Give Us A Minute

This episode of Give Us a Minute is in support of a friend from the Twitter network. Diana K. Schubert is making the run in my hometown of Richmond for the Richmond Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization. This episode is not only about the importance of getting involved and how your time can make a difference, but is also is your opportunity to have Diana take a step or two in Joe’s name on May 10, 2008.

Welcome to the reboot of Give Us a Minute! I will be making more of an effort to post on this podcast relevant articles and hosting interviews that will raise awareness, offer health tips, and give us all hope. That being said, this episode is a look back on the “I Remember Joe” Tribute along with a warm wish of health and happiness to Brooke Zepp that has taken a step forward in beating leiomyosarcoma.

Tell everyone you know.

“I Remember Joe”
A Special Podcast Hosted by
The Joe Murphy Memorial Fund

April 1, 2008 marks one year since the passing of podcaster, Joe Murphy. Last year, in honor of his memory, many podcasts went dark for that week or paid tribute to his memory. This year, the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund would like to do something different.

WHAT WE WANT:
Between Sunday March 23 and Saturday March 29, we will be collecting 1-2 minute memories of the loved voice heard on such podcasts like Wingin’ It, Slice of SciFi, and The Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas. No longer than two minutes, we are asking for a memory or a testimony on how Joe Murphy touched your life. This is an open call to podcasters and listeners of podcasts.

If you want an idea of what we want, you can listen to Tee Morris’ submission by clicking here.

So, to review, we are looking for a memory or testimony, who you are, your geographical location, and the closing line “And I remember Joe.” No longer than two minutes. No background music or FX. Please send your submissions to Tee Morris at tee (at) teemorris (dot) com in mp3 format (128 kbps, 44kHz, Joint Stereo). Address your e-mail as “Submission for I Remember Joe” with your name and location as you would like it to appear on the blog post.

If you have no ways or means of recording your voice on your computer, call Tee Morris’ Voice Mail line at 703.791.1701 and leave a submission. Same guidelines apply.

WHAT WE DON’T WANT:
We do not want this to be a platform for your podcast or something/someone you’re promoting. Note in the example given, it was “My name is Tee Morris. I’m from….” and not “This is Tee Morris of The Survival Guide to Writing Fantasy and Podcasting for Dummies. I’m from…” Any kind of promotion like this will remove your recording from the tribute. Please keep in mind: This is about Joe and about the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund, not a promotional opportunity. We are wanting sincere memories and testimonies, not promos for other podcasts or special events.

WHAT WE WILL DO:
The Joe Murphy Memorial Find will post between March 30-31 this special tribute on The Joe Murphy Memorial Fund feed.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:
On April 1st, either in place of or in addition to your show if you have one posted on that date, we at the Joe Murphy Memorial Fund ask that you play this special episode. Play no additional promos, just this episode, and please direct show notes for the episode here at joemurphymemorialfund.org.

The more people carry this episode, the more people will know about our missing ninja. Thank you all for your time and attention. Tell everyone you know.

Yes, we are back!

And thank you all for listening. The Give Us a Minute crew is coming back with a newfound determination and our first interview. The guest giving us a minute of his time is Dr. Alan Koslow or “Doc” as he is known on the con circuit and the Internet. Not only is he a Ph.D. and M.D. with a passion for podcasts, but Doc is also helping to run The Robert A. Heinlein Blood Drive at Dragon*Con 2007 in Atlanta, GA. He explains why blood drives like this are so important to cancer patients, and give details on how you can participate in the drive as a donor, volunteer, or a publicist!

Also, podcaster Dani Cutler passes along to Give Us a Minute word on a Bone Marrow Donor Registry Drive happening in Tempe, Arizona on August 23, 2007. Click here for more details.

Thanks, everyone for giving us a minute. Tell everyone you know.

In this third episode of GUaM, we hear from Jack Mangan, writer, podcaster, and friend. He reads a tribute written for Podcast User Magazine, paying homage to our fallen ninja.

Tee goes on record for himself and Leann on the lag time between episodes, wristband status, and a change in directions (already?!) for the show. No, really, it’s a good thing. We’re already getting listener contributions. Thank you! Let’s keep the word going…

Tell everyone you know.
