Special Announcement: Ashton Pesaresi Interviews Nojus Brand

2946-08-20 - Special Announcement: Ashton Pesaresi Interviews Nojus Brand

On 7 September, Nojus Brand will appear on the Cosmic Background vidcast program for a full-length interview and discussion of the things he saw during his nearly six-month tour of some of the more dangerous worlds of the Coreward Frontier. Nojus is not based here on Centauri, but we hope to have him sit in our studio for interviews in the future whenever he is in the system.

Ashton will be interviewing Mr. Brand, and he has requested audience suggestions as to the topics he should cover. All topics will be cleared with Mr. Brand's media team before the interview.

Nojus Brand is best known for his vidcast program, in which he tackles some of the most hostile and forbidding regions on explored planets. His audience and the audience of Cosmic Background overlap to a large degree, and after the positive reviews that reached both programs concerning his recent unplanned appearance on this text feed under the Tales from the Inbox metatag category, our two programs have decided to establish a more regular collaborations.

A second Tales from the Inbox episode featuring Mr. Brand's escapades will enter the text feed tomorrow at the usual time.

Upcoming Events: Ashton Pesaresi CBCP Centauri Panel Schedule

2946-06-07 - Upcoming Events: Ashton Pesaresi at CBCP Centauri

Cosmic Background host Ashton Pesaresi will participate in several panels in October during CBCP Centauri, which is being hosted this year on the campus of Baumgartner University in the city of Pele. He will participate in the following panels at the convention:

  • 2946-10-03 (Monday) The Interstellar Community as an Audience - Back by popular demand, this panel was hosted by the same group last year. Several members of the datasphere media talk about the pros and cons of interstellar professionals as an audience, about how to turn a profit when producing media for this audience, and of course some of the unexpected and sometimes amusing consequences of having an audience spread throughout explored space.
  • 2946-10-05 (Wednesday) Programming Choices For Live and Archive - The debate still rages as it has since the Second Dark Age: should an entertainer design content for the consumer who ingests it in real-time (or shortly thereafter), or should the consumer who ingests vast quantities of past content from the archive be the intended audience? Is there a good way to harmonize these two audiences? Learn how the personalities behind some of Centauri's most popular vidcasts have handled this balance for their own programming, and how they think those decisions are affected by tight economic conditions and an era of increasing youth migration to the Frontiers.
  • 2946-10-07 (Friday) Growing Your Off-Planet Audience - As technology gradually decreases the cost and latency of retrieving data from light-years away, the value of an audience which can only access your content via hypercast relay increases. Learn how to maximize your chances of acquiring an audience on other inhabited worlds, both in the Core Worlds and elsewhere, from the professionals who have, by accident or design, done it themselves.

Entry passes to the yearly Convention of Broadcast Professionals can be reserved on the organizers' datasphere hub. The convention is not sold out, but its organizers estimate that it will be sold out within five days. If you wish to meet Ashton at the convention and hear his thoughts on any of the above topics, you are advised to reserve a pass as soon as possible. Their hub also contains information about other aspects of the event, including full lists of all panels and other programming.
