A full report of the first week on the Holiday Gift List and Fundraiser events, with reports from Beata about past, present and future auctions, a sneak preview of a major auction item, and we sit down with Brad Ford from Wicked Cafe to talk about amazing coffees and the fund raising efforts.

A jam packed but short show that previews the upcoming 2006 Holiday Gift List and Fundraiser for CoffeeKids on the CoffeeGeek website. Mark Prince describes what to expect, how you can help, and how you get get some great products. Mark also talks about the 2006 Editor's Choice Awards.

Our longest show ever, but very worth it - we have an interview with Karen Foley, publisher of Imbibe Magazine, and a surprise guest to talk about the mag. Then another secret surprise guest embarasses the crap out of Mark!

A full packed show talking about the important movie Black Gold, about new products coming this fall, changes at the CoffeeGeek website, restaurant coffee and a sneak preview of the next podcast.

Beata joins in on the show to read nine listener emails with questions, and we also play two voice mails. There's two secret suprise giveaways buried in the show as well!

Mark records live to tape from Firenze, Italia, with Nick Cho of the Portafilter.net podcast, and Andrew Barnett from Ecco Cafe. They talk about coffee in Italy, the WBC, cafe culture and more

Stephen and Jen from Ireland talk about latte art, more Irish coffee, and the Vancouver coffee scene, with Steve as the professional and Jen as the newbie

A jam packed show sponsored by wholelattelove.com featuring a discussion with visiting Barista Arthur Wynn about latte art, the WBC, coffee in Ireland, mixing alcohol and coffee, and much more

Sitting at Kornhaus Cafe on one of the main avenues in Bern, Mark Prince reports on arriving at the WBC Judges certification, on Bern Cafe culture, on the espresso in Switzerland and much more.

I can't believe we crammed this much into a show just over an hour long - WBC talk, calls to Australia, a new magazine's launch, interview with a publisher, voice mails, and even a Beata segment. Crammed!
