As you know from my previous post, Chowder Radio recently joined the Far Point Media family of podcasts. Being part of a family means sharing in both the joy and sadness, the good times and bad.

On April 1st one of the FarPoint Media family, Joe Murphy, lost his battle with cancer and passed away. Joe had leiomyosarcoma carcinoma, a rare disease that affects less than 4 in 1,000,0000 people. Joe had not only been a co-host or integral part of several podcasts in FPM, including The Kickass Mystic Ninjas and Michael and Evo’s Wingin’ It!

Joe was very widely loved by the podcast community, and leaves many, many good friends behind. In a way I feel a bit cheated that I never had the opportunity to meet him as I joined the FPM family during Joe’s last few days. From everything I have heard, he sounded like a gentle, loving person who had a stellar personality. I never knew him, but I wish I had.

That being said, I am linking an mp3 file for you all to enjoy. A show dedicated as a tribute to their fallen friend, Joe’s close friends and co-hosts discuss the many characteristics and memorable moments that made him who he was. They say you never know what you have until it’s gone, but when it comes to Joe, I’d say that wasn’t the case.

Please enjoy the Tribute to Joe Murphy, aka Mason Rocket, aka Randy Inuendo (just click “play now” at the bottom of this post to activate the player). For those of you like me who never knew him, it will give you an idea of why he was loved so much. Don’t worry, it is (for the vast majority) a light-hearted and fun look into his friends’ memories of him. Judging from what I have seen and heard about him, I think Joe would have wanted it that way.

Hey y’all,

Episode 011 is in the books! This week we discussed St. Patrick’s Day and how it is celebrated in the United States. Also, had an “Idiots in the News” segment and played a few tunes. Thanks to Shane for his website comment last week. Highlight of the show was Tokyo Joe’s new international segment and discussion of “Only in Japan” and their misuse of the English language.

To complement his segment, Tokyo Joe provided two images for you all to enjoy:

New episode! I want the podcast to be more energetic, so I am attempting to be more pumped up myself and will try to do this moving forward.

In the show I talk about California news (global warming means flood insurance) and we have an international segment from my good friend Andy from Sweden. Also be sure to check out the Deadpan podcast at http://www.jackmangan.com/.

Hey all, a bit of a teaser for you. I know I played this in the intro to a previous podcast, but I thought I would post this promo up on the website, just in case anyone wanted to download it and, say…. maybe play during their podcast?

Anyway, this was made with the help of the sultry-voiced Beth Cameron, who also did my intro and outro voiceover for Episode #8. If you would like to contact her, send her an email to cameron.vo @ verizon.net - she is worth it!

Sometimes it seems so difficult to find the time to get my podcasts out on a regular basis!

This week I discuss the Super Bowl and what other countries think about American Rules Football (or “Gridiron” as it is called overseas) and what other sports are like. I had an opportunity to watch Aussie Rules Football when I was in Australia and I talk a bit about that.

I also talk a little bit about the tv show “Lost” and why I enjoy it so much - which really goes back to a boyhood fantasy about shipwrecking on a tropical island full of mysteries.

A little bit of news from around the globe closes it out. It is a shorter episode than usual, but I still have fun putting it out. This week I did not have an international segment, but I have several podcasters from around the globe who are interested in telling us about their countries, cultures, and their own podcasts you can listen to, so stay tuned.
