The Future of Media

It's happening today… er, tomorrow night. The Chris Pirillo Show (as always) is broadcasting live at 7PM PST on Thursday, and I'll be introducing you to a couple of folks you really oughta meet. We've got the phone lines working through the Asterisk (VoIP) server, set to deliver to you THREE hours of live conversations that really matter.
First up will be the forward-thinking Terry Heaton. He's been trying to get the media to understand the power of technology / the Internet in recent years. Instead of shunning it, they should be embracing it. Terry's one guy who really understands where it's all headed. In recent posts, you might see him quoting another thought leader, Jeff Jarvis. I can't wait to ask Terry what he thinks about BitTorrent enabling people to see the shows their television or PVR may have missed. Then, I can't wait to hear what he's been telling media networks the world over.
But we won't stop there.
Ever hear of a guy named Kevin Weisman? The name should ring a bell, considering he's the lead geek on Alias. You might recognize him from his appearance on The Weird Al Show, as well as one of the guys who hated Drew Carey on The Drew Carey Show. Well, his step-father (Kyle Kyllan) has been a Gnomie for several years now – and they're producing a Celebrity Snow Jam on Easter weekend, 30-miles outside of Seattle! Ponzi and I have been invited to join the festivities, and we plan on grabbing interviews with other celebrities while we're there.
I want Kevin to explain why the event is happening, and exactly how he's involved with the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Research Fund.

DMD is the most common lethal genetic disease of children, and is 100% fatal. It is a progressive weakening defect of all the muscles in the body, and primarily occurs in boys. There is no cure, no treatment, and no survivors. Approximately 1 in every 2,400 boys worldwide is born with DMD, and they die, on the average, at about 16 years of age. DMD is a worldwide tragedy; kids of all colors, all nationalities, all classes, and all ethnic backgrounds die much too young, agonizingly, slowly, and painfully, from DMD.

According to Kyle in a message to me earlier this afternoon, “[Kevin's] band Trainwreck will be playing that night, and he'll be prepping for it. A possible bonus – he may be able to get Kyle Gass (of Tenacious D) to say a few words, depending on how long the 'cast goes on.” So, this is definitely one Chris Pirillo Show you won't want to miss. You never know what's going to happen!
BTW, Jake has been seeding interviews from last week's journey to NY over the past few days, too. We'll slice and dice tomorrow's stuff as well (for all of you who won't be able to tune in during the live stream).
