Popular Podcasters Head to Ontario
ONTARIO - If you want to ask a ninja, this is the place to be.

The creators of the popular Internet series "Ask a Ninja," along with podcasters from more than 30 different countries, will be flocking to the Ontario Convention Center this weekend.

Bringing these stars of the Internet (and those who want to be like them) together is the third annual Podcast & New Media Expo, which started Friday.

The expo aims to educate anyone interested in making their own audio and digital video content - basically, anyone who wants knowledge on how to make their own show.

The real meat of the show lies in the keynote addresses and conference sessions. Among the topics covered are finding better methods on how to create content, detecting trends in the young industry and ideas on how to generate a bigger audience (and perhaps, more money).

The "Ask a Ninja" guys, Doug Sarine and Kent Nichols, will be one of the featured keynote addresses on Sunday.

The exhibit hall will be lined with companies ranging from Podango to Nokia, showing off various kinds of high-end podcasting equipment. There are also going to be a host of actual podcasts happening straight from the show.

The expo runs until Sunday, with the exhibit hall closing down at 1:30 p.m. To Find out more, check out www.newmediaexpo.com
