Sean McGaughey declares K7 Days

Canadian podcaster and musician Sean McGaughey has launched an initiative call K7 Days (in Facebook) to increase voice feedback for fellow podcasters.

The K7 reference is an acknowledgement that most podcasters use the free K7.net voice feedback service which provides a Seattle-based phone number and emails digital recordings of voice messages to the user of the service.

Sean’s blurb reads as follows:

A lot of podcasters use the free K7 voicemail service to receive voice comments. A drawback of the service is that like many free internet services, if you don’t use it for 30 days, you lose your K7 number. I also know that podcasters love to receive voice feedback, so I have a simple proposal:

I am declaring the 7th, 17th and 27th of each month as K7 days. On a K7 day take 7 minutes to leave voice feedback for some of your favorite podcasts.

I am all for this. By the way, the voice feedback number for MarkBlevis.com, JustOneMoreBook.com and ElectricSky.net is +1.206.350.6487.

I’m on For the Sake of the Song

It’s an honour to be a guest of Sean McGaughey’s podcast, For the Sake of the Song, this week.

I had largely forgotten about the details of the conversation since the recording was made in early July.  It’s a very relaxed discussion about my long (and still) delayed music CD, inspirations, podcasting and mix tapes (remember those?).

Thanks, Sean!

Over IM this morning with Sean McGaughey he pointed out the recently Derek Miller of The Penmachine Podcast has a birthday fast approching! He has also received some news that isn’t so Happy. You can read about it on his blog, he has been amazingly open and honest, but I feel this is not the time or place to get into that in great detail. Anyways in light of all that we want to put togeher a bunch of Happy Birthday and Well Wishes for Derek. We need two things, first is some audio. Say whatever you want, from as simple as “Happy Birthday” or more personal if you choose. Mark Blevis has steped up to take on the task of editing it all together, so send your audio to markblevis@gmail.com.
