The Flashfoward Video Podcast concludes...

Day 4 of Flashforward2006 Austin was the session-packed finale to the conference. In this excellent, final video podcast, Garrick enlists additional interviewers to speak with a number of attendees, and the montage of these conversations is really fun to watch. You'll also hear from speakers Bruce Heavin and Robert Hoekman, Jr., as well as and Arpit Mathur -- member of the team that built Comcast's "The Fan," which won the People's Choice Award at the Film Festival. And finally, a brief wrap-up from Lynda.
