Too soon? Sorry, Haiti.

When disaster strikes, there are lots of celebrity artists that want to step up and help.

Even at Minnesota Public Radio!

Listen: Haiti Relief Song

10 artists. 1 (un)clear message. 2 female pop star impressions by your favorite blogging public radio employee.

Here! Let me sing for you.

One of my colleagues frequently writes song parodies for his podcast and sometimes he requests my inner diva to assist him. This one is a combination of a song from A Chorus Line and the swine flu vaccine. (It's short, just 40 seconds.)

He sings one chorus and then my diva is unleashed. Enjoy!

Listen: I hope I get it.

And no it didn't take 12 attempts to get this version.........*cough.

Secondhand Storytime.

I heard an amazing, shocking and hilarious story from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend's friend.

At work, I relayed the story to my colleague and he suggested I submit it to a cool podcast called Secondhand Storytime and as it turns out, they recorded my story and the episode aired this week. Let me tell you...based on the responses I've gotten from people much smarter than me...I learned a powerful lesson about hearing things through the grapevine.

Here's the podcast.

Sorry Douglas Adams! I didn't mean to swipe your story. And technically, I did hear it secondhand.

Old people are cute when they podcast.

To help explain how easy podcasting is, three "senior citizens" stopped by our studios to record an informational song this week. I really think you're going to like it.

Please enjoy.

Pay close attention to Betty. She might sound a bit......familiar.......to you. If you know what I'm saying. Ahem.
