Word blindsided many as those in the podcasting and social media space were rocked with the news of Tee Morris’s loss. His wife’s sudden death has impacted those of us who know Tee, know the love he has for his daughter, and our collective hearts go out to both of them. We at Astral Audio Productions would like you to help in any way you can. The industrious Kiwi in our cast started a chip in fund to help offset any costs Tee will have in the coming weeks. Any amount you can give is encouraged. (This post will be updated with more information of what those in the podcasting community are doing for the Morris family as it develops.)

Tomorrow night marks the recording date of a new podcast series. We have the concept, but not a really cool, in your face theme. Here is where you come in. Suggest a band or artist you want me to check out that we might use for the intro and outro for Mind Fuck. Leave a comment here on this post with your suggestion(s). Just remember a couple things:
1. This band or artist must be podsafe or have their work released under a creative-commons license.
2. This band or artist must have material as recent as last year.
Now, feed us your pick(s) for the band or artist you want us to use.

This is your chance to shine. As one of our own has come under personal and financial difficulties, we can band together as one voice to lift him up and show how much we care. Tee Morris is synonymous with playing Shakespeare in Chasing The Bard, and it is with this in mind that we are going to do a reading of John Donne’s Holy Sonnet X. What we need from you is simple, a quick comment on this post telling me that you’d like to be a part of this project. Pip and I will break down who will say which line. And what is more, the rest can say the entire poem and will be added in as a background chorus of sorts. At the end of the reading, there will be a call to action for the listener to donate to the Chip In fund as well as a declaration of our emotional support to Tee Morris.
Update Sat Jan 9, 2010 at 6:45 PM CST — Due to the overwhelming support and volunteers, we are going to also do a reading of A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for the auction for Sonic Boom so if you aren’t used for the first poem, you will be used in the second! Read more
Every year, around this time of year (where the last one ends and this one begins), a vast majority of humanity makes one mistake. I don’t mean having too much to drink; that is the obvious answer. What I’m talking about is the whole concept of that habitual promise to improve oneself just because a new year is knocking on the doorstep. The fact that everybody is doing it makes it as cliché as reality TV shows or like all the so-called musicians who are using autotune as if it were the greatest application since the microwave. Does the idea of having resolutions for the new year have as much of a damaging effect on the product as reality TV for the television industry or autotuning for music? Let’s take a look. Read more
