagement” SLJ also highlighted that Matthew is Maryland’s 2012 Outstanding User of Technology Educator, is a White House "Champion of Change", and a published author.
Glad you recorded this! And thanks so much for you podcast. It's a treasure!

My pleasure to share, Aaron! Thanks for getting me connected with Betsy!
DeleteThis podcast was SO good, I listened to it TWICE! lol Though I listened to this a while ago, I'm just now catching up on comments for the ones I listened to through iTunes or simply had glitches in trying to post. I had the pleasure of meeting Katie at our recent NJ SCBWI conference, only through this became aware of John, and Matthew, I do believe we will meet---someday! This was SO interesting, gang. The NYPL does a great job with the Salon, too. I attended one a few years back and loved it. Wish I could attend every one! :D Thanks for this!
