The Pod 5 launched their very own Pod 5 Idol featuring acapella renditions of podsafe songs by podcasters and podsafe artists, competing for charity. All 15 contestants have pledged to donate $5 each to the charity of the winner’s choice. Participants include Matthew Ebel, Karmyn Tyler, KFC of Skydiver Girls, Cybster DJ, all 5 of the show hosts, and more. Oh, and of course, me! I am competing on behalf of TibetAid, to whom I have recently donated $5 via ChipIn. In return they sent me 3 “Compassion” reminder bracelets with a receipt for my contribution. Nice! Interestingly, 3 of us covered fellow contestant, Matthew Ebel (myself included), and Cybster DJ covered me!
Check out the show and vote for your favorite contestant – once a day, if possible – by emailing vote@podfive.com.
Yeah AnJi and Karmyn Blew my socks off, and check my tune by David Ippolito That guitarman from central park!
I have to say, Anji, that the best part of the Pod 5 Idol is that we’re doing it for so many good causes. Well worth any self-humiliation anyone may have experienced.
That 3 lucky voters are going to get prize packages is just a bonus.
It was great hearing your version of “I Know You’re There”.
Make it a great day!
