This is a podcast about communities because, coming from different backgrounds, our mutual interest is community building and we wanted to share our unique perspectives.
Each week we'll be interviewing people who are known for their leadership roles in different communities followed by a discussion of different online tools and their role in community building.

01:15 Jay gives us his definition of community, and clarifies this by talking about an active community
02:06 He is involved with a number of communities, including those in social media spaces that he connects with through Facebook, Twitter, or through his podcast and blog, people in the marketing side, and those in the music communities. He sees overlap between the groups. He is also part of other communities unrelated to these.
04:09 The value of online communities depends on how active a group is in working towards its goals and values. For example, meet-ups or people helping one another creates value.
05:35 The value that Podcamp brings to the community. Jay points out that Podcamp is both an event and a community. He sees the real value is in people talking to one another. He also explains that the people organizing and helping to put the event on get even more value from taking part.
08:35 Will there be a Podcamp Toronto 2009?
12:40 We ask Jay if there is anything that he does to build community around his Media Driving blog and podcast. He says his podcast mostly lets him talk to himself in his car. Are we surprised? ;-)

19:51 We discuss whether Twitter is a community.
21:35 Wrap-up
Our cool theme music “Get Out of My Face” is by Jay's band Uncle Seth and is from the Podsafe Music Network.
We thank Jay Moonah for all his help in getting us started! And to everyone who has encouraged us. We hope to hear from you!
