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.
