My Friend Tee Morris
Jan 9th
He’s one of the most generous men I’ve ever met. 
When our podcasting friend Joe Murphy died, Tee was the front man for the website and podcast, first to raise money for Joe’s family and then to help fight leiomyosarcoma.
Tee was a founder and one of the first authors to give away their audio books at podiobooks.com. He’s been recording and giving away his work since.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s also trying to sell his published books. I really like his Morevi series but Billibub Baddings is my favorite. He and Evo wrote the original Podcasting for Dummies.
Plus, he’s a hell of a DJ. And adorable. And sometimes annoying with all that energy. I could bring up positives about Tee all day.
But with the recent passing of his wife Natalie, he’s now also a single father. The community has come together to help him in one of the few ways we can:
We can help take some of the financial pressure off Tee in raising Sonic Boom. Believe it or not, authors aren’t rolling in it. Hopefully we can be as generous to Tee as he is to us. I’ll be donating as soon as I can.
So if you have a few spare bucks you can send along to someone who will definitely need them please do so.
Joe Day Tomorrow
Mar 31st
So I’m reposting this for tomorrow.
Joe Murphy, podcaster and XM Radio personality, passed away April 1, 2007 from the rare cancer leiomyosarcoma.
Jack Mangan asks that we make April 1st Joe Day and use pictures of Joe as our avatars and just generally take time to think about our old friend. Feel free to copy this one I made or make up one of your own.
Beatnik Turtle’s song Mason Rocket was dedicated to Joe. There was a sort-of contest on Wingin’ It to come up with a new nickname for Joe because he thought Joe Murphy just a little plain for podcasting. Mason Rocket was one of his favorite choices and when he died our friend Mur Lafferty had this song commissioned.
One of Joe’s favorite songs was Jonathan Coulton’s First of May, so we podcasters recorded our own cover in memory of Joe. You can listen to that, too.
If you don’t know who I’m talking about, just know you missed out on a really funny, and really nice guy.
