Episode 43 – Long Distance Parenting

Welcome to April. Spring has sprung and the pollen monsters are attacking our sinuses, but hey- there’s no more snow!

This time we talk about:

  • Somehow we discuss Wendy Williams Slim Jim addiction
  • Our friend Nobilis raises the question about disciplining a child when they’ve had a bad day
  • Kids getting MMO accounts hacked
  • Long distance parenting
  • Promo: Birdhouse Rules

The Boom Effect

Just a quick plug for a web event happening next week called The Boom Effect. The event will start on Saturday, February 27th at 10AM Eastern time via UStream.

This charity drive is a live, online auction to raise money for the trust fund of Tee Morris’ daughter who lost her mother on January 5, 2010. There will be at least 5 hours of entertainment hosted by Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit. We’ll be in the live audience cheering everybody on, and likely on camera on the main feed as well. It’s shaping up to be a really fun time. You’ll be able to bid from the chat room, through e-mail, proxy-bid on the website, and I think via video or audio on Skype or UStream.

And with over 70 items up for auction (so far!!) there is something for everyone to get excited about and bid for! Everything from jewelry, to pictures, paintings by celebrities, custom music, book dedications, food, clothes, signed DVDs and books, knitwear, and even Mozart’s Balls!! Seriously, go check out everything up for auction!

Hope to see you there!

Episode 17 – Race for the Cure

This is a past-due episode recorded before we left for Balticon. We never actually had time to edit and post it though with all of the Con prep! So it’s a little dated and we’ll be recorded a new one with a Con wrap-up this weekend.

This time we talk about:

ADD-Cast

After the DFH meet-up last weekend, many of us wandered over the Paul and Martha’s place to visit and record episodes of the A.D.D. Cast. Good conversations, good beer, and great fun was had by all! The studio was only able to accommodate 5 people at a time, so we broke into shifts with those new to ADDCast (or new to podcast recording completely) in the first session. We discussed Con season and how we were all eagerly anticipating RavenCon and Balticon.

The second group were past guests of ADDCast including Tee Morris, Marc Bailey, Heather Welliver, Brand Gamblin and Allison. I’m not quite sure what they discussed, but there was a lot of laughter and Tee’s daughter, Sonic Boom, was bouncing between us in the living room and crashing the recording session.

Enjoy!
