TPN's 24 Hour Podcast Marathon

[webmacster87]

I've got some exciting news to share from our friends at the Tech Podcast Network. This Friday, December 21st, Todd Cochrane (the CEO of RawVoice, parent company of the Tech Podcast Network) will be doing a 24 Hour Podcast Marathon. The marathon will begin at 11 AM EST (16:00 UTC) on Friday, and end at the same time on Saturday, and will be simultaneously broadcast on TalkShoe and Ustream.tv.

During his 24 hour vigil, Todd will be raising money to be donated to the One Laptop Per Chld Give One, Get One campaign. The goal will be to raise $1200, which will send three laptops to children overseas, plus three additional laptops which will be given away to randomly selected donors.

In addition, Todd will spend the marathon interviewing various members of the Tech Podcast Network community, and at 5:30 PM EST (22:30 UTC), he will be doing a live recording of his own Geek News Central podcast.

I will be one of the tech podcasters to be interviewed during the marathon. I am currently scheduled to be appearing at 9 AM EST on Saturday morning (1400 UTC), and will talking both about phpBB Weekly and about PreviewCast.

So, please feel free to listen in to any portion of the marathon, and also donate to the OLPC campaign! Hope to see you all there.

I have updated the first post to reflect the new time. I will instead be on the live podcast tomorrow morning at 9 AM EST (1400 UTC), and this is official now. Todd will have been on the thing for 21 hours at this point, so it could be a mumbling discussion, but feel free to listen in if you're interested!

The live marathon is ongoing on both TalkShoe and Ustream, and links to both are in the first post.

Also, I will be releasing the portion of the marathon that I appear in as a special edition episode of phpBB Weekly as well, so you'll be able to listen in after the fact.
