'Connections' Podcasts Spotlight Utah's UPVA & Colorado's CoPVA
March 25, 2008
Sarasota, FL - To promote the benefits of professional videography and provide information to videographers at the local level, Wedding & Event Videographers Association International (WEVA) created “Connections” the first podcast series about local association life, last year. Each show is hosted by WEVA Wedding & Event Videography Hall of Fame inductees and podcast pioneers, Kathy and Al Ritondo, co-founders of New York Professional Videographers (NYPV).
"'Connections' is a podcast series for wedding and event videographers that explores what ‘connects’ us," said Kathy Ritondo, who also operates Personal Touch Video (NJ). "These shows explore how videographers, both individually and collectively, are handling the challenges and creative opportunities that are unique, as well as similar, in regions around the country. It's a chance to take the pulse of our video community at the local level and share the news nationwide."
Nine episodes of “Connections” are currently online at WEVA On The Air - Click Here to Listen! (or download) the entire series, including these two brand new shows:
