As some of you may recall, last October I stayed up for 24 hours in the hopes of raising awareness and funds for breast cancer research. The podcastathon was a great success. We had some wonderful cohosts including Melissa Thiessen of Girls Gone Geek, Dan Patterson of ABC News, Whitney Hoffman of the LD Podcast and of Podcamp, as well as the music and company of Matthew Ebel. You can find some of the highlights here.
I’m very excited to announce that I’ll be doing it again this year. Starting October 3 at noon EST , and concluding October 4 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 3rd to the 4th. We will have different podcasters stop by, some great live music, 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.
Bring on the coffee!!! Let’s make this year a bigger success than last year!
Your crazy friend,
Andrea :)
