I have become in love with new media, I have said that over and over again. But I am always amazed at the power of what new media and web 2.0 can do. I host a podcast called Geek Is Chic. I have been doing it for a while now. In getting involved in this Web 2.0 world I began to realize that I could provide entertainment and knowledge, but actually make a difference. I felt compelled to do something for a cause I am passionate about, Breast Cancer Awareness. I am proud to announce the Geek Is Chic Podcastathon raising funds for the Susan G Komen foundation. The event will take place on October 11 at noon EST, and concluding October 12 at noon EST, Geek is Chic Podcast will be broadcasting live for 24 hours to increase breast cancer awareness, and raise funds for the Susan G Komen foundation.
Geek is Chic is a podcast, where technology is fashionable and practical. Nothing could fulfill this creed better than using the technology available in New Media and in web 2.0 to benefit such a worthy cause. We will be live and interactive throughout the entire 24 hours. You can listen to the broadcast, call in, and even chat on Talkshoe.com. We’ll also be showing live video footage during portions of the podcastathon using Ustream.tv. You can find directions of how to join us right here on our website.
I hope you will join us from October 11th to the 12th. We will have different podcasters stop by like Liana Lehua of Girls Gone Geek and various other Podango productions, CC Chapman host of Accident Hash and Managing the Grey, Whitney Hoffman of the LD Podcast and Podcamp movement, Cliff Ravenscraft of GSPN.tv and many more. We’ll also have some great live music by Carlos Bertonatti and Matthew Ebel. There will also be some great trivia, and all and all a good time raising funds for a great cause. You can help us reach our goal, “Imagine life without breast cancer.” - Susan G Komen Foundation.
