Just Talking Podcast

I just got back from the Penny Arcade Expo in Boston this weekend. As a result, there's really only one thing worth talking about. I decided to bring on someone who has already had previous experience with the level of awesome that is PAX, Addam Kearney from Talking About Games. We get into his evolution as a writer for Talking About Games, the eternal struggle between Wolverines and Buckeyes and the paranoia of the Census. But ultimately our discussion revolves around PAX. We trade stories and experiences from our time spent in Boston and Seattle respectively. There's a lot of geek to go around on this one. Enjoy..

This week I'm joined by cupcake savant, Dana Lewis to talk about Diet Coke, Cupcakes (of course), Alabama football, and of course the power of social media. She has found a way to leverage twitter into a weekly forum to discuss the prospects, impacts and importance of social media in health care. Who knew that 140 characters at a time could be so meaningful. Come for the #hcsm, but stay for the gluten free cupcakes. Enjoy.

I've been told that I am one of the busiest people in podcasting. As busy as I am at times, I can't hold a candle to Manny Hernandez, founder of TuDiabetes.org and EstuDiabetes.org. Members of the Diabetes Online Community know who Manny is and more importantly how hard he works each day to strengthen the community. Along with TuDiabetes he is hard at work with his Non-Profit Organization, the Diabetes Hands Foundation. Our discussion focuses primarily on the community and his various projects. As you will hear, he is a very busy person. Enjoy.TuDiabetes can be found at http://tudiabetes.org. And the Diabetes Hands Foundation is located at http://diabeteshandsfoundation.org..

I'm not particularly fond of the term "Internet Famous" but if ever there were a person to qualify within the few communities I participate in, Marc Washington is Internet Famous. Also known as Phoenix410, Marc is a co-host of the Post Game Report (of which I also co-host) and has generated an enthusiastic following with his personality. This episode features a rare look at the Man behind the Mallet as we discuss the Talking About Games community, his unique approach to podcasting, Beyonce and much more. Enjoy.

Unofficially dubbed the hardest working man in independent podcasting, I am joined this week by Danny Pena from GamertagRadio.com. You might know him as Godfree, the man with a video game podcast over 5 years old. We spend a good portion of this episode talking about Gamertag Radio, its origins, and the unique blend of hip-hop culture that his podcast brings to podcasting. We also highlight Gamertag Radio's prized possession, Community Vibes. Enjoy.

One of the working titles for this week's episode of Just Talking was 'The Art of the Podcast'. Joining me for an hour of fun is Josh, also known as Crash from The Gamers Garage. He has been involved in podcasting for over 3 years. Simply put, he knows his stuff. We get into the ins and outs of podcasting for a majority of this episode. Topics included: what makes a good podcast, the joys of a diverse podcasting team, how to distinguish yourself from competition, and what other podcasting itches he would like to scratch. We also find time to talk about competitive gaming, Community Vibes and the pain and joy of seeing Brett Favre in a Vikings uniform. I hope you enjoy this one.
