3rd Annual NWR Live Podcast Telethon for Child's Play
« on: November 25, 2012, 12:24:31 PM »

We're doin' it live, for the kids, all over again! UPDATE: The full recording is now available -- all 9 hours!

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/sitenews/32097

We're back with another mega-podcast for charity, all performed live with many opportunities to interact with the NWR crew and our special guests. Please consider supporting this event with a generous donation to Child's Play -- all money goes directly to the charity (all we do is track it through a service recommended by Child's Play). When certain amounts are reached, we'll unlock another hour of exciting live content! Check out the incredible results of the previous editions of this event -- in 2010 and 2011.

The show is over, but you can hear the magic with the three-part recording. Subscribers to Radio Free Nintendo will get it automatically; otherwise, just download with the links below!

Part 1 - Wii U, Metroid Prime, Eurocast (Enhanced AAC or MP3)
Part 2 - Radio Trivia, Nintendoaire, Famicast (Enhanced AAC or MP3)
Part 3 - NFR's Wait Wait, 3DS Report Card, Shenanigans (Enhanced AAC or MP3)

JIGGAWHAT: An epic Nintendo/gaming-themed live audio "podcast" telethon
JIGGAWHY: For Child's Play, a charity that provides toys and games to sick kids
JIGGAWHO: Nintendo World Report staff, special guests, and you!
JIGGAWHEN: Saturday, November 10, 2012 from 12:00pm Noon Eastern (9:00am Pacific, 5:00pm GMT) until...?
JIGGAWHERE: Right here, so bookmark this page! Check back soon for the audio stream, live chat, and donation link.
JIGGAHOW: Magic of the Internet

Here at Nintendo World Report, we've long been supporters of Child's Play, the fantastic charity that provides toys and games to hospitalized kids. If you're not familiar with Child's Play, check out the official website and listen to Jonny's RFN Special interview with Mike Krahulik, co-founder of the charity (and Penny Arcade), way back in 2007. So, when our old friend Karl Castaneda brought us an idea for doing a special, live-streaming podcast to support Child's Play, we got excited. Not only can we do things live that don't make sense in a recorded show, like real-time listener interaction, but the lack of editing means there are fewer constraints on how long the show can run. Then we thought... why not do it telethon-style, all day long? It's been a great success so far, and this year we're hoping to raise more money than ever for this excellent charity!

***If you are new to NWR podcasts, please be advised that the show contains explicit language. We're doin' it for the kids, but the show itself is for grown-ups.***

(Note: Schedule and guests are subject to change before and even during the event. Each hour of content will be unlocked when the corresponding donation goal is met.

Things are pretty tight at work lately and will be for the rest of the month, but I think things will have died down by the 10th so I'll be able to make it on the show in time for our segment if we get that far.   :D   I look forward to hearing another massive podcast.  ;D

Very happy to hear that you're doing this again!  I've always enjoyed these; it's also near-perfect timing for some nerdy Wii U hype.

correction: That WOULD BE 18:00 for me – if I weren't in NYC that weekend. I really hope the recording will work out, I want to listen to this when I get back.

Carmine Red, Associate Editor

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Look for an update later this week with more content plans, a partial list of guests, and a tentative (incomplete) schedule. Generally, the goal this year is going to be $500 per hour, with an overall goal of raising $4000. It is a modest increase from last year, which I believe is achievable through wider promotion and awareness of the event. Naturally, we'd appreciate everyone's help in that regard. ;-)
