Rest in peace, General Hammond

Posted on June 30, 2008 | 2 Comments
Don S. Davis, our beloved General Hammond from SG1, has passed away due to a heart attack on June 29, 2008. God speed, Don, and rest in peace.

As long-time listeners to the show may know Christina and I used to host a short-lived podcast called Stargate Louisville. I want to open the iris on that show one more time and would like to do a tribute show for Don. To make this even more of a tribute I would like YOUR help. If you have a special memory of meeting him at a convention, or a favorite moment from the show, please let us know in your own words. You can record something and email it to me: Brad (at) PodCulture.net or call the voicemail line at 206-338-3763, and leave it there.

I’d like to get this out and on the feed as soon as possible. Prob not the next episode of PodCulture (show 111) due out Wed 7/2) but the following one (due out 7/9).

Peace,
Brad

Bring Back “The Dresden Files” Campaign

from our frinds over at the Slice of SciFi Website:

Bring Back “The Dresden Files” Drum Stick Campaign

Posted by Sam on Tuesday, 11 Sep 2007

81px-drumstick.jpgdresden_overview.jpgIf all fans of “The Dresden Files,” which was cancelled by The SCI FI Channel are serious about wanting to get their show back with all new episodes, there might be something you can do.

Taking a page from the “Save Jericho” script, one of our Slice of SciFi fans by the name of John VanSeters took our cue about Mike’s suggestion of sending drum sticks to the network to the next level and got SCI FI President Bonnie Hammer’s snail-mail address. The drum stick is an appropriate message to send to Hammer since Harry Dresden uses one for his magician’s wand.

You can mail those drum sticks to:

The Sci-Fi Channel
Attn: Bonnie Hammer, President
1230 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10020-1513

Now get those drum sticks going and don’t forget to print “SAVE DRESDEN” on each stick you sent to Ms. Hammer.
