Bruce and Julian have published another podcast, this one with The Turtle. The subject? Why, Lotusphere, of course. :-)
If you are too lazy to read all of the information on The Unofficial Lotusphere Website, then take about 28 minutes and listen to this podcast. The Turtle provides insight into what to expect, where to go, what to do, and things to do off the Disney campus. Turtle, a true veteran of Lotusphere, shares his knowledge spanning 1995-2005. An interesting trivia question: What was the cost of the first Lotusphere? $895.
Any way, like he says on the podcast, and a lot of other people reiterate on blogs, this is a physical endeavor. A lot of walking. A lot of content at all hours of the day. Be prepared for it. Also, he is big on hydration, and provides insight into the best bottled water (and no, it isn't made in Florida). Further, instead of buying high priced snacks and beverages, he tells you where to find some non-Disney convenience stores. And he reminds you that there is a whole world beyond the Disney gates - for those of you with transportation. Also, don't think that you can out party the Brits and the Dutch.
While you are sitting there, enjoying a session, Turtle explains the work that those presenters go through to bring you the content that you deserve. I had some idea of the work, but not only does he present, but he has a Gonzo Website to get updated and places to go and people to see. He must need a week to recover.
Overall, another enjoyable podcast. Timely, interesting guest, and some great give and take between the hosts and Turtle. Plus a little inside humor. If you can't read a website, then this is what you need before you hit Orlando. In fact, listen to it before you go, and again on the way. You will not be disappointed. And be sure to look up Turtle and the rest of the gang at the ESPN Saturday evening party. It's on the Boardwalk. "Close" to the Dolphin and Swan. Like Vegas, "close" is a relative term.
I am betting that since Julian and Bruce will be at 'Sphere, they will be lining up some more fantastic guests for upcoming shows.

Would this be best for a BoF? Or better yet, use the World Showcase at EPCOT and do beers of the world. How many times can a person go around the world?
