It’s not even half way through, but one of the winners in the “get as much attention as possible” stakes is the geo-location game of Foursquare. Sure you can let everyone know where you are, but there’s more to this social network than most.

Time to start the 2010 podcast coverage of South by Southwest, rather than talk to the Festival organisers, there’s a more pressing matter to be dealt with first. How can you go to SXSW, interact with everyone, and not be a douchebag?
Luckily, I caught up with Ed Hunsinger in San Francisco before we both flew to Austin to talk about his panel, funnily enough called How Not To Be A Douchebag at SXSW (which runs today, Friday, at 5pm)

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.

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.
