Just Talking Podcast

On October 2nd, 2010 there will be a gathering of individuals both young and old. Some may have diabetes, others may not not. All will have fun, I promise.This Just Talking Public Service Announcement is presented as a call to anyone in the Southern California area (or anyone that can get there the first weekend in October). If you want to meet me and plenty of other great people, come on out. If not, I will resume my regularly scheduled podcast tomorrow.Visit http://www.ninjabetic.com for all the details.

This week, my guest on Just Talking is Peter Toledo, also known as Peterocc, from Gamertag Radio. If you didn't know, Pete is a really, really busy guy and we spend an hour and some change demonstrating that point. Gamertag radio is a pretty big deal within within the independent gaming/blogging/podcasting community and naturally we discuss Pete's role with that site. Additionally, we take some time out to talk about the sports scene in Miami including Lebron James. I also ask Pete what makes a DJ a real musician, and of course get the scoop on the upcoming launch parties for Mafia 2 in New York and Miami. Trust me, there's a lot in this episode so I wont waste any more of your time. Enjoy.

Continuing my hit-list of participants in Roche's Social Media Summit, I welcome Sarah Jane Blacksher on Just Talking this week. She has a blog about her life with type 1 diabetes, a hidden love for the St. Louis Cardinals, and a really, really big announcement about a secret project of hers that will be revealed on this podcast. Technically, she already announced it on her blog, which can be found at http://sajabla.wordpress.com but I'm still very honored to have her share this exciting news on my podcast. And did I mention the baseball conversation? I know! Just typing up this intro has me excited. Enjoy.

Part Two of my epic conversation with Film Tangent's Parris Lilly is now available for your listening pleasure. Last week I gave you the video game side of things, now we get the film and tv side. We break down Remember When, the podcast that started out as a joke, but became an blockbuster. And as mentioned many times, we have a lenghty talk about the star of 2010, Inception. If you've never listened to an episode of Remember When, this podcast will give you a nice introduction into how he and his co-host Jay do things. Enjoy.Inception Spoilers (25:20 - 40:00)Send any comments to [email protected] Time - 1:05:29

While familiar, there's a lot that's new and exciting about this episode of Just Talking. I welcome back Parris from TalkingAboutGames and FilmTangent in what became a lengthy discussion about all things Parris. This episode is part one, focusing on the video game aspect of his life. Curious about the status of UncleGamer Radio? Parris opens up about why he hasn't felt like recording in a long while. Curious about how relationships with PR work? Parris also opens up, in great detail, about the good, bad and ugly side of being a 'little guy' trying to get access. Next week will be part two of our conversation focusing on film and television. Until then, here is your first dose of The Mind of Parris. Enjoy.Podcaster's Note: This podcast is edited to remove references to games, companies or other individuals that do not need to be explicitly named. The stories are real, as are the lessons, but those specifics aren't essential.Run Time - 1:00:15

This week the man who calls himself HeroicSuperman is my guest. His real name is Rafael, but his obsession with the Man of Steel is quite extensive. We dig into that, living in and out of New Jersey, why family is so important and why he still gets nervous before each recording of the Post Game Report. Rafael is the last of my Post Game Report partners in crime to join me on this podcast. I think it was worth the wait. Enjoy.

Ut Prosim. That I May Serve. That simple phrase means everything to a Hokie. This week I welcome Matt, the Hokie Guru to my podcast to talk all things Virginia Tech. Most of the time I say “all things” with a good deal of hyperbole, but this time I mean it. Our respective histories with the school, a detailed preview of the Men’s Basketball and Football seasons, and a some perspective on the tragedy of April 16th are all featured in this episode. There’s also some Frozen Four and NCAA commentary sprinkled on top, but believe me when I say it, this one is all about the Hokies. You will bleed Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange by the time you’re finished with this one. Enjoy.

If you follow me on twitter, @iam_spartacus, then you’ve probably seen me retweet a guy who calls himself @docfunk a lot. What you don’t know about @docfunk, until now, is that his real name is Sujoy and I’ve known him since Kindergarten. It was a real pleasure bringing him on my podcast this week. He’s actually responsible for the intro and interlude music you hear on this and any other podcast I produce. He’s also a huge sports fan, as you will find out. We did our best to keep inside and long-running jokes to a minimum in this one, hopefully you’ll have as much fun listening to this one as I did recording it. Enjoy.

This weekend I completed my ride in the local Tour de Cure event. With cycling on the brain, I welcome Anthony DiPalma on my podcast to talk about, among other topics, living and cycling with Diabetes. Ever wonder what the difference was between a $3000 and $6000 bicycle was? You’ll find out here. Ever wonder what watermelon glucose tabs taste like? You’ll find out about that here too. Enjoy.

Last week, Diabetes Online Community pillar (or "base of the pyramid as he would call himself), Scott Johnson completed his Tour de Cure ride. This week I'm preparing for my own 20-mile ride. Naturally he was the perfect choice to be my guest on my podcast. We spend some time discussing his awesome accent, Northern Virginia's inability to handle snow and the growth of the Diabetes Online Community. There's also a lot of talk about a bus tour featuring everyone. Seriously, everyone gets a bus but you'll have to listen to this episode to get all of the details. Enjoy.
