Janet Pierson is on the end of the line in our final preview of South by Southwest. Taking over from Matt Dentler at SXSW Film, Janet is no stranger to film-making (having been involved with many films, including Clerks and Roger & Me to name two), and her enthusiasm for the challenge of the Film Festival is clear for all to hear.

Our second preview of South by Southwest is Hugh Forrest from the Interactive conference - now established as one of the flagship conferences of the tech world. Hugh and I cover a number of issues, including how late can the plans change; does panel picker promote diversity at SXSW interactive; deciding on the keynote speakers and inviting people back to speak again; the party scene; and the growth of SXSW.

This is the first of our three preview shows for the South by Southwest festivals, and arguably SXSW is most widely known for its music festival (although we know that Film and Interactive are catching up quickly in their respective circles). I caught up with Brent Grulke, who helps helm SXSW Music, to find out how the preparations are coming along, where the bands are from, and generally find out why 2009 could well be the best year yet for SXSW Music.

Things are never what they seem - and thats very true for today’s show. Shuttle is an absolutely engrossing movie, but does require you to know very little about it when you see it (and that makes the interview tricky); the AMEE project is uncovering the truth of our environment, or at least getting a mass of data; and the discovery of new music - today its Trash Fashion - is always a joy.

And so into the interviews - although one part preview/one interesting story with Brad Graham from SXSW Baby sits alongside the challenging film Sex Positive, based around the beginnings of the safe sex movement in New York, and the youthful exuberance of the one of the top independent bands from the UK, Koopa!

The final preview of the SXSW Podcast is with Brent Grulke. SXSW Music is the core festival, or at least the oldest, and is regarded as one of the top music festivals in the world - ask any band if they would play here and they’d bite your leg off. Brent Grulke has been involved for many many years, and now is the Musical Director of the festival. What keeps him excited and involved, which bands would want to play, and how do you choose the best of the best to play the showcases?

Continuing our previews of the trinity that makes up SXSW, today is the turn of SXSW Film Head Honcho, Matt Dentler. Where do the films come from, what does Matt and the team get up to for the rest of the year, how cool is the Alamo, and what would Matt run in a Film Festival for people who have never seen a film? All that and more is in today’s show.

After the well received hints and tips podcast yesterday, the first of three preview shows has me talking to Hugh Forrest, the man behind SXSW Interactive. From loaning the team a Mac many years ago, he’s overseen the youngest but fastest growing part of the SXSW experience. What has he learned, how does the team choose the panels, and will Brian Eno ever do a keynote?

Ladies (and Gentlemen), start your audio engines! SXSW is very very close, and that means it’s time to warm up the podcast muscle for Austin as well. Before the full daily show kicks off, I’ll be previewing the three elements (interactive, film and music) with the organisers of the conference - to start with, a whistle stop tour of things to do, with some Top Tips on surviving SXSW from those that are setting it up....

What a fun day yesterday was. Panels that ranged across music, mobiles, the web, copyright law, Web 2.0 and consumers taking matters into their own hands, some cracking live bands, and a great midnight movie to finish it of.

There’s a bundle of stories and thoughts here at SXSW Music, and we’ll get to that in the next few shows. For now, there’s a fascinating interview with Ian Schaffer from Deep Focus (the company behind the Court TV ad/blog campaign to name one), a talk with Corey Dennis from Ioda along with the headline band from their opening day gig), and Casey Muller from Jamglue talking about music communities.

Mostly movies today, but with the musical biopic of Larry Pierce, you’ve got some melodies to join in with at the very end of the show. Before that though, 40,000 zombie sheep attack the farm in the New Zealand comedy horror agriculture spectacle that will rival Shaun of the Dead this year, and the chaos of getting every music registrant a wristband.
Today’s Guests From SXSW:
Hugh Forrest, SXSW Coordinator talking about registering all the music fans and more.
Jonathan King, writer and director of Black Sheep.
Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett, directors of Dirty Country.
Larry Pierce sings “I Think About You Every Time...”
A burst of short thoughts from the floor of the trade show to start today’s show, from opening up systems (OpenID) at AOL, to new storytelling methods and ideas, to the impressive One Laptop Per Child program. And for SXSW Movie, when you have people who love movies as much as Chris Kattan and Glasgow Phillips (from Undead or Alive) you can’t help but chat about the resurgence of the Zombie, The Transformers Movie, Pirates of the Caribbean and debate the merits of The Swarm.
Today’s Guest From SXSW:
Owen Walsh from AOL on AOL’s OpenID Plans
New forms of storytelling from The Couriers of Ruin (www.thespyronsconcept.com)
I get my hands on an OLPC Computer.

Last night’s Web Awards brought pretty much every Interactive badge holder to the Hilton Hotel Ballroom for the annual rewarding of the newest and latest sites in the internet. Stay tuned to the end of the show for some of the more notable winner’s names, but before then I caht to two nominees and the man behind the awards. Of course SXSW isn’t just that, so Twisted (a balloonamentary) tell me more about the delights of balloon modelling and documentary filmmaking.

Everyone at SXSW will meet different people, have different experiences, but all of them have one contstant. The Big Bag of Flyers and Giveaways. Today’s SXSW Podcast from The Podcast Network opens up the secrets of the ‘Big Bag,’ as well as grabbing Harry Knowles (Ain’t It Cool) to give some perspective on SXSW Film.
Ewan starts his SXSW coverage by going right to the top, literally, interviewing the very tall Hugh Forrest, event director for the SXSW Interactive Conference and getting a preview of the 2007 event.
