This week I’m joined by Diabetes Daily Blogger Sara Knicks. I had a lot of fun talking about the impact of social media on our own health and the potential for the future of health care in this country. We also talked about her amazing trip to Haiti, her epic journey that finally led to her proper diagnosis with type 1 diabetes and we top it off with a quick talk about a little project called ‘Waiting with Diabetes’. You can tell by my rate of speech that this was a very comfortable podcast to record. Enjoy.

My birthday is August 24th. To celebrate I brought the two people responsible for the man I have become, my parents on for an hour of fun. As I have mentioned many times on this podcast, my mom is from the Bronx and my dad was raised on a farm – this week you will hear the story of how they met. We also spend some time talking about what it was like raising little me, older me, and how it felt to see adult me move out into my own place. I promise, no tears, but there are plenty of laughs to be had. This was a very special episode, I hope you enjoy it.

This week I’m joined by Chris Paladino from Promethium Marketing. He’s been a busy guy over the last year so I consider it a minor coup that I stole an hour of his time to get into his experiences as a member of the Microsoft’s Gamerscore Blog as well as the genesis of Promethium Marketing and his current role there. We tangent off into some more philosophical gaming discussion topics that were certainly more thought provoking than I had anticipated, but that’s the fun of having a podcast like this. If you haven’t had enough, be sure to follow Chris on twitter at @CPaladino. Here’s to Episode 44. Enjoy!

This week, my guest on Just Talking is Peter Toledo, also known as Peterocc, from Gamertag Radio. If you didn’t know, Pete is a really, really busy guy and we spend an hour and some change demonstrating that point. Gamertag Radio is a pretty big deal within within the independent gaming/blogging/podcasting community and naturally we discuss Pete’s role with that site. Additionally, we take some time out to talk about the sports scene in Miami including Lebron James. I also ask Pete what makes a DJ a real musician, and of course get the scoop on the upcoming launch parties for Mafia 2 in New York and Miami. Trust me, there’s a lot in this episode so I wont waste any more of your time. Enjoy.

Follow Pete on Twitter at @Peterocc.

Continuing my hit-list of participants in Roche’s Social Media Summit, I welcome Sarah Jane Blacksher on Just Talking this week. She has a blog about her life with type 1 diabetes, a hidden love for the St. Louis Cardinals, and a really, really big announcement about a secret project of hers that will be revealed on this podcast. Technically, she already announced it on her blog, which can be found at http://sajabla.wordpress.com but I’m still very honored to have her share this exciting news on my podcast. And did I mention the baseball conversation? I know! Just typing up this intro has me excited. Enjoy.

We break down Remember When, the podcast that started out as a joke, but became an blockbuster. And as mentioned many times, we have a lengthy talk about the star of 2010, Inception. If you’ve never listened to an episode of Remember When, this podcast will give you a nice introduction into how he and his co-host Jay do things. Enjoy.

While familiar, there’s a lot that’s new and exciting about this episode of Just Talking. I welcome back Parris from TalkingAboutGames and FilmTangent in what bacame a lengthy discussion about all things Parris. This episode is part one, focusing on the video game aspect of his life. Curious about the status of UncleGamer Radio? Parris opens up about why he hasn’t felt like recording in a long while. Curious about how relationships with PR work? Parris also opens up, in great detail, about the good, bad and ugly side of being a ‘little guy’ trying to get access. Next week will be part two of our conversation focusing on film and television.

This week the man who calls himself HeroicSuperman is my guest. His real name is Rafael, but his obsession with the Man of Steel is quite extensive. We dig into that, living in and out of New Jersey, why family is so important and why he still gets nervous before each recording of the Post Game Report. Rafael is the last of my Post Game Report partners in crime to join me on this podcast. I think it was worth the wait. Enjoy.

Ut Prosim. That I May Serve. That simple phrase means everything to a Hokie. This week I welcome Matt, the Hokie Guru to my podcast to talk all things Virginia Tech. Most of the time I say “all things” with a good deal of hyperbole, but this time I mean it. Our respective histories with the school, a detailed preview of the Men’s Basketball and Football seasons, and a some perspective on the tragedy of April 16th are all featured in this episode. There’s also some Frozen Four and NCAA commentary sprinkled on top, but believe me when I say it, this one is all about the Hokies. You will bleed Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange by the time you’re finished with this one. Enjoy.

If you follow me on twitter, @iam_spartacus, then you’ve probably seen me retweet a guy who calls himself @docfunk a lot. What you don’t know about @docfunk, until now, is that his real name is Sujoy and I’ve known him since Kindergarten. It was a real pleasure bringing him on my podcast this week. He’s actually responsible for the intro and interlude music you hear on this and any other podcast I produce. He’s also a huge sports fan, as you will find out. We did our best to keep inside and long-running jokes to a minimum in this one, hopefully you’ll have as much fun listening to this one as I did recording it. Enjoy.
